I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you are the facts that are on your birth certificate, and your feelings in them have no relevance to the fact of the matter, but given that you're obviously way more than just the facts in your birth certificate, they often aren't particularly relevant regarding many of the more important aspects of life 🙂

TBH, I always felt like it was a bit lackluster for stereotypical hiking (where there's a trail and you don't need your hands) (my wife likes to assert that I've been spoiled for where I've spent my time climbing/hiking/backpacking (I'd say I've been strategic)), but a bit of navigating and scrambling can get you to tons of cool spots up the various canyons without the need for any special gear. I remember really liking Terrace Canyon.

Seriously, we spent some winters in Vegas and while we'd go to the strip about once per year, we'd go to Red Rocks a few times per week 😁

Gah! I can't believe I just wasted such a perfectly good opportunity to make a dumb comment about "greener grass" 😆

Yeah, as much as it does actually have pretty good access to lots nature, it was never the nature that we get the most excited about.

We lived there for a bit. The pro strat is to never, ever go down town, then it can actually be kind of nice 😆

I once hinted to a boss that perhaps I represented diversity since I was the only straight dude who worked in the office that year. She was not impressed 😂

Yeah, people who self identify as a single thing, whether it dirt biker, theater kid, rock climber, wokie, think boy, or bitcoiner, kind of by definition, are one dimensional and boring and or cringy.

I would have just not thrown the key in the water in the first place, boom, problem solved!

On a different note, I'm removed from about half of government, only in that case, instead of solving the problem that they created, they would have continued to make it worse 🤣

Yeah, you also need to care about the things that the man on the screen says to care about, oh, and then there's not caring about the things that we're not supposed to care about!

Personally, I find moderation to be distasteful.

Thanks to an open dryer vent, on 2 separate occasions we ended up with a skunk in our house. First time things went pretty bad, second, the cat scared it off before things got too out of hand.
