Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Finishing a delightful 3- day stay at Cowichan Bay on Vancouver Island. Spectacular beauty, perfect weather, laid back energy, great hiking and dining, both. It’s been a while since I spent any time in the coastal PNW, and I’d forgotten about the BLACKBERRIES. They’re everywhere.
It’s two ferry rides from the mainland, though, and if I were much younger I think I would feel a little isolated living here.

Think about how much it would cost to Uber around the city.
It's not that expensive.
Boston is one city that drives me nuts to drive in. I could get from my parents house in Westwood to Fenway Park or the Grimey Garden OK. Anywhere else was a crapshoot especially Allston and Watson/Bright.
Meanwhile in Capetown everything is ridiculously cheap thanks to the Rand tanking. Good meals cost so little it is almost embarrassing.
Tomorrow...SHARK CAGE DIVING!

Of course I'm a fan of the Vikings. A sick and demented Masochist of a fan, but a fan none the less.

I've never had a problem with the T. *shrug* But I've also never really gone beyond the inner ring of Boston.
Handy, you seeing any of the 'reverse racism' down there that the right is yammering about? Of course, IIRC Capetown is pretty white, so...
I definitely feel persecuted

I know I am in the minority but I always loved driving in Boston. It is 1/1000th the density of New York, it was possible to get curb parking virtually anywhere any time except on peak Friday and Saturday night, and the drivers were neither insane nor bad, they were merely balls out aggressive and to me that's fine if you know what you're doing.
This was the 80s-90s. I can't speak for now.
I'm sure I'd hate it now that I am more laid back but at the time (my 20s) it was a really fun place to get around.
Plus, 80% of the cool places to go in Boston are not in Boston, they are in Cambridge or Sommerville or Arlington.
