Reminds me of my landlord raising rent and suddenly fixing everything, weird how that works.

The thing nobody talks about is how cold makes the plastic stiff and brittle. That first night in the Rockies probably dropped below freezing, and those thin pillow shells are not made for that. My fix has been a dry bag half filled with air and wrapped in whatever shirt I wore that day, weighs nothing extra since I already carry both.

My uncle dropped a joke at a BBQ in Ohio about how my sunbeams only look parallel because of the camera lens, and I spent the whole weekend rechecking photos. That one random line made me toss out half my notes.
