Good luck with that hike! Looks like a beautiful region. Any local culinary specialties?

Miss #17, one of my picks from your previous post, really is quite luscious. Does the winner of the casual-wear prize have peach fuzz above and below her navel?? Ick. Shave, woman!

So Resa is crazy and a bottom-feeding piece of shit. Prediction: she’s going to piss off the wrong guy and end up fucking dead.

Well, here’s hoping that that incident is now considered over and done with. Would hate for you to have to testify again in a more formal setting, but as you imply, there’s no knowing what a crazy bitch will do. Good luck mapping out your trail and avoiding formal testimony.

So were you the spiritual adviser? Was that the point?

Based only on the first photo of the lineup, I’d have picked the first lady on the left (#1) and the second-to-last lady on the far right (#17…?) as my two winners. But in subsequent photos, #1 didn’t look so great while Ailyn (#6, I think) looked quite yummy.

That’s right up there with SNL’s “Dick in a Box,” that is.

Big ups for bigas!
Congrats on the win.

Lucky is indeed a lucky fellow, borderline retarded though he may be.
Are those three new houses already spoken for?

Congrats on the win!
Now, in Hollywood, the saying goes that “You’re only as good as your most recent film.” Is it true, in darts, that you’re only as good as your most recent game?

Adventures in grocery shopping
In France (and in Switzerland, too), it’s common to buy “une brique de lait,” i.e., a “brick” of milk, which is to say, milk sold in a brick-shaped cardboard carton. The milk is shelf-stable because it goes through a heavy-duty pasteurization process. Perfectly safe to drink. There might be a very slight difference in taste, but I’ve found it to be negligible. Most of Europe sells milk in “bricks” like this, if I’m not mistaken. Once you open the carton, though, it’s a good idea to refrigerate the milk.

Looks to have been a good hike, with plenty of varied terrain and scenery. And 9K through the mountains is no mean feat!

A mountain in your future, eh? How have your lungs been these past few weeks? You haven’t mentioned any respiratory complaints recently, so I assume you’re doing at least somewhat better.
The Rigor Store sells rigor, which is de rigueur.
The chili looks great!

Discarded items like hats and gloves fascinate me. They always imply some sort of story.
Sorry to read about the so-so darts performance, but sometimes, you just have a bad night, I guess.

The kid at the far left of that second photo has a very impressive mustache for a five-year-old.

We have plenty of litter here in Seoul. I’ve sometimes fantasized about shaving my head, donning some robes, then going out with huge, heavy-duty garbage bags and just stuffing them full of trash.
Great pics.

Whoops. I wrote:
“The pole I actually have is the snap-lock type…”
To clarify, I currently own both kinds of trekking poles. I bought a pair of snap-lock poles from Costco back in 2017, then used one of those poles during my big walk that year. I used the other one during my big walk last year. I still have the screw-lock pole that I’d bought in Daegu (2014-ish), but I don’t use it for long walks, despite the better locking mechanism, because I need to change out that pole’s nasty plastic foot for a better rubber foot. I like the goat’s-foot design of my Costco poles, and I know there are outdoorsman stores downtown where I can buy just the feet for trekking poles. Another shopping project for me. Anyway, I saw that what I’d written was pretty vague, so I thought I’d clear that up before people got confused.

So “Grammatik macht frei” is obviously a riff on the Nazi slogan “Arbeit macht frei” (“Labor sets you free”/”Work liberates”), which was posted in wrought iron on the gates of several concentration camps. So, obviously, we’re in grammar-Nazi territory: “Grammar sets you free.” I’m guessing that whoever posted the Nazi-like pic doesn’t like grammar Nazis very much.
What kind of adjusting/locking mechanism do you have on your trekking pole? I’ve actually formed some rather strong opinions on the matter, having used a couple different kinds of trekking pole. The one I prefer is the screw-lock type, where you twist each segment of a three-segment pole until it locks in place. The pole I actually have is the snap-lock type, which I don’t like nearly as much. Snap locks don’t seem to truly lock the segments of the pole in place: when I lean on my snap-lock pole with all of my considerable weight, it collapses. Nothing like that happens with my screw-lock pole, which is an el-cheapo W5000 thing that I purchased years ago, probably in Daegu. Despite being cheap, it holds fast when I lean on it.
Given how lush and green your corner of the world is, I imagine the scenery changes almost daily, so every single walk is different. This may be why dogs are eternally curious: they “see” the world primarily through smell, and the odors, aromas, and fragrances are constantly shifting. An easily bored coworker of mine asked me why I enjoyed walking the same route to Incheon so much, so I told him the route was different every time.
You admitted to a bit of boredom in this post, but I think you’ve done a great job of observing the minutiae around you if your scenery pics are any indication.

Well, if ever there was a day to break the 5 o’clock rule, that would have been the day. Yeesh, what a clusterfuck.

I’m guessing you still haven’t had a chance to talk directly with the two crazy ladies. Alas. That would’ve been entertaining, at least for us readers. But maybe that’s for the best if you’re now planning to offer some kind of testimony. Are you prepared to answer the “Why did you wait this long to say something” question?
As for testimony: I suppose you could just say, “I wrote all about it. Here’s the link.”

Interesting to see what different countries call a “river.” I’d probably call that a creek!

Better a gassy brain than a brainy ass, I guess. Or something like that.

D’oh! “Lead” can be pronounced “led” only if you’re talking about the metal. Otherwise, the past tense of “lead” is “led.”

I’ve left all social media at this point, including Quora, so I can’t view the linked information since I no longer have a Quora account. But, yeah: classic case of projection.

Here’s to the return of normalcy. In the litigious States, if an encounter left someone with bite marks on the arm, there’d be a lawsuit.

“C’est la vie, say the old folks. It goes to show you never can tell.”
I’ll be morbidly curious to hear the aftermath if you get a chance to interview the psycho ladies once they’re sober.

Life is indeed too short to spend it torturing yourself. Good call. Günter needs to get a new catchphrase. I think you’ve related his saying that “not like the Alps” line several times. Maybe he needs to go back to the Alps, eh?

Lots of beautiful pics, as always. The PI really does have its own charm. Now if only they could turn down the heat about 15 degrees Fahrenheit and reduce humidity by 25%…

Well, congrats on the win! Bask in your victory.
