You’re 13, and you just got out of the hotel pool, trying to remember where your family’s hotel room is at. Dressed only in your swimsuit and maybe a towel, shivering from the air conditioning, leaving wet footprints behind on the low-pile carpet.

This building was a fire station, and bunker gear is the protective clothing that firefighters wear. I guess they didn’t want you bringing dirty/smoky clothes into the break room
Ah, that makes a lot of sense.
Asparagus made a lot more sense to me once I saw one go to seed. It branches out and looks more like a normal plant. We just harvest it before it gets to that point. Same with artichokes, they’re just an immature flower bud.
Unfortunately I live closer to the central part of the state, so if things are concentrated near Seattle then it would be a bit too far away

I'm an atheist / agnostic, but I miss the community of church and something about honoring the earth and the seasons FEELS sacred.
I can respect that.
On an unrelated note, anyone know where I can find one of these pagan potlucks? Asking for a friend.

The concept of having interchangeable, standardized parts is actually kind of a new idea from the Industrial Revolution. Before then, everything was custom-made to fit. The example that comes to mind is firearms. All of the muskets and rifles used in the revolutionary war, for example, were hand-made and hand-fitted. The lock from one rifle wouldn’t necessarily fit on another. If your stock broke, you couldn’t just go get a new stock and slap it on - you had to bust out the woodworking tools and make a new one.
In photography, there’s a saying: “Anything for the shot”

I’m so tired. I just don’t have the energy to fight any more, there doesn’t seem to be any point. At this point I’m probably just going to hold out until some NATO-esque entity invades/occupies us and sets us straight again.
