inI finally figured out why my pork chops were always dry - it was the bone placement
Gotta wonder if the bone placement also changes how fast the meat cooks near the center, that might be why they used to come out overcooked on the inside too.

inMy cousin swore by the PCT's water report and it saved me from a dry camp near Kennedy Meadows
Yeah @mark611 I get the logic but I've actually had the opposite happen where a water report said a source was dry and it turned out to be flowing fine, just tucked behind some rocks. The problem is reports can be wrong too if someone missed the trail spur or the flow changed overnight.

inOld timer at the shop taught me something about feel...
Hell yeah. That reminds me of the old cook I worked for years ago. He'd tap a steak with his knuckle and say "listen to it, don't look at it.

inHit 200 writing prompts in my notebook before I realized something
That hoarding feeling is real, man. 200 prompts is a lot to sit with, and honestly it sounds more like a safety net than a launchpad at this point. Maybe it's just me but I find the best stuff happens when I flip to a random page and force myself to write a bad first paragraph with whatever prompt my finger lands on. The worst that happens is you waste ten minutes, but you might stumble into something that actually sticks.

inI found out CMBS delinquencies hit 7% last week and I had no idea
Drove past a downtown office tower in my city last week. 70% empty parking lot at 11am on a Tuesday. Same building had a Starbucks close inside it a month ago. You see this stuff everywhere now if you pay attention. Not just the big cities either. Small towns have strip malls with three units vacant and a fourth hanging on as a vape shop. The 7% number is just the official scorecard for a game that's been over for a while in real life.
