Alaska's mountains - specifically the Brooks Range - are what I think of whenever Pratchett describes the Ramtop mountains. The scale is rather beyond comprehension - we think we can figure them out, conquer them, put our mark on them, but we can't. We pass by, and they keep on.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

I just love that for a buck its hot and fresh and the pastries are soft and fresh. Ok, now its usually closer to two bucks for coffee and a buttered roll (nom) or donut.

I never met a landscape I didn't love. I know I'm all special snowflake about them, but really, I love them all.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
Boy, it took you people long enough to make the "Vista" joke!
