All the talk of the “T-zone” got kind of weird.

Firewatch. Road 96.

I feel your pain, and your post speaks to me almost as if I wrote it. To make it even worse, however, is that I’m now in management for the last two years, and have to put on an even more false front when all I want to do is work. One thing I have gotten better at, is being straightforward. Instead of just dodging around it and trying to let them down easy, just saying “I really need to finish this assignment I’m working on, can we talk about this another time?” Or “hey I appreciate you wanting to tell me about your entire weekend, hour by hour, but I have several things I need to get to working on, we’ll have to chat later” and then just stare at them until they leave. It was uncomfortable at first, but I’ve gotten pretty good at it lately, maybe give it a try?

I wonder if the book is any good, sounds like it would be worth a read maybe.

Don’t have time to watch the video right now, but read the wiki and found it very intriguing. Thanks for sharing this.

How does the video have 86,000 views and 2.1m likes? What am I missing?

Seriously thanks for the information here. The picture alone is fascinating, and the background info about the scene is very intriguing… but the additional history lesson is much appreciated to put the whole thing in context. Very cool, thank you.

If you know of her favorite movie or TV star, musical favorite, internet or YouTube ‘star’, or something similar look through Cameo and see if they are on the site. They have hundreds of popular (and obscure) choices to send a birthday message personalized to her, many of which would have the video sent to you in a matter of hours but she might treasure for a long time.

TIL the sun look like a Lorax.

What a great sentence, well said. I’m going to use that in the future.

Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.

I laughed harder at this than I care to admit.
