Haha. I envisioned you meticulously lining them up and spacing them evenly with a ruler. I wondered how you did the lighting because there were shadows under some pencils but not others. That should’ve been a clue that it was a composite.

Nope. You’re getting some decent conversation out of this so those 30 minutes were definitely put to good use. And that’s a nice photo.

I have #3 and the KH. The KH stays on my desk, but #3’s in my bag and goes everywhere because it has a fully retractable sleeve and I don’t have to worry about bending or breaking it.

That’s great! Thanks for the info.

I was in Spain 2 years ago and Cabify didn’t work because it required a Spanish bank/credit card payment. Have they changed the rules since then?

He throws tantrums every few days. It’s his natural self, so he’s not losing anything.

I use a French press every now and then. My kids bought me a fully automatic espresso machine a couple of years ago and that’s my everyday brew. Press 3 buttons and done. I’m getting lazier as I get older.

I used to have a large metal commercial vacuum brewer. It was great for large gatherings.

哎吔!

Lunar new year was yesterday (Jan 29th).

My brother and I were 20 years apart. He was in the military, stationed overseas, when I was born and didn’t come home until I was 4 years old. He had his own apartment and came over for dinner on the weekends. I was a confused kid for the first couple of months. Who’s this guy eating with us every weekend? My brother? What?

We didn’t have any sort of relationship until I was in my 30s. I was shy and introverted child and he didn’t make much of an effort to interact with me. We eventually bonded over chats about raising children (his children are about 20 years older than mine) and investing.

Unfortunately, he passed away a few years ago. RIP, bro. It took awhile, but we got to be good friends in the end.

Ah. I misinterpreted your comment.

Probably irrelevant because they won’t get prosecuted anyway.
