Lego is rad. I had surgery a while back and bought the big Tower of Orhanc set and built that while watching all the Lord of the Rings movies while recovering.

The modulars are cool, but they're expensive as hell, and you can't have just one so they end up taking a lot of room. They also have a couple from Ninjago which are cool as hell, they're like Neo-Tokyo themed.

My buddy just got a new 75" Sony. It's insanely good looking. I recommend that everyone with a standard HD TV or older upgrade to some form of 4k with HDR as soon as they can. It'll blow your mind.

StL's Mexican is mediocre, but there are a couple of decent spots. Their balkan is out of this world after picking up the yugoslav breakup diaspora in the 90's. Fortunately it still has some really good Italian too.

There's a pretty good taco place in Soulard, I forget the name of it though.

Well, except Ghostbusters was a truly terrible, unfunny film, and Captain Marvel is a good movie that internet nerds are freaking out over because it dares have a message that's empowering to women.

Personally I'd say it's worth seeing once or twice, and is in the upper middle of the pack when it comes to the Marvel movies. Not close to Winter Soldier or Ragnarok, but certainly no Dark World. Neck and neck with Ant-Man and the Wasp.

whats the max run distance allowed?

LOL you think that exists.

Let me tell you about when word came down from higher that to reduce cold weather injuries, running outdoors in the Alaskan winter would be limited to 4 miles. Strange how long 4 miles can be sometimes. Also it was mandatory to wear yak-traks at all times outdoors, which means that at least twice a week you'll be running 4+ miles on ice, in temperatures approaching -20°f with basically cleats on.

Finally watching Game of Thrones. I’m on episode 3 of season 2. Well produced show so far. Want to punch Joffrey.

I started re-watching it over the weekend, because I figure the new season will have started around when I can finish. The first few seasons are still really good. If you hate Joffrey now, just wait until later.

North Carolina allergies can eat my rear end. Haven’t sneezed this much since I left CA three years ago.

I remember being out at Camp Mackall around this time of year and seeing clouds of pollen come off the trees when the wind blew that made it look like the trees were burning. It was horrifying.

There’s a White Castle in Las Vegas.

I'd have loved to go there when I was shuttling people from Fort Irwin to the Vegas Airport, but the only place people would want to go was In and Out. I never want to have that again. And because we were in uniform, tourists would constantly bother us to thank us for our service.
