If you want to know more about the Geodome 4, there's a very excited writeup about it on the North Face Japan website: www.thenorthface.jp/special/Geod...

You're saying you have not also taken delivery of a Canadian 2000s era payphone for a friend, packed it into luggage, flown it to London, walked it through the streets to an old town hall and exchanged it for a rare, second hand dome tent that was only really released in Japan?

I barely remember the thing exists, let alone ponder how to plan for the very foreign feeling concept of retirement, but they calmly make sure I am reminded about the tiny things now that make a big impact later.

Trying to get here this morning was a comedy of errors, with the Zipcar I initially booked not actually being there (apparently it was left in Malibu), me catching the metro one stop to get to the next available one, and that one having a bee trapped inside (I ushered it out).

It's a good 25cm across - and it's from Bob's Donuts on Polk (they have normal donuts too and they are very good)
