Sorry I didn't see your question, @Numbernine. Where'd you end up eating?

Farmhouse Kitchen Thai. It was good and only a half mile walk from where we stay when we come to the city. Self Edge is the same distance the other way which is not good for my wallet

"The myth of "millionaire flight" from California, the project also found, is just that — a myth."

When my R friends bring up how all the rich people are leaving Cali, I just roll my eyes. It's not like those rich folks are leaving nice weather and Cali beaches to live in Alabama or Mississippi. They of course bring up Texas but even then most of the migration are to the 4 large Texas cities. Take one guess which way those large Texas cities vote.

I like how the bottom window is level with the retaining wall and the top one is level with the canted roofline. Very visually soothing.

I suspect that is lens distortion, but I wouldn't put money on it.

Pretty great yarn.

Betrayal, arrests and the weird, weird tale of the SF Bushman

The origin of the Bushman depends on which Bushman you believe.
