    Are you willing to trust my judgment in snacks, since I am so divergent from the rest of this thread in choice of beverages?

    Is this your sly way of not calling yourself out for being anti-coffee, @nossmf ? 🤣

    Cant you just forget maps, plans etc and go wherever the road takes you?

    Is @paperpudding vying for best road trip partner with this kind of statement? Can I call I dibs on passenger’s seat?

    Is there a corresponding "left" hotel, in case we cannot locate the "right" one?
    Do you prefer one of these synonyms?
    correct?
    accurate?
    authentic?
    real?
    true?
    proper?
    precise?
    exact?
    logical?
    legitimate?
    dead-on?
    spot-on?
    bang on?
    on-target?

    Does this comment get a prize for most question marks used in a single post?

    What about Hotel California? 🤣

    Would you really wanna go where you could never leave, @frankwbrown ?

    What is the etymology of that idiom? (Does anybody know which show/character this quote came from?)

    Do you always utilize parentheses for the sol purpose of making an inquiry to the layperson , @nossmf ? (Do you think we’re dumb for the first question?)
    Was that intentional?

    Isn’t it too late for me to correct it? Did I mention I sometimes type on a Spanish keyboard?

    Did anyone hear you call "shotgun"?
    (Can I assume everyone knows what I'm talking about?)

    isn't it annoying when the keyboard switches languages and you did not know it?

    Does it also make you mess up the l and ñ? or get the wrong accent like è instead of é?

    are these just my problems with the spanish/english keyboard?

    Does anyone think I should check out the hot springs fed pool at my hotel tonight?

    frankwbrown Posts: 14,281 Member
    Shouldn't you? I mean, who would want to skip an opportunity to enjoy a hot springs pool?

    Which question shall I answer first?

    If I recall correctly, didn't I post a couple winters back a response which included about 20 separate actual questions, not just one-word wonders?

    Is it fair to ask me about soda crashes when I only have 1-2 cans per week any more, and it's been almost a week since my last one?

    If I proudly proclaim myself anti-coffee, will this group kick me out?

    Wasn't it the summer camp's decision for us to swim in the glacier lake, rather than the teenagers ourselves?

    Isn't the water 101° 😓 but the air 48°? 🥶
    ETA: Isn't this germane information because I only have workout shorts and a tee shirt with me and I'm walking in the shallow end of the pool? While my legs are quite warm, aren't my arms freezing??
    Do you see the geyser feeding this hot springs pool?

    That does look amazing, doesn't it?
    While the temperatures aren't that extreme, doesn't the air temp vs pool temp during my water aerobics class sometimes present a challenge for my tolerance?
    Don't I sometimes wear a rash guard t-shirt to provide at least a little insulation, and don't I frequently squat down in the 4' deep pool?

    Aren't I planning on stopping in Sausalito for coffee again - on my way back from Calistoga this morning? Haven't I found a recommended Equator Coffee shop along the route?
  • frankwbrown
    frankwbrown Posts: 14,281 Member
    Could you please come back when it's warm and dry?
    Wouldn't I love to have coffee with a friend before hiking on Mount Tamalpais?

    cmsienk Posts: 20,472 Member
    Doesn't hiking Mount Tamalpais sound like a great trip? While I'm confident that I will be back in California again, aren't I less confident of the time of year, specific date and/or actual city I'll be in?

    Would you believe my first trip to Mount Tamalpais was to the Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festival at the beginning of San Francisco's "Summer of Love" (June 1967)?

    Isn't that over half a century ago now?
  • frankwbrown
    frankwbrown Posts: 14,281 Member
    Are you suggesting I'm old, or simply expressing amazement of that fact? 😂
    (Would it amaze you to learn that I turned half a century before the end of the 20th century?)

    Have you gotten used to writing 20- to start the year instead of 19- yet? 🤣
  • frankwbrown

    Doesn't my 10 minutes of practice every morning writing the current date usually suffice to ensure I have no problems the rest of the day? 🤥

    do you only practice writing the year ?
  • cmsienk
    cmsienk Posts: 20,472 Member
    Isn't it safe to assume that since only the year regularly changes, pretty much everyone should be okay with not having to practice the days or months? 🤷‍♀️

    Did you realize that the military date convention lists days-months-years, in that order? Since this often clashes with the predominant civilian method of month-day-year, doesn't this often lead to some confusion when dates include only numbers instead of letters?
  • cmsienk
    cmsienk Posts: 20,472 Member
    Isn't that only confusing before the 13th?

    So, doesn't that mean that approximately 80% of the time there's no ambiguity?

    did you realise much of the world, in civilian life as well, uses the day/month/year method?

    today in Australia is 6/3/23 - would that read as the 3rd of June to you?

    Is it illogical of me to think that the ideal order of date/time components would be year, month, day, hour, minute, second,...?

    are you saying days don't change with regularity?
