Surf casting (fishing off the beach) is as passive as you make it. You can just cast and let it leave, or you can work the water, moving up and down the beach looking for fish. But there are lots of ways to fish. I enjoy being mobile, looki

Man, not sure how it showed up here, but I can relate to this piece. I spent some time unexpectedly unemployed in the same regional area, and fishing was my escape hatch too. It was outdoors, physical, and cheap. It was art and science, and

Domestically, not a whole lot. Sometimes the late check-in/out is useful, sometimes you get a slightly nicer room. Internationally, or at nicer properties I appreciate the lounge. Some hotels have a nice hot breakfast/dinner with

As someone who owns a home in a beautiful quite neighborhood less than a mile from one of those locations I can’t figue out if I really like this news or it’s terrible. On the downside many things that I like will get worse with the influx

It's already had an impact. The stalled metro stop between DCA and Braddock (next to one of the potential build sites) magically started moving forward again a few months ago.

Sure. YMMV, and I encourage everyone to find the system that works for them, but this is what I have settled on. Every page has a number in the upper outside corner. Every entry into the note book has a title + subject tag, date, and the in

Agree, with the city watch arc as the discworld introduction. I'd even go so far as to say start with nightwatch and then go back to the beginning.

That is very cool! I'm definitely going to see if I can incorporate that into my system.

Lots of good stuff in this thread. Two books I haven't seen are Bone Clocks and Cloud Atlas. The only thing is, you can't Google them, for risk of spoilers. Also, the movie based on Cloud Atlas is not great.

Lots of good stuff in this thread, but for fun and light-hearted (which lots of people are ignoring), Terry Pratchett takes the cake. I probably read over 50 books a year, and TP is one of the best authors I have ever had the pleasure of re

How is that a downside? It's too bad that schools are underfunded and can't meet every funding request, but given that is the current state of affairs why not post a grant request on donors choose? It's not that difficult, an
