Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

So I decided to switch it up and do a shorter, but more vigorous swim, since I was going later. Busted ass doing a mile ...and same speed as my mile-and-a-halfs earlier in the week. Which were still bad. I don't even know. But for the shit times, it feels like it is working right. But clearly, something has changed and I can't figure out what. I think that irks me worse than the actual slowdown.
I did pretty ok on the maps. Funnily enough, I often switched up NM, northern MX, AUS and SA desert areas when I couldn't find signs. But it was always plants and geology I am really familiar with! And I've remarked on the similarity when I've been there! (Not northern MX. I've never been to Mexico. How funny is that?)
Nails done.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Although, is it cheating if I'm using google to help me with the clues?
I don't think so.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think so.
Whew! That explains why I can't match your score.

I decided not to Google -- seems like it would be way too easy otherwise.
In other news, FUCK. We have fleas. How do we have fleas? Our cats are both strictly indoor-only. Guess I know what we're doing this weekend. Except that I also have a big freelance project to finish this weekend, that is already going to take up most of my time. Argh.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Is it sad that one of my favorite childhood memories is watching the fleas jump into a soapy bowl of water under a lamp?

I wouldn't be able to match your score without google.

I'm trying to work out the best strategies. Check 360. Pick a direction that looks like it will get you to the first signage. Examine the type of trees and work out if we're temperate or tropical. Check the dirt and the horizon. Look at the road markers/signs--are they familiar? How weird is weird (the weirder the more Russian, so far)? Language, alphabet, format of phone numbers. Style of cars. Start at the roof of the building and work down.
What else? I mean, if you don't land in downtown Boston or anything.
