The brightness must be really low on that. I've seen TVs that looked dim in the showroom at full brightness and you would need darkness to enjoy them, if at all.

My great big juniper, and the space beneath.

WA is on my short list of places I'd like to live in the US. ME is #1, and I'm very used to the east coast, but everything I see of WA looks fantastic.

My partner and I are looking for places to have our wedding ceremony, the wish list was to have a place on the water, surrounded by trees, with a mountain view. I think we just found a state park that will fit the bill that has a rentable shelter with kitchen, and on the right day you can see Mount Rainier from there. Closed for the winter, so we're going to check it out in April.

I know I'm being a dick, so apologies in advance.

You could always have it a cave - if you were wondering wanted what the diametric opposite of what you described was. Not that you would of course. It's my special (as in short bus) super power.

She has to dress as [Flintstones] Wilma. Could be a deal breaker though.

We could always go to the Ape Caves. And why not dress like we're in Zion (from the Matrix)?

Big fan of outdoor weddings. My wife and i got married in a covered bridge at a state park nearby. Was nice and calm, we had the reception in a nearby pavilion.
One thing to check out would be to see if there are any summer camps you can rent out of season. Here the girls scouts and the ymca have camp buildings you can rent for functions.

I just pulled out a piece of rye bread that "expired" last September to make toast. It's absolutely fine. Might not make the best untoasted sandwich, but it's doable. The preservatives they use now are remarkable. I usually get "artisan" bread from aldi, and it lasts just about a week. No preservatives at all, and it gets moldy fast. Not sure what to think of this. Bread that keeps for months is just weird.

I've had sourdough that persisted for a surprisingly long time without molding. Some bread types seem to be more mold-resistant than others.

Something changed with rye bread. It isn't as good as the bread I grew up with. I don't know exactly where the blame goes, but the old rye used to mold in the expected time period; maybe two weeks. The newer rye, aside from way fewer bakers making it, has a different texture; almost spongy, and the flavor isn't as good. My September loaf isn't an anomaly either. That's one reason it lasted so long. Aside from not enjoying it as much as I used to, I left it in the bag in preference of bread that spoils faster, and just didn't get to finishing it in a timely manner.

FWIW, the brand is Pepperidge Farms. They were never my favorite brand, but there aren't many choices for rye anymore. Most bread comes from a couple bakeries anyway. They just stick it in a different bag. I could buy store made rye from Wegmans, but if I'm there, I'd rather have their organic rosemary sourdough bread. Holy shit that stuff's good. I end up eating most of the loaf just sitting at the computer.

We should take a day from January and one from March and give them both to February. Making all three 30 days wouldn't change the seasons much.

And think of the business it would generate changing all the printed and software calendars.
