When reading hard news from an outlet that actually hires journalists I consider that to be the source.

When reading opinion I definitely do a bit more digging, keeping an eye out for half truths. I wouldn't consider this to be journalism

A few of them used to call me Dad. I'm twenty years older and I would organize overnight canoe/kayak trips for us. Having the most experience, I would more or less take charge. Hence the nickname

When I drink water I like to liven it up with a splash of ice.

Back in the day our AM stations had local programming. Mostly call in talk shows that covered issues both local and far. The hosts would describe themselves as conservative but they were way more tame than the shit today. Then Rush Limbaugh went national.

The ultralight stuff is a whole new set of gear I've considered buying but don't know if I'll use it enough to be worth it. My old school ass carries about 50lbs on a weekend trip though it drops fast as I eat up the food and drink the beer. I managed this for decades while my body weight was about 130lbs. Now I'm at 170 with plantar fasciitis, mild arthritis and possibly Covid lingering effects.

Why do you GAF what anybody here says? Sounds like you've been given a great opportunity. If it improves your life go for it. Let your conscience be your guide

Interesting if only because this suspect being touted on social media as being the shooter is giving off Uni-bubba vibes

When I was younger I swore I'd never change and stay true to myself. Easy enough but everything and everyone around me changed and I found myself shaking my fist at the clouds saying how everything was better when I was young. Then I realized I had turned into my old man.

Fishing. 5 bucks here and there, it adds up. Even more so, fly fishing. I have some many materials

Opposite with me. I've got 25+ years of hiking in, never been a gearhead. That shit's expensive. I buy one and make it work until it don't work no more

As a guy who rented out one house for a very fair price i can tell you I'm the devil.
