mask mandates were the purview of state and county officials

voting out the school board and putting a bunch of magtards it the epitome of cutting off your nose to spite your face

I've watched this one before

jumping in and swimming when he's becalmed is utterly insane to me

it makes my stomach knot up just thinking about it

you can see him slowly loosing his mind...the sleep deprivation has got to be brutal

this is backpacking, but without the physical push....it's mental with incredibly high stakes

well, voting makes sense
but “never forget” implies more than that
and I did think you were calling for imprisonment or something

maybe it was prcd calling for beheading or stoning or some other biblical revenge, but I thought it was you

That was an example

Obviously state and county officials are on the chopping block as well. Hence the word "everyone"

You're doing it again

Anytime I hit that blue water I get a creeped out feeling much like when i'm on the precipice of something really high. Just like i'm not supposed to be there

I SUP'd in the Bahamas and went out to the deep part. Got the most uncomfortable feeling I ever had in the ocean.

The people who go island to island in Hawaii trip me out, these solo boaters would give me a crisis. These people are very mentally strong

Are you seeing this as an issue candidates are running on?
I’m not, but our ny governor was already booted out
i haven’t heard his replacement‘s opponent talking about her mismanagement of Covid at all
I’m not hearing about it as an issue in any local politics

may e in ny, where we got hit with Covid harder, there’s less revenge being sought

It's all in preparation and ability to read weather.

Sleep deprivation is what would kill me, even before I get dismasted by the seas.

I love it. It's nothing like being out there, not seeing land for miles. It has a weird time warp feel when you sail longer distances. Just staring at the horizon.
It's addictive AF.

The Bar
Snorkeling with my parents in Honduras when I was 6 or 7. Everything was fine in shallows when it gradually went to 5 feet deep or so but then a wall and it just went bottomless. And it wasn't a clear blue either, just gradually murkier. I absolutely freaked and panic-swam straight over the reef to shore, slashed my legs all up on coral, and man, that haunted my dreams for a while.

Had a gradual foreboding snorkeling and free-diving down to 20 feet or so along Tunnels reef but that wasn't really about depths so much as sensing bad things lurking out of my vision. Probably paranoia but swimming with sea turtles 30 seconds later was far better.

Heights? Screw those. :roflmao: So many close calls that if I was a cat, I'd be schizophrenic. Not so much lately but repeatedly have had dreams where I drive off a huge cliff to sure demise. But I stick the landing clean.

The best one of those was when I was 9, sleeping on the stairwell on a boat, it lurched, I dreamt I was falling, and I did 6 feet straight down right into the galley. Smooth. Amazingly didn't get really hurt. But that's messed up when you dream you're falling and you actually land. No way in hell I could camp in those little platform tents halfway up things like El Capitan. :sick:

I think Hochul is wisely distancing herself from anything Cuomo or Covid related, purely from a campaign standpoint. I can’t imagine New York electing Zeldin, though the polls have shown a tighter than expected race coming up. He “promised not to mess with NY abortion laws” but he has been an ardent and vocal anti abortion guy for years. That’s a big deal to a lot of New Yorkers.

,as far as I know Hochul hasn’t done too much bad or good to disqualify herself from continuing to serve. She doesn’t seem to be a walking RICO case like so many of her predecessors in that office. I guess that’s something :foreheadslap: :shrug:

On the efoil it only takes a few seconds to get far into the ocean.

I don't like it.
