    If Loyola Marymount had a football program then it would easily be there. One of my former grad school friends went there and I visited it when I came out for his wedding. Just an incredible campus right near the beach.

    Phones have come a long ways for taking photos of the sky. From the northern lights to just stars all you gotta do is hold still.

    The Big Dipper and the North Star (Alaska’s flag)

    Also the North Star is nowhere near the brightest star in the sky but is easily found finding the right two stars of the big dipper then looking 4-5x out in a straight line from them.

    I had to wait in the waiting room for a day once. The other 10+ times I got dismissed the night before.
    I had a nice ten year run where they didn’t realize I had moved so I could just return the questionnaire with the “no longer a resident ID this country” box ticked.

    Last time I was in that club it was so crowded that I had to eat standing up. Plus Terminal A just got redone and is very nice.
    And yes, I just happen to have a photo of terminal A on my phone.

    Driving yesterday I was stuck behind this guy going 15mph (speed limit 30) for a few blocks. Came up on an intersection with a green light and the guy comes to a complete stop. I figure he might be lost but he wasn’t looking around. Just a dead stop sitting at a green light, so I honk my horn assuming he for some reason doesn’t know the light is green. Proceeds to turn around and start screaming at me while he crawls through the intersection at 5mph. I hate people.
