You can go as digital as you want but some things in life will always remain analog
The level of shitposting by NPR on this is amazing. Sure USA left Iraq in complete ruins but it’s not all that bad because they have elections it seems. Coming from a country where half the population actively supports a domestic terrorist who is calling for a civil war on a daily basis.

The portico of Luxor. Locals chill and take in the shade while the tourists can’t stop soaking in the grandness through viewfinder of their small cameras.
I have a habit of drawing random mandalas while in a meeting. Ironically this helps me focus more than not.

ROFL. I knew it would all eventually be attributed to the great leader.
The one that connects us all in family #mbmar
I find headlines like “history will not look kindly…” or “history will judge someone…” extreme cop out and useless. Does anyone think Hitler really cared how history is judging him now? Fuck no. He did what he wanted to do when he was alive and caused immense tragedy. You wanna learn from history then prevent it from happening, not parrot how history is going to remember something. This guy is such a fucktard.
I guess one last log for the season tho bantha hai?
3 weeks ago this area used to be our first floor powder room bisecting our living room and kitchen.

I was inspired by @parag to post pictures from our own Hawaii trip from 2008. All three of these were at Mauna Kea, which stands at 13800 feet or so. Two-thirds of this volcano is actually underneath the sea. In fact, by some measures it is also one of the highest mountains in the world if you consider the base of the mountain is actually deep within ocean.
Anyhow, there’s a small hill behind Mauna Kea that you can hike to. The not-so-smart young men we were at that time, we decided to jog up the hill instead of walking. We didn’t get very far before the lack of oxygen hit us like bricks and we barely made it up alive. But this is a special place - I will never forget the drive to Mauna Kea and the first time you break the clouds and start driving above it for at least a good 3-5 miles. The views were breathtaking (literally!), and I’ve never skies so clear. Later that night, we stopped back at observatory / rest stop at 9000 feet for some spectacular star gazing. Volunteers were there helping people like us look through telescopes and see nebulas and stars galore. Very memorable.
I gather that it is no longer possible for you drive your own car all the way to top, and you have to take their transport up there. You can no longer stay for sunset too I heard, but I dont know. Back then you could stay until the sun set and the observatory police would come and ask people to leave so scientific experiments could resume. If you didnt already know, Mauna Kea has some of the clearest skies anywhere in the world for star gazing, and while its a controversial topic with locals (they hold the mountain in high regard religiously), Mauna Kea’s importance to space exploration cannot be stated enough. #mbmar
Goodboi
It was a beautiful day today to be chilling in the backyard

Wanna play?
I am a sucker for old B&W photos. I am so glad I took the effort to digitize a ton of photos over a decade ago. With all the moves between places within family, a lot of these have now been lost to suitcases. They are not lost lost, but lost enough that its too much effort to find them now.
