Is this where Bradley Cooper gets his technique?

Glad it was a good birthday and smart move going inland. Mel and Esmé went to Capitola after the clear and the beach was closed due to debris everywhere.

Hope it’s a grand one.

Sounds like the picked the right name for global warming caused "Arctic Zombie Fires".

Seems the Spotify hifi tier timing is still unknown (missed earlier stated EOY). https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/All-Platforms-Music-HiFi-Quality-Lossless-Streaming-16bit-44/idc-p/5324421#M238504

I'm not seeing any snow angels in these photos.

Congrats. Watching Mindless Consumerism thread.

Thanks everyone. Gifts (new Marin bike for Esmé) and holiday music at home and now jumping on the road to go to Mel’s parents. Birthday cake, apple pie, cheesecake, and who knows what else awaits (besides sugar crash). Hope anyone is having a wonderful Xmas.
