Everyone wants to go back in time and beat dead people who can't hurt them anymore. No one wants to beat up their local politician or cop.
The Aurangzeb obsession has become ridiculous. Vijay wants to travel back in time to beat Aurangzeb. If they somehow made it to the 17th century, they'd probably return to the 21st century with a long list of complaints about how cruel Aurangzeb was to them.

Right as it started to snow again the sun was still barely peaking out illuminating this larch as snow flakes flew up at us from the lake. #wawx

Here is a slice from a larch tree that died beneath an advancing glacier 4,213 years b2k! 🧊🌲💍 You can buy a copy (accompanied by a dendrochronological dating certificate) here: wemakeit.com/projects/glacie… and, in doing so, help me to continue this research! 🙏

Put some lights in the wood storage area under the barn, and now it looks like an urban hipster brewery

His home is in a remote Peruvian village with a beautiful view of the Andes and he looks out at it lying on the roof and soaking up the mountain sun. He is a folk legend who tricks pumas into believing he's their spawn and rides the mountain spine on their shoulders. Life's good.
