  1. Took the hour drive up to the pass and it was amazing (also several hundred other people decided to go to the exact same spot, lol). The camera picks up a lot more of the reddish wavelengths than the eye does. Even after returning home and walking down to the waterfront in downtown Seattle, there was still quite a visible show directly overhead. Really amazing to see.
  2. C'mon, Snoop. Had to be the Smoka Bowl.
  3. It's Air Canada. They'd figure out how to mess up a connection on a non-stop.
  4. Yeah, that's somewhere up near Flavor Country.
  5. Definitely the blurst of times over at Tesla. Never fear, though - I'm sure they'll get even blurse.
  6. Amazon Primate. (And fuck all these fucking fucks. The Russian army's too good for them. Well, maybe not.)
  7. Marshawn would kick the shit outta that thing.
  8. Yeah, if you travel through a pre-clearance airport overseas (Dublin, Shannon, Bermuda, Nassau, Aruba, Abu Dhabi, and the major Canadian cities), you're released into the general horde when you arrive at your arrival airport in the States as if you were arriving from SFO or JFK. You've already cleared everything before you leave (this means that once you do that, of course, you're in a sterile part of the foreign airport and have to stay there until you depart, so keep that in mind). The fine folks that give you patdowns without warning want to ensure that it's only US Americans who do that prior to you joining the domestic air travel scene (the benefit if you're connecting in the US, of course, is that you've also cleared customs and immigration and can just go to your next flight). If you travel overseas at all, I'd highly recommend Global Entry as it speeds up customs and gets you TSA pre-check.
  9. All/almost all US and Canadian airports (Miami used to be an exception, don't know if it still is) make you pass through security after arriving on an international flight. The only exceptions to this are if you are coming from an airport that has US pre-clearance (most Canadian airports, Dublin, some others); then you've already cleared customs and TSA there and your transfer in the US is treated just like changing planes domestically. Other than that - yeah, you're going to have to clear security again. Some airports are better than others and have dedicated security lines for international arrivals; some don't and make you go back into the airport like everyone else. I try to avoid those if I can, much as I try to avoid airports where you need to leave airside just to transfer between terminals domestically, which has the same effect. It sucks, no question - and it also seriously sucks about your duty-free.
  10. Grew up on that stuff (Brisket's right about the chowdah, although Duke's is probably better). The original is a block from the office. The Alaska cruise season literally started a few minutes ago, so we won't be able to get in any of those places or buy our fish at Pike Place Market for 6 months now.
  11. @Nicole44? Same thing here in the PNW. Decent restaurants will tell you if the fish is local; seafood is serious bidness here. Alaska Airlines flies a metric fuckton of fresh Yukon or Copper River salmon to Seattle in season as well, plus you can often buy the local stuff fresh off the boats in town. I look for the Texas/Gulf stuff when I'm down there, for the same reasons.
  12. No, she's just tired and shagged out following a long squawk. Probably also pining for the fjords.
  13. That... doesn't work. WWII out front shoulda told ya (and not just Russia, but pretty much all combatant states) .
  14. Well, yeah, the Italians gave King Zog the push in 1939. An Albanian just isn't gonna forget something like that.
  15. "Continue reading in the app." lol Enshittification.
  16. Lol, Patagonian Toothfish. Nice try. We're on to you.
  17. Well, it's not smashed into a wall.
  18. Not that guy, apparently. Needed the line there.
  19. These are all salad dressings. Coincidence? I think not.
  20. Then why haven't I met Nicole yet? Hmmmm? We have lakes too, ya know....
  21. It shall be done in due time. They were amazed that, yes, you can see the football stadium from a couple of miles away, and were confused as to why any poor lost soul would need directions. They also were befuddled by a bus that said "hullabaloo."
  22. Traveling Houston - Dallas, showing my brother and friends what College Station really looks like (because I am a sick bastard and they didn't really believe what I've told them for years), and on my way home now. Disappointing end to a great season, but UM was the better team.
  23. Oh yeah, lol - I've been to enough games to know what crawls out of the woodwork at times. I've been fortunate enough to have attended a ton of road games and almost always have had a great time (even at OU sucks, sorry). Miami and tOSU x2 were notable exceptions - Horns fans' descriptions of your trip to Columbus brought back memories. One of the best CFB games I've ever been to was our loss to UT in the 2001 Holiday Bowl - caught some stick from some UT fans following but it was in good fun and the UT fans around us were great. The most Seattle thing ever will be to lose to UM on Monday, then watch them have to vacate the title years layer with no champion - so that is what assuredly will happen. (If your daughter comes to UW she'll have a great time in an amazing city and get a good education - UW and UT are extremely similar in that respect.)
