You need to download copies of them and then upload them into an album, then you can set the album to be viewable by the public or not.
I should really do the same thing, but all the pictures other people have of me are so dated, or they look like I’m doing something vulgar. There’s one of me fishing for a lighter in my pocket while drinking a beer and camping that just looks so wrong. :P
Sounds like something worth seeing. Sorry about disappearing, I had to go set that TV up for my father, which meant I had to move a bunch of furniture for him, which meant I got to take apart and reassemble a reclining sofa… bunch of easy enough but time consuming enough odd jobs.
On the other hand, now he has a den and he and ma will stop butting heads over her ebay mess.
I was raised Catholic and Texas is full of heathen southern baptists. No concept of history, telling me my church added things to the bible and all that. Dogmatic differences aside, the Catholics removed books from the bible and the heathen baptists removed more… then when they got to Texas they went way off the reservation and went from being weird to being heathen Jesus cultists.
Lazy too, after spending a year in Amarillo I know why everything is bigger in Texas. Nobody does any work or takes any responsibility.
Milwaukee has about 700,000 people, wisconsin has about 5,000,000 people, chicago has about 6,500,000… and its a filthy city. Not that Milwaukee is terribly clean, but we have a lot of green spaces and cultural festivals all summer including the worlds largest music festival. Milwaukee is pretty nice if you’re not in the hood.
Wow. It costs way more to live outside the city than in it here. Always driving so far to get to anything, nothing centrally located. You end up choosing between boutiques and WalMart, and I actually care about quality so I can’t buy hardly anything at the Walmart.
Milwaukee’s nowhere near the size of London though. I liked living in Chicago too, but I lived way out in the burbs. Couldn’t stand Amarillo. Lazy cultists all over the place trash talking my religion (fist shake at the lazy texans).
2 inches? We get at least an inch of just lake effect snow every day. If it actually snows we’ll get 10 or 12 inches a day for as long as it snows. If we shut things down every time it snowed, this whole state would be closed from december to march.
Yeah, snow doesn’t stop life around here except for the kiddies. Don’t know how it happened but we have an entire generation here now that is afraid to drive in the snow. We usually have plows out as soon as the snow starts and they don’t stop until the roads are cleared and the snow has stopped.
You get out in the countryside and everybody has a bobcat or something to get on once the snow’s too deep for a 4×4, that or they have plows of their own.
I’ve only seen snow that bad twice, both times after blizzards back in the 90s. Nowadays when we get snow that deep they haul it off in dump trucks and dump it in the coal yard by the port and other out of the way places. We’re starting to expect snow any day. Its either going to be awesome or miserable depending on how wet the snow is.
Most places that provide accommodations are open over every holiday here. If the town has public transit it will run at least part of the day on holidays but might stop early.
Lake effect snow is brutal. Its big, heavy, wet flakes that we get every night as the air cools and it pulls moisture off of lake michigan and superior. Most of the state will get a good 6 feet of snow every year, the counties along the lakes will get more like 10 to 12, one on superior had over 20 a few years back.
I remember times when the snow has had to be plowed to the middle of the roads and tunnels cut through it to allow intersections and crosswalks.
Our weather is like that in our good seasons here. Once you hit winter there’s no short weather. If it starts snowing its going to snow for days unless its lake effect snow, we get that every day. Same thing with rains in the summer. Days straight without a break of more than an hour, sometimes no breaks.
That’s not to say I wouldn’t rather live in the 3rd ward or Bayview or something, but I can live at 30th & wells or 90th & capitol and feel just gravy.
Oh but the hood is fascinating. I don’t make a good target for random crime and I love the people and the activity. Always somewhere to go, something to do, and someone that feels like doing whatever. I thrive on interaction.
Yeah I’ve been to Clinton, sold some vacuums there. Its not that great of a town. Then again I love the city and can’t wait to be reestablished in Milwaukee, even if I have to live in the hood.
Yeah, we actually have quite a few areas around here that its illegal to hitch or pick up a hitcher because of all the prisons. SE wisconsin is basically all hills and swamps, makes it good prison territory once you get away from Milwaukee.
I wouldn’t hitchhike anywhere in the states. No matter where you are there are a lot of places that people can just disappear. Most of America is still wide open spaces between civilization, and we have enough podunk roads crisscrossing all that empty space with enough vacant lots and undeveloped areas to make even Hartland a foolish place to hitch.
Hitchhiking is bad news in the states. Its about as unsafe a way to travel as there is, especially in the desert. We do have an awful lot of depraved people around the countryside, and anywhere as remote and deadly as the southwest’s deserts is a dangerous place for any solo traveller, let alone a hitchhiker.
I’m not sure how close the greyhound gets you to the grand canyon, or where the cheap lodging is around there. It will of course have camping, most likely cabins (but those will cost a fortune). Nearby town prolly has some roach or seedy motels that are usually cheap enough, but I don’t know what sort of public transit is around there.
That would have been they greyhound bus to whatever city transit they have. Around the Grand Canyon that might be taxi and hotel shuttles.
Usually a greyhound will only go to the next major city or so in a single circuit and then you get a layover.
If I were going city to city I’d just take the bus to the next public transit. If I were headed out camping (which is freaking awesome in winter, and where I live it gets cold and a lot of snow) I’d have someone pick me up.
That depends on where you’re trying to go. There are hostels for sure in the New York area and the Barbary Coast, and any area with a major backpacking trail like the Apalatian (sp?) trail from Maine to Georgia.
Its a lot tougher to find a cheap place to stay in much of the midwest without staying deep in the hood or going camping. Best bet to find a civilized place on the cheap in the midwest is craigslist.
