Here to keep informed about the state of the world, but as the world is terrible right now, I'm mostly up for whatever amusing shit comes my way.

My wife complained that Someone You Loved was a depressing choice for the 2nd bit of backing music to our local firework display.
Then the 3rd and final bit of music came on. You know what it was....

I can't recommend eastern Turkey enough. Amzimg history in the SE and the road down the E edge from Kars > Dogubeyazit > Van is out of this world; steppe, desert, volcanos, mountains, big-ass soda lake. You just need to hit a gap in the war with PKK, although I think there's a ceasefire at the mo.

I did the same with Syria via Turkey in 2010. Except it was Syria in 2010, so ended up staying in SE Turkey.

Lol. I seem to remember my main problem was that there was no towel in my hotel.
Interesting that you did Chichen Itza then Tikal. I'd already spent 2 solid days in the jungly ruins around Xpujil by the time I got to Chich, so I was a bit ruined out and dont really remember much about it.

Oh I'm disapointed. I've done the full Cancun > Tulum > Campeche > Merida > Cancun loop. I was hoping they'd be going to Palenque or something which would have sent different teams along both halves of the loop.
I'll have to settle for Chetumal. I wonder if anyone is staying in the Hotel Ucum.

This morning I went to dig a hole in the garden to plant a selection of tastful spring bulbs. As my trowel touched the soil, an agonised shriek echoed up from the very bones of earth itself, and the garden was literally flooded with metaphorical blood. Will this affect my daffodils?
