 Not to stir the pot but intellectual and achievement are very subjective terms.  When neanderthals moved into a cave I am sure it was considered very intellectual and a major achievement.  Pop-culture would be another great example.  Some see it as completely pointless,  Yet it has molded the world.  I think that would be considered intellectual and an achievement, while others would see it as a waste of energy.  Just depends on the vantage point on your path I guess.

 Then again my number one reason for traveling is usually geological  and has dick to do with people.

Exactly why I used the word can.  In the food word for instance, if someone thought that it was an achievement that a city had great places to eat that were exclusively: Applebees, TGIF, Chilis, etc. then the can would disappear.  Obviously the extrapolation works well beyond food and while someone could have the stance that those places are cultural I would consider that laughable.  Then with that person the can would be an impossibility.  No way Seth & I are that far apart.

I also love geological travel, but would point out that you can travel and enjoy culture without having dick to do with people as long as you mean the present tense.

Apparently they staged a "White Lives Matter" protest in Houston in front of a chapter of the NAACP. Did not realize Black Lives Matter was connected to the NAACP?

While that is true.  The Note is $100 more than the Apple Iphone 6+ and includes a 256gb card in that.  Seems in line since it is 10x the phone.

JL returns to the big ugly

Not instantly, but the brackets are in the mail which is the last piece I need for the install.

Well I now own a note 7 as of this afternoon, seems pretty nice.  I am coming from a rugged phone though,  so jumping to a top tier unit is a big step.

Clear it out.  Then come here and list my pile of why the fuck do I still own that??

Shits been going down at work recently. Tons of new cuts in product development. Rumor is if you not laid off by the 2nd week of September you're probably fine but its still not looking good for me. One of a few contract guys still working in my area. Time to start looking elsewhere me thinks.

I need to do that badly.

Me too, I am a pack rat when it comes to saving stuff.

[///M5 2,833]

Hell my mom saved ALL my toys from when I was little....and the boxes they came in.  My kids were spoiled from day 1.

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

I come from a long line of pack rats, so I use the 2 year rule. if I haven't touched it in 2 years, it's gone. 

My dad has a line of semi trailers for storage, plus several large buildings. Funny thing is he will go buy something new, that he already has. Bc he can't find his stash of whatever it is.

I just went through my closet yesterday and used the same rule with one exception.  There were some clothes I hadn't seen in 2 years and didn't know that i had that I like better than what I was wearing.  Ugh, organization.

2 year rule will never work in teh garage.

I'm pretty confident that I can find more work in NVH. We'll see how it goes.
