49th State Brewing in Anchorage, Alaska. At this time of year, if you are sitting on one of three layers of decks, or even inside, you can watch the sun set to the north behind the Alaska Range, including +20,000' Denali, around 11:40 PM each evening. You also have sweeping views of the Talkeetnas to the NE, the…

Good thing Trump only “reads” the NY Post, not the NYT!

My math says 2-4-2 = EIGHT seats. 25% of which are middle. But note that given a constant fuselage and aisle width, those eight seats have a bit more elbow room than the nine seats in a 3-3-3 configuration.

Stilton?

Unless they are female, in which case they are “nasty.”

I am older than most of you, and my senior year of high school (in Australia) consisted of two maths courses (Pure and Applied), Physics, Chemistry, and English Expression. I used my grandfather’s Keuffel & Esser slide rule (which I still have) for all classes except — wait for it — English! The great thing about…

Given that we don’t even have enough darkness to qualify as civil twilight right now here at 61 N, I guess I will have to wait until the 13 month progression puts Jupiter in opposition in December 2025.

“Right now, anyone who wants to track their menstrual health or try fertility-based awareness methods to conceive has to download a third-party app.”

Re travel insurance: your credit card may already have you covered, assuming you used it to pay for your flight.  Never, ever use a debit card!!!

Mr. Sinic is an airline pilot.  Those pro level Travelpro bags are durable, but heavier than shit!  I don’t think I could heave a full one up into the overhead bin.

I guess I’m the only person left on the planet who has never owned an automatic. I can’t engage the heavy clutch of my Subaru with my bare foot.

Still waiting for the writer to own his bias and suggest this gift for Father’s Day instead. I was born in 1955. The rest of you should bloody well know better by now.

Thing is, I know two things: 1) I have always been able to outpace most people on tests of cardiovascular fitness, and 2) I am G/G on the rs2253206 allele, a genotype that is predictive of the “best” relationship between training and a reduced heart rate response.  I also sweat sooner and see less body temperature…

Exactly how do they expect to enforce this remarkably tone-deaf policy? If they let a parent dressed according to their strictures in, and bar one who’s wearing the “wrong” thing, they will be sued for infringing on the latter’s civil liberties. Under the US Constitution, governments have show a nexus between policies…

Are you kidding? When the sun doesn’t come up until almost 10:30 AM in December, we practically use caffeine IVs up here. In any case Alaska has a lot more in common with Seattle and Portland (the one in Oregon) in terms of coffee culture than it shares with New England. Maybe I should complain to Alaska Airlines, the…

DD’s coffee is awful. Weak, bitter, and served in traditional styrofoam that probably leeches toxins big time. And that’s the dark roast — their medium tastes like a mud puddle.

You are obviously guys and the giveaways were obviously guy’s sizes and cuts. I, too, have dozens of T-shirts from charity events, conferences, etc. But I can’t wear any of them. I am a 108 pound woman who wears a size 2 or 4. The Ts all come down to my mid-thighs, have sleeves that flap loosely below my elbows, and…

Actually, public access rights vary by state. New England and California are the most permissive — in Massachusetts, for example, Chapter 91 of the state statutes encodes the public trust doctrine for “fishing, fowling and navigation” below MHW that originated in Roman law and was brought to the colonies from England.…

That’s not a very big tank on the sprayer . . .

Agree. Plus we aren’t allowed to walk by these Divine entitlements even if we stay below mean high water.
