- Went for a small hike to an abandoned campground near Lake Castaic. The lake is full thanks to the decent rainy season earlier this year. Here are a couple of pictures from the hike.

- I sometimes forget how flaky some people can be. I'm done trying to plan massive things with some of these people. It's just easier to do it by myself.
I'm debating if I want to be petty and opt out of the next thing that this friend tries to plan or not, just because they chose to flake. I shouldn't do that though, but the idea of it sounds nice at this time.- Share

- Thank you! 😊 I think I'll like it even better with the holidays coming up, since I'll get to use the camera more.

- Laura always writes nice reviews. The V20 one was very similar to her X Pure one.
Geez, I've been here long enough to see Laura through 2 full phone cycles (920, X Pure) and her own fan thread...I feel ancient...- Share

- Thanks, MIA. 😊 You're not as ancient as me. I got started on CrackBerry with a BlackBerry Bold 9000(which wasn't my first smartphone, just my first on forums).

- That's correct as well. The ones prior to those whilst I was a forum member were the BlackBerry Bold 9000 and BlackBerry Bold 9700.

- I used to read Crackberry forums during my 9550 days. I wanted a Bold 9000 really bad but went to the 9700 instead. I remember the uproar the 9700 caused...

- Once 99 jogged my memory, I believe it was you and Bigpaddy who sported red 920s. I had a white one (which I sent to my dad; ended up with a blue one way later I shipped to my friend's dad). I think Rue's was black.

Also Google Translate is very helpful.
When you decide to travel to the UK (I'm being positive here because I think you should and will), definitely go to France. Sure, go to Paris, but I highly recommend getting out to a smaller town. There's also the Loire Valley. :)
In France you typically need to know three words for a person visiting, hello, goodbye and thank you. French people are big on politeness and if go into a shop or cafe and the staff say hello, reply back and you'll have a good experience.
There are three ways of saying hello in French so it's best to go with whatever the person says to you and you reply back the same.
Also, you know a lot more French than you think. There are a lot of French words in the English language (some people may think this is the other way around). The Normans (French) invaded England and left their legacy.
The other key words to know is - boulangerie (bakery), patissiere (pastry shop) and boucher (butcher). This is still the norm in France though there are large grocery stores as well.
What I've found with travelling, in general, as tourist, show some respect for where you are and you'll have a great time, even in those places that people report on being 'rude', which gets said a lot about Paris. 90% of the time, the person complaining is the problem and all it takes is a little politeness on their part to make things easier for themselves and the person they're dealing with.
As I always see it, you're a person visiting another country, probably unfamiliar with norms of the country. You should not assume anything, even if you are paying certain amounts of money or whatever.
I do know some French having grown up in Canada and taken French lessons when younger, it is rusty and it does help but even my wife picks up things as quickly. The best way to learn though is to be there. Which is why we haven't bothered with French lessons here.
It will be interesting though.- Share

- fatclue_98Retired ModeratorI'm so happy to be back at work. Sitting at our barstools this morning at 6AM with my boss and 2 of my PMs enjoying our "cafecitos" when the news flash hits the screen. Hurricane Irma is now a Cat 5 with 175 mph winds and South Flori-Duh is well within the "cone". My house has accordion shutters so my storm prep is about 10 minutes including bringing in the bikes and the grill from the rear patio. But we have 15 projects with paranoid GCs that apparently have never been through a storm and they're hysterical. I'm gonna be busy the next few days. Lord help the congregation and pass the whiskey.
