Chicxulub is a name that has gained international fame as the site of a genuinely cataclysmic event: in fact, the meteor which fell to earth and destroyed the dinosaurs must surely rate as one of the most significant 5 seconds in the history of our planet:-

Disappointingly, if you go to Chicxulub now, as I have done on several occasions, you won't see any evidence of that spectacular drama. Today there is a shabby fishing-village-come-beach-resort which seems to be dozing through a permanent 24/7 siesta. If you are attentive, you can find an understated monument in the town square, (which you can see again, just left of centre in the second photo) and that's about it.

Say what you like about the Mexicans, but if this was the impact site, they've done a good job of paving it over; it looks as good as new. ;)

They did an excellent job destroying history for money. :)

At least in the US, they know how to do a proper crater:-

i go to aldi's and walmart often

I'm going to be in San Francisco for about a week this summer. I'll be hitting up a show and MOMA, but that's all that I have planned. Any recommendations for cool things to do/good places to eat/good places to trip in public would be nice. 50% chance I'll have a car.

My friend who lived in San Francisco who I was going to visit ended up moving to Ohio so I'll be entertaining myself for the week. Gimme them dope places, hangouts, stores, restaurants, hikes, venues, whatever. I'll definitely be going to Amoeba and I might go to Fisherman's Wharf and Alcatraz. It'll be my first time btw.

I spent six years in Alcatraz a while back. Overrated.

I don't think I ever posted any photos from my any of my trips. Here's a couple...

Go to Muir Woods right outside the city. Best place you can see the power of the redwoods.

F*ck fishermans wharf. Not needed. If you do end up going, the only thing that's really cool is the old arcade game museum.

Besides Amoeba, try out 1,2,3,4 Go! Records and Rasputin Records.

Get yourself some f*cking oysters at Hog Head Oyster Bar.

See some music at the Rickshaw Stop. I saw Pile there and it was a cool venue.

I didn't go to SF much while I was out there. Steph will have better ideas.

Stay safe, bro.

Can confirm. Dem some big trees. And if I give you my aunt's address in Mill Valley can you egg her house, Frown?

Will do senor.

I can do something involving milling, valleys, and eggs with your aunt, sure.

If you’re gonna drop acid you might as well do it when you can talk to those big trees.

Can't embed a twitter video but that link will show you the most NYC thing I've ever seen. It's amazing. Haven't been to New York City? Want to know what it's like? That video. That's what it's like.

lol

Everyone in that video is a cliche in a good way

I actually like pizza with a pretty lot of “flop”

I remember this Sicilian place in Flatbush and everything they did was “for you”. I walk up to the counter order a slice of pepperoni.

“We only got one left here. You’re looking to stay out of the cold aren’t you? Sit down right over there. We got a seat just for you. I’m going to fix up a fresh slice just for you.

Could I get a water? We don’t normally serve water but for you we’ll get you some water...

Here’s some water. Just for you. Here’s your slice. Just for you.

People keep trying to get me to leave the tri-state area to move down or out to other places. It's really hard. I love it here too much.

Trust me. If you live somewhere that suits you ****ing stay. Location matters. Feelin in sync with your community helps keep you in a positive healthy headspace. You can’t put a price on it. Don’t fix what ain’t broken. Especially if your whole life depends on it.

I was definitely out of my element when I lived in California for 3 months. Something just felt...off.

I had the chance to volunteer for the course clean-up before the Disc Golf tournament at Old Joliet Prison.

This is where Jake and Elwood from the Blues Brothers met at the front gate:

One of the fairways that will be in use. You couldn't see down this corridor before we cleared it. In my haste to knock this out, I forgot to take some 'before' pics.

Update: I now have Poison Ivy all over my body, and the most annoying place being my eyes. I woke up to glued, puffy eye lids and scratching everywhere. I thought I had a bit of a tolerance for Poison Ivy/Sumac, but I guess not after safari-ing through all that ****. Lovely.

Ugh! Kill me now.
