    I may have posted this before, but I camped at the Eagle Creek Trailhead in Oregon (pre-fire) and hiked down the trail maybe 5 or 6 miles, with a half-dozen waterfalls along the way. Incredible.

    Epic comeback by Rune in the 5th set tiebreaker after down 6-2, including Fokina attempting a little drop serve that did not work at all to give Rune match point.

    Murray looks like he may have pulled his groin while on double set point to go up 2-1. But closes it out the following point!

    Brown booby (of the seabird variety) hanging out at a pond in S. Austin. I may need to make the trip tomorrow if he sticks around.

    Not good, Bob! Can't stop, won't stop shattering heat records. I continue to struggle with giving entirely in to hopeless pessimism in an attempt to not be constantly bothered by what seems to be the inevitable collapse of the natural world as we know it vs. remaining somewhat engaged and always depressed by the never-ending onslaught of horrible news.

    Recs for good hikes in Crested Butte while wearing a 15 month-old, and maybe a good back carrier to upgrade from an ergo baby front carrier?

    Calf stretch constantly, get a night splint to hold you in extension while sleeping, silicon heel cups during the day, topical anti-inflammatory cream

    Barn swallows? They've got a deeply forked tail, dark blue back and rusty underparts. They seem to me like more acrobatic fliers even when compared to other swallows. Certainly smaller than nighthawk, but lots of small birds will harass larger ones. And they will definitely swoop down to drink from pools.

    I went to the Columbus Zoo constantly as a kid from 1988-93 before moving to Texas. I'm sure it played a role in inspiring my love and curiosity for the natural world to this day. This news sucks

    IF you got to choose, how high would your chances of rescue need to be to risk otherwise dying in a vessel gradually filling with piss, shit and panic VS instantaneous death from hull failure or whatever?

    Arrival

    hookem2010 replied to iodeac's topic in Movies and TV

    Interstellar is the superior theater experience, but Arrival is a better movie.

    Arrival

    hookem2010 replied to iodeac's topic in Movies and TV

    I watched it back in 2018 and loved it, then rewatched a couple of years ago when my wife first got pregnant. Hits hard. I might be due for another rewatch.

    How does it feel to have your livelihood based on a lie? Why don't you study somethijg more realistic, like Bigfoot or merpeople?

    What in the fuck happened in here?
  16. hookem2010
    I went on July 4th weekend in 2017. It was very crowded, need to hit trailheads early and probably take the shuttle. I don't remember accessibility, but I'm sure you could get around a fair amount near the visitor center at the top of the going to the sun road. That drive itself is incredible without even getting out of the car.

    Colorado Springs Police wait an hour to dispatch officers to hostage situation. Wife finds husband dead before police arrive

    That shot by Alcaraz, my God...

    Our little guy celebrated his 1st birthday with a temperature of 103 and an inability to hold down solids. His belated celebration was getting a bunch of vaccines after recovering. Maybe that's why he can't stand being held, nor put down for even a moment this week. So that's been fun. Also, he has decided to save popping out any teeth until his 2nd year of life.

    I'm glad you guys are here to provide up-to-date information. God forbid American news cover anything going on outside of our borders. JFC..

    Is Rune going to turn this into a real match? Would love to see it go 5
  22. hookem2010
    I watched a good amount of that match. Good players, but damn that set with the horrible call, where the umpire awarded Rune a point for "hindrance" that Cerundolo clearly won, was rough by both players. I do hope Rune fares better in his QF rematch against Ruud.

    Hahahahaha, been there.

    Yea, that sucked. Donnie had a Mcnugget happy meal at the park before it was time to go. I was going to have the fries myself, but he had other ideas. To lift the thread up again, here's Mango trying to catch a fly.

    Well, it's time to say goodbye to Donnie this afternoon. He has lived a solid 13+ years since my wife picked him up from the pound before we had met. He's been with her in 13 homes, through nursing and grad school, our engagement, marriage and birth of our son. Basically, the one constant of our relationship. The doberman (and more recently, baby) stole a lot of the attention away from him, but up until the last year when his health problems started to creep up, he was the easiest dog ever. It's so hard to know when the time is right, but every time one problem improves, another seems to pop up. He's lived a full, and hopefully happy life. Farewell, sweet boy...
