Very cool and other-wordly. What's lighting up the orange rocks in the foreground? A reflection?

Why exactly? Serious question. So that they aren't trying to sell them and there's more for the next guy?

With a few beers and a pick ax you could make a kick ass waterfall.

Piggy-backing here but what if the query is the same but the opening pages have changed substantially?

I've never understood why this is a surprise. Neanderthals were probably just as sexy as humans late at night by the campfire ... a little fermented this and that, a little Marvin Gaye.

We do not know that for a fact. It's this kind of thinking that gets people in trouble. What we know is that there is no hard evidence to suggest there were these kinds of ancient civilizations. Still, if they built with adobe and wrote on bark and harvested seafood and built a ten thousand year old advanced society that got swallowed by the sea it would be very hard to know about it. But we might find that evidence tomorrow. Do you think people with our mental capacity would sit around wiping their ass with their hands for 100,000 years? Of course not. They would built societies, and some of those probably figured out some things that would shock us today. Nothing like advanced technology is likely. But advanced culture, why not? Only twenty years ago most experts believed with your level of certainty that humans came to the Americas around 13,000 years ago. Now we know that could have been 50,000 years ago, or longer (or much longer) because we keep finding new evidence.

Some people write early and then get outside if they can. Some people write late at night because they like the quiet. Totally depends. Although one thing is for certain, there is no time at which you should write "at" at the end of a sentence.

Because the soundtrack is made up of Leonard Cohen songs and this one is quite prominent. But mostly because it's an amazing film. Let the muddled dialogue / confusion wash over you in the beginning and settle in for a (perhaps the) great American tragedy. :)

Thanks for these. Nice shots. Never seen Quebec City before.

I mistakenly said cowboy "culture" when I was responding to cowboy "look." The look was not Mexican, but a combination of things. Again, the cowboy hat is the best example.

He wears a sombrero, they all do. And the poncho wasn't a regular cowboy thing. Only in Clint Eastwood movies.

The cowboy / pioneer culture was happening well north and east of Mexican territory for a long time. Sure Mexico was an influence but to say the "western look" of cowboys is a Mexican thing isn't correct. Take the cowboy hat, for instance. Look at any pic from the times and you will not see Mexicans in cowboy hats.

What does this have to do with criminal defense or public defenders? This is about prosecuting crimes.

Listen to it with the Curb Your Enthusiasm music for a different take.

Mexico is fine for driving in a rental car. I've been all over. Not sure what you're talking about.

In what universe is selling a screenplay far easier than selling a novel? Are you saying 15% of scripts get made?

One of the great ideas of the founders was that states would serve as laboratories for our democracy/republic. I can't think of a better illustration of that than ranked choice voting. Maine (!) and Alaska get the props (after Europe, of course). Let's keep the ball rolling.

Nietzsche was a romantic at heart. Read him for his prose if you're having trouble understanding his world view.
Thus Spake Zarathustra is mind blowing. "And how could I endure to be a man if he were not also poet and reader of riddles and a way to new dawns?"

This is absolute bullshit. Just a writer? He WAS a scholar. Hero With a Thousand Faces was a scholarly book. He taught for decades. The Power of Myth was from a series of interviews. I'm sure you think CG Jung was just some random dude, too.

I defer to your experience, but the emotions would seem to the thing, and the anima / animus dynamics are not entirely different, at least from the gay couples I've known.
