Those aren't scale models. Those are real, taken from helicopters.
There's some special technique that's used to produce that effect (making a photo look like it's a model when it's not).
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm going to have to get a list of all the delicious beers I need to try next time I'm in Boston.
You know what would be best, just come to our house. We have homebrew to boot!

You already have my coffee and tomatoes. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?
I don't know. What else don't you guys like? I'm prepared to exchange olives, mushrooms, pickles, and iced tea.

I can't say that their actions were criminal, but I would damn sure never speak to them again if I lived in that town.

Yay! I will totally hold you to that, and I should be over in April, so you only have four months to prepare.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's a lens that gives you even more control over what's in focus and what's not. Or you can cheat in post.

I think you underestimate the amount and variety of beer we have on hand at any given time.
Although, I will endeavor to step it up in these next 4 months!
My current obsession is Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale. It's SO GOOD! Maybe not as good as the Anniversary Ale, but is definitely easier to find.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Huh. I think our company has some of that artist's prints hung in one of our conference rooms.

I'm trying to just let this go and put it behind me, but I'm having some trouble getting over the fact that between them, the University of Massachusetts and my former school district essentially cost me $260 because they just couldn't mail back a damn verification form on time. This is on top of the $300 I spent in California on a test which doesn't help me in any other state.
I suppose if Massachusetts just used Praxis instead of their own special test I wouldn't be in quite such a pickle, but I'm still irritated. Seriously, is math in Virginia harder than math in Massachusetts? Oh, and I also have to take a new reading and writing test. Because sure, I may have several degrees and already passed a reading and writing test, but you never know! I could have forgotten English since then!
