I am much older than you are, and I took a semester of actual touch-typing on an IBM Selectric III in high school *and* I still had that feeling. Too real.

I very nearly bought an old school like this, but then I had someone do a walkthrough for me and found the same on both counts. It would take 5-10x the cost to refurbish and the heating costs (central Montana winters) would be astronomical.

When we first chose a home to rent in Cape Town, I picked a place in Newlands and everyone I worked with paused for a moment and said ..."uh, you know it *rains* there, right?". We were coming from Seattle and I accidentally picked the wettest place on the Western Cape to live.

I'd forgotten about this, and it's funny you asked Vetkoek because I was gonna ask "koeksisters"? :)

Ha! I remember that place. I used to take my kids there. As someone who grew up in Montana, it blew my mind to skate inside, in the summer, in a casino. That was 20+ years ago. I'm surprised it's still there.

Wow, you are having the *exact same * experience we are. Just made the orange glazed breakfast rolls and we were commenting on the drug ads. Classic Americana

From a bit earlier, but I'm re-reading right now

I'm a huge fan of her whole catalogue!

We need more of this.. we need public cameras in "sanctuary" / blue cities for everyone to watch all the time. We also need cameras trained on protests and especially on ICE and gov't agents so everyone can see their behavior in realtime.

I feel the same way about not flying my GU flag in the spring. I'm a jinx.

SAME! I couldn't get there fast enough.. and I mean that. They really make it hard to find and cancel..

It's truly stunning. Yesterday and today... I'm making the most of it. (Of course, I'm also lucky enough to be on medical leave right now and spending a lot of time recuperating sitting under the sun in my back garden).

Ok, I just about clicked the play button yesterday, and everybody is still talking about it favorably, so today's the day..

Luke clearly studied under the same master..
