Man, your buddy had a point. I always plan the big stuff like water and a safe camp spot, but then I pencil in a few hours to just wander. Isn't that how you find the good stuff?

My cousin had a filter that wouldn't budge for weeks. She left the whole camera in a ziplock bag overnight and it twisted right off in the morning. Totally saved her from having to buy a new lens.

You mentioned the night shift. Does that mean the morning light trick still works if your "morning" is actually 4 PM? Or does the effect get weaker when it's not real morning light?

Forty five years sounds like a long time, but is it really a tradition if it's just a job? Most family businesses don't last that long anyway. I guess it's just a guy selling flowers.

Actually sounds like you turned three days into a clean pile of laundry. That's something.
