Astrosoup Dumpling

Finally back after a 4 hour scooter drive from Smangus. Man, that place is so remote.
It also got hit really really hard by the typhoon rain I think. So many really old trees were completely washed out. This clearing used to be forested from what I remember. The oldest ones are still there though.

Magaw sausage and millet donut is the lunch of champions before a pretty grueling stretch of road before Smangus.

Anyway, it's time for bed, y'all. Gonna wake up early, catch some baseball, then drive 4 hours into the mountains and camp at the most remote indigenous community in Taiwan to see a 2500 year old tree and its friends.

I should be in bed already, but I'm debating over whether I should bring #Kodak #500T or #HarmonPhoenixII200 with me on a camping trip to Smangus tomorrow.

As I was typing this, I remembered that I'm going to also be lightsheeting for moths, and I want that 500T.

Omg. Kerkering absolutely had a brain spasm. That's the dumbest way to lose a game I've ever seen in a playoff game. That's gonna haunt him forever.

Yeah I took this pic earlier in the game thinking that they looked like those new Meta Ray-Ban glasses lol. They're so thick.

I mean, good? Maybe? #Astros

Kershaw just keeps coming out to a new horror every postseason. He loves spooky season.

Might be a bit late, but if you can get Xofluza, it'll stop the flu in its tracks. That stuff rules and it's a single dose. 24 hours and my partner was like at 85% better. It stopped me from getting full on flu when I took it.
Feel better!

Tell Me Why?

SMANGUS GIANT TREES (司馬庫斯巨木步道) This trail in Hsinchu’s hilly Jianshi District has been voted one of the best trails in Taiwan by users of the popular Hiking Biji app, and for good reason. This moderately easy trail combine…

Heading up to Smangus this weekend. I went once back in 2017.

I'm stoked to go again because I've got: -a new (to me) Zuiko f3.5 macro lens for my Olympus

-a brand new tent that is a 3p palace for 2p

-AND I'm gonna get to wear pants and a jacket. (can summer go away please?)

2. I like the flow of the plants and the deeper blue of the cyanotype.

If they had an Astros hat in traditional Chinese (the form used in Taiwan), I'd buy it in a heartbeat - as long as there was a low-profile version.

Lol what was Rojas thinking? He's lucky he beat Turner to the bag and didn't get injured.

Wilding intensifies.

Oh boy. Tie game in the 8th. Wild.

My goodness, Blue Jays. Absolutely incredible.

Oh no. Mariners fans are doing the shoe on the head thing again.

Kerry Carpenter destroyed that pitch.

Holy Teoscar. Playoff baseball is wild.

Kike Hernandez lol. That dude again.

I'm pretty sure this is a spotted dove!

There's no baseball today.

Holy Schlit, McMahon.

My entire body hurts just seeing him go over the rails to make that catch.

Wild stuff.

Man, gotta hand it to him. Cam Schlittler is pitching a gem.

A little traditional in the modernity.

That error by Teoscar was a brutal mistake. 2 runs for the Reds on what should've been the end of the inning. Yeesh
