Damn, I didn’t realize I was ska until just now. I in fact have a trumpet and a coronet. And the first live show I ever got high at was Skankin Pickle touring Skafunkrastapunk. Somehow completely unrelated I ended up with their bass drum kick pedal about a year and a half later. I don’t even listen to ska though. But the attitude is all mine!

There are tons of nonreligious expressions of it.

I would, but then I’d probably make them learn while we were camping and give them some practice on fire roads etc

Man out in the wilds we can cover 10 times that distance in that time and not even have to worry about the law man.

Everyone else laughs at you, you might as well get to join in.

We should only question those who don’t regularly carry knives. Are they even trying to be contributing members of society at that point?

There’s no expectation of privacy in public places.

For dogs that are bred for snow, no question. My last dog was a rescue who was cold on cold summer days. He hated snow, he’d shit inside rather than go out.

My last dog wouldn’t wear them. He was a rescue so I didn’t know his background, but if you touched his paws he freaked out!

Yeah I’m a cat person and when I go outside in the snow I want to go alone. No brown or yellow snow, no wimpering because their paws are too cold. Just me and some crisp solitude.

It’s called the Whodat because that’s what everyone asks after it has maimed your corpse beyond recognition.

Needs more beans. Bean-cooled!

I go snowshoeing during the day, or maybe drive around in the snow, my car is very capable. We don’t have mountains nearby to ski or snowboard, and I don’t care for cross country skiing.

Sometimes I’ll drive to town for a meal in a local diner, or I’ll spend some time cooking a nice meal at my camp. I don’t spend time in my tent except to sleep or change my clothes, maybe roll a joint away from the wind.

I can sit comfortably outside in a chair for hours at -20C without getting cold. I like to stand by the fire sometimes, maybe listen to some music, there’s never anyone right next to me it will bother. And yes a fire is nice, but I don’t need it to stay warm. I do like to cook over the fire also. A campstove is efficient, but cooking some meat over a fire in the snow is a vibe.

Sometimes I have data coverage where I camp, and I might spend a little time on my phone or on a tablet. They don’t mind bitter cold, although batteries don’t perform quite as well. I have lots of options for power sources if needed. But honestly I prefer when I’m outside of data range and no one can reach me.

I don’t like cold rain, so Spring is out for me. Fall is DRY here. Like the only temporary drought we ever get. Summers are a mixed bag, mostly unbearably hot and humid, but we do occasionally get strangely cool and dry days where it is too chilly to be standing outside wet in a swimsuit. Winter is great as long as it’s below freezing, which it mostly has been. It’s not even winter yet and we’ve had four good snows. It was -19c yesterday morning, and we’re at the same latitude as Portugal. Sometimes we get a warm winter day with that 2 or 3c rain and that can fuck right off.

Texas weather sucks in the summer. If you’re too cold in a Texas winter you need to buy some actual cold gear.

It isn’t even winter yet and we’ve had four good snows already. We were -19c yesterday morning. I’m in southwest Ohio. Barely anyone around here really believes in global warming outside of the Earth’s natural cycles, because it certainly has not gotten hotter here. Yeah I understand global data vs local data but the lived experience is we’re very often below average temperature. Even summer days at the water park, sometimes it’s pretty chilly to be wet in a swimsuit. We’re at the same latitude as Portugal.

I completely disagree. I easily stay warm camping in the snow, I have the proper gear. I am completely unable to be cool outdoors in the summer.

My wife works for the schools and still has summer off. I have two kids in high school and one in college. All summer off. I hate summer. I’m going snow camping the week after Christmas though. Without them.

The land of Atlantis has been found!

I run a nonprofit that owns a few venues with great sound systems, so I deal very closely with a lot of musicians. And man do they all love their Macs. The windows attachment mostly has to with older large donors involved in our accounting. But neither of those things are going to change super quickly. I just keep switching over more machines one by one.
