Charlie thinks that my yearly list has become a product review list.
I really really really wanted to like Field Notes, but it just doesn’t work into my lifestyle.
Time to head back to my trusty Wexford.
Turns out the Wexford fits perfectly into the Midori Passport sized Travelers Notebook cover, which adds class to a $0.89 notebook.
Maybe my list is turning into a product reviews list...
I would give a Midori coupled with a Wexford notebook…. 5 stars.

A maple tree that is open grown is capable of producing half a gallon of processed maple syrup in one season, which equates to about 15-20 gallons of sap.

Turns out Auto-wipers are much more adamant about keeping the windshield clean than I am.
Auto-High-beams are result in you flashing a lot of oncoming cars.
Both features are not nearly as cool as I originally thought they would be.
Apple Car Play built into the standard OEM radio head? That is just as cool as thought it would be.
People who live above 10,000 ft in elevation need to buy special hard drives because the spinning disks require a certain air density to cushion the magnetic head that reads the disk. Without that required air density, the disks will scratch and the hard drive will be damaged!
My current Rubik’s record is 1:37.04.
Turns out all newly produced hard drives are pressure sealed with helium, so the need to purchase special high altitude hard drives doesn’t actually exist anymore.
Making “destination videos” for our lobby is a very satisfying and addicting task.

Jack Black’s mother was a woman named Judith Love Cohen, who helped develop the Abort-Guidance System which rescued the Apollo 13 astronauts. She went into work the morning she was in labor, took a printout of a problem she was working on with her to the hospital, and called her boss with the completed problem before giving birth to Jack Black.
I would give The Anthroposcene Reviewed book… 5 stars.
I had a flight that left so early that the 24 hour McDonalds had not yet transitioned to their breakfast menu... so I ordered a quarter pounder with cheese (no onions or pickles) at 3:15am. That was not a good start to the day.
Due to the great US Rental Car shortage, I was upgraded to a BMW 330i for the cost of nissan beep-beep. That car tried to actively kill me twice in a 48 hour period.

It’s been almost 40 years since the miracle landing of Tans American flight 209 in Chicago, IL. After the Boeing 707’s takeoff from LAX, Captain Clarence Ovuer and First Officer Roger Murdock became incapacitated from acute food poisoning. After flight attendant Elaine Dickson stabilized the aircraft and activated the autopilot, passenger and ex-flightier pilot Ted Stryker was summoned to take command of the aircraft. With the guidance from Chicago ATC specialist Steve McCoskey and Stryker’s former commanding officer Rex Krammer, TA209 landed safely with no fatalities. Legend says Otto is still flying to this day.
