I actually grew up in the Antelope Valley, which has it's fair share of Joshua trees as well. As leavesremix says, I also forget that most people haven't seen them, it's something you take for granted. Although I personally wouldn't live in the desert at this point in my life, the desert is beautiful in its own right.…

Yes that's true, Philippines has a big grey/black and second hand market, so it's very possible it was not official.

Philippines actually got the Famicom. Friends of mine in the PI kept referring to the family computer and I eventually figured out what they were talking about when my wife and I visited a used video game store that had the famicom.

I had at least the median student debt if not more when I was done with college, I started college in 1999, I now have 10k left. I pay about 300 dollars a month which I did not start paying until after I got out of college. If I wanted to though, I could have been paying more, but I chose not to. I decided to spend my…
