I'll make up for it since I'm usually 3x/day.

I am now picturing someone flying a plane in the form of window blinds.

Work for my retirement because you forgot that :P

I would travel a bit and concentrate more on farming. I do enjoy my software engineering job and was writing code as a hobby long before it paid the bills so I'd want to keep up something like that.

It's almost as though they label all rooms so people know what they are and don't go in the wrong one.

In the rare occasion I wear something to bed, I've never done this. If I've done it in my sleep, I don't recall waking up that way or anyone ever commenting on it. My wife will sometimes sit with her hand in her pants on the sofa, kinda like Al Bundy.

There are still a fair number in Japan. My hunch is that it also helps with disaster planning since cell towers will only have so many hours of battery/generator power. After hurricane Ike hit Houston, we lost cell service for a while, at least where I was, as the towers lost generator/battery and power. Those who had landlines could often still communicate (but it depended upon where, of course, since some phone lines were taken out as well).

As a kid, I used to dip pretzel sticks in applesauce. Just another sweet+salty combo, I suppose.

I do this. All the umami.

Basically every tunnel and such here has an AM station to tune into for traffic/weather conditions (weather can be wildly different at the end of some longer tunnels, especially the ones that gain elevation or open to a bridge over a valley).

I remember liking the smell of diesel exhaust as a kid but now, at least here in Japan which may have different emissions, it makes me feel like I can't breathe.

Petrichor is fantastic as is the smell of the ocean. Cow manure is super nostalgic to me. I was driving my motorcycle to do some paperwork in the city and smelled them putting it on the fields. An ocean away, but still felt like my childhood home.

Cilantro/coriander leaf (and whatever thing in my property smells oddly like it when I cut grass/weeds) is like bug spray to me. Can't stand the smell. A tiny bit in something doesn't put me off, but it quickly gets unbearable and chemically to me.

I used to do this all the time. Since I stopped, they don't pop so easily anymore
