Forgot about the freaks that have season passes and go to Disney constantly. They are fucking loons. Can confirm. Do live next to Orange County.

The article in the Atlantic brings the point up that it (the letter) reads like it was ghost-written by you know who.

Trump Finally Drops the Anti-Semitism Pretext

The latest letter to Harvard makes clear that the administration’s goal is to punish liberal institutions for the crime of being liberal.

The intensely hostile letter that Education Secretary Linda McMahon... I say McMahon because her signature is at the bottom of the letter, but portions of the document are written in such a distinctive idiolect...

Both saddened and relieved I never attained this level of ...militariness(?)

The language alone is super kickass and I would have had a lot of fun bustin chops. I was out of there before I was 15 so it wasn't to be.

On the other hand, damn, why was this even allowed to be an option? I guess it's trial by fire but it seems like military issued gear should be the only gear allowable in that situation and that they would have gone through extensive drilling till they got proficient before getting into potential life-risking conditions. Honestly, looking back, it wasn't much different for our first backpacking trips. We were still using terrible external-framed packs. My mom insisted on getting the crappiest discount ghetto-ass pack for me and I was in a ton of pain the whole time. Parents weren't super into looking out for us back in those days. Years later, I got myself a decent internal-framed pack and the extreme upgrade made me want to go kick them all in the dicks. It didn't cost one penny more, either. Just somewhat slightly thoughtful.

Haha, either way, I sure do love the way you described it. Thanks for posting.

Often, I think of this line from Deadwood when I read a description I really like. It's not about the lying, of course. It's about the turns of phrase and the storytelling. Thanks again.

God dammit Swearengen, I don't trust you as far as I can throw ya...but I enjoy the way you lie.
