RE: The speedway awakens: building a backyard mountain bike course
Phenomenal cinema. Glad to see the squirrel, diddleheads, and other accouterments made it to the A-reel. @gourmetcellist wanted a fixing of the bridge? Maybe I should have let him get away with the Univega

RE: Deranged Photography Contest - Low Key Theme Winners and New Theme Announcement
Ah yes, it was I who shot and edited the photo but my brother helped me upload it here! I would like to enter it as "my own" to make this a valid entry.

RE: Hundred future years of physics at CERN [about my work]
Those are all phenomenal points! I mostly asked to get your take on it, as I agree that no cost-benefit analysis will capture the positive outcomes of these two projects. Thanks for sharing and may leptons

RE: Swimming in paradise
Nicely done with the exposure! Did you superimpose 2 images or were the people not moving too much when you took the shot? I saw the photo and immediately recognized it to be Southeast Asia - I did a flip

RE: A Root must Touch Soil to Grow
That is true. All good things take time. Are you still there? Actually, we had to leave several months back. I wrote a post about it here.

RE: A Root must Touch Soil to Grow
That's a great observation. I had the same issue. For my case, I consciously decided to teach to the upper-middle level students to maximize the utility of the class. Hard to do a side-by-side test, but

RE: Sharing Families
Cheers! Liberia (really most of lower West Africa) is lush and green year-round, with a rainy season and a dry season. It's a special place, much different than any other I've been too. If you ever get

RE: Sharing Families
We are both fortunate to have such varied experiences! I wonder that too; an immunity passport sounds useful but only if reinfection or reactivation is negligible. Non-essential international airline travel?

RE: A Root must Touch Soil to Grow
Thanks! Part of me wishes I could be there right now, if you see my most recent post you will learn how the next month unfolded. It appears that the WASSCE is indefinitely Suspended as of March 22nd, 2020.

RE: To the west we Wander
And thank you for noticing @photrun! I see you visited the Azores last year. My brother @dhimmel and I visited last August and had a similarly wonderful time.

I would like to see the mines of gold. But as @jhimmel knows, when we visited I fell ill with traveler's gut. Your legs may have carried you up Bo mountain, but your gut would have kept you there. Amazing
