It could also have to do with what happened to his brother in Annapolis, I suppose. I've been pleased with the Hiaasens I've read from the past decade-ish, though Squeeze Me was definitely his angriest novel in a while.

I can't help but wonder if that rediscovery had anything to do with Tim Dorsey, who was clearly more outraged (and pretty joyful in his venting).

I have recently rediscovered Hiaasen, and he's been on a roll, lately.

Like you, I'll get back in and try again if I'm badly out-of-whack, but honestly, the people who (clearly intentionally) take up two parking spaces, or sometimes four, piss me off a good deal more than the people who end up a bit off-center in their space. (Among other things, someone who is...

That is almost certainly violently uncool. (Sometimes people park their cars in ways that practically beg to be keyed, I'm presuming that's not you.)

We still tend to buy baseball caps as our more-everyday headwear, though we mostly wear them when we're traveling these days. Mine is a souvenir from Taliesin (Frank Lloyd Wright's studio/house in Wisconsin) hers is from Wind Cave National Park.

The big floppy hats are probably a large part of how we managed to spend a week walking around Big Bend NP without getting horribly sunburned. (We also had good sunblock.)

Or use "fail/succeed by X" mechanics, if you need Extreme Success/Failure. (In a game where you're just rolling the 1 d20, at least.)

I've made it, and I don't remember it being difficult. Maybe a little slow and attention-needing. (this doesn't mean it's not worth using a pressure cooker if you have one)

Unless you have someone to sing with you, for the counterpoint stuff.

Both these things can be--and are--true.

When I'm writing something long-form, my daily hard minimum is a thousand words. I wrote the player-facing setting information for the last D&D 5e campaign I started in a day, and that was a 5400+ word thing (to be fair, mostly an expansion of a much sketchier document for newcomers to the city).

Seems like people are missing the "An' it harm none" bit.

The one I tend to reach for is "If you only ever tell the truth, you never have to remember anything." Somehow I think that's not the one you're thinking of. :LOL:

Unrelated to the above: Ignorance is no defense, you know.

REJECT THE FALSE DICHOTOMY

Best. Part of that includes knowing when to shut up.

That's a sound review. I'll say that you can leave when you want; anything after the credits start is going to be an epilogue, and it's a reasonable position not to care about those (the first one is probably worth staying for, the second might well not be).
