Flying home from Australia

No place like home.

Sage wisdom

Writing this from our final morning in Alex Head, Australia.

In an hour, we drive our rental car south to Brizzy to catch our flight to San Francisco. (and then from SFO to MCO)

We are leaving five hours before our flight to accommodate all logistics as well as an ample buffer for the unforeseen.

Note: Intentionally no photos nor videos today.

Is it on the test?

Our time on this spinning pebble.

There’s a lot humans can worry about. There’s a lot that doesn’t matter.

Is it on the test?

Who’s to know?

Easy for anyone to ask about what’s on a test. Otherwise, how would one prepare?

What do you think about a topic like this?

Why do you think about it that way?

Bonus: What matters and what doesn’t matter almost always look the same.

Mental workarounds

Olympic trials schedule
Figured out how to watch this in Australia. Ridiculously simple solution.

Solutions are predominantly simple, yet elusive because of their simplicity.

As a last resort yesterday, i wondered if reverting back to ATT would allow me to view American cable networks.

What i was up against was that nothing that worked in USA was working in Australia.

As soon as i muted Telstra (Australia’s main cellular provider), and switched back to ‘normal’ (ATT), Peacock Network instantly became functional.

ATT costs $10 per day for the International Plan. i was trying to avoid it. And as such, never even tried.

For eight more nights in Australia at $10 per day, it’s like getting USA Olympic trials for $80 total. In hindsight, a complete bargain versus not being able to watch.

Trade a skyscraper

We can see this lighthouse from our balcony. Photo: From our downtown Mooloolaba restaurant table.

Big sky country appeals to me radically better than big city lights.

Trade a skyscraper for a silo.
