Hey everyone. Hope you guys are all doing well in this crazy f---d up world we find ourselves in. I was unaware of Charlie Kirk until this morning. Gwen and I have been exploring Zion National Park since August. We've been staying at Watchman Campground mostly but we did backpack out to Lava Point and primitive camped for a few nights. This is by far one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. 

Hanging out in Salt Lake City now. Then taking a trip down I-40 to Tennessee. I have some business to wrap up there bore heading back to Wisconsin. Life has been pretty good. We had almost no cell coverage in the park and almost never turned the radio on. The world is a wonderful place if you can just divorce yourself from all the negativity. 

 

Hope you guys are all ok. It's been a while. 

Sounds like a great life, nice one GD

 I cant imagine not being connected to news but it clearly can be done and it sounds very healthy

Yes, Utah has some really beautiful scenery. I never appreciated it until we took a photography tour down there. It's a terrific place for sunset lighting. Of course, the geologist down there blamed us up in Washington for "stealing" all their rain.

Time moves faster every day, but I woke up this morning and it's apparently still Trump (and Trump-think)-era, so it's not moving fast enough.

I occasionally still watch docs re: international/S. Korea adoptees (60's-80's, culture, psychology, trauma), because it's interesting/explains a lot, at least for many of us. I mean, it doesn't mean tons to me personally at this point, but it's still extremely relatable. I still feel like an alien sometimes, in that "I don't belong anywhere", culturally, social-class/status perception, other.

Anyway, hubby and I the usual, he took today off, we're going to go waste the day somewhere for a while, spend some cash, eat some good food. Then probably come home and nap.

Got fed up squinting at file names on the 27" 1440 etc so I replaced it with the earlier LED 40" 4k TV (and its heavy swinging-stand, argh). Since it'll only be used for program monitoring and browsing, don't care about uber clarity and put the windows app scale sizing at 125%. That+bigger screen size works better. But -

OLED and this LED are both LG. Meaning the remote/s work on both at once. Which is fine when I want to turn both off for the night. But trying to adjust other settings has everything popping up on both TV's rather randomly. Or if I only want to turn off the LED to reduce monitor light (film watching).  Have to hold remotes super close to TV and at an angle to prevent it.

Oh well - at least I can read stuff from sitting-distance and still have more windows visible etc. 

Edit: also having both be 4k = less dual-display resolution/positioning issues.

When you get one of those emails telling you you received money and all you need to do is check the attached file, 

then you hover over the sender - out of curiosity - and the address is @ troy

The file comes from Troy?

So it is by definition a Trojan file?

In a way I don't even begrudge them any money they swindle out of people.

I went to a 30th anniversary showing of ghost in the shell.

It still holds up
