1. I don’t know how I heard about Huckberry, but I bought some Rhodes boots from there and I wear them at least 3 times a week. They are terrific. At that point, I suppose that my purchasing habits resulted in YouTube telling me that they have a YouTube channel. As an aside, those boots are some of the best things I put on my feet. I am not a cowboy boots sort of guy, but these are so good, apparently made in Mexico and the craftsmanship is outstanding.
2. Anywho, they have a show called Dirt and this video alone makes me want to go visit Atlanta. The idea is that the host, Josh Rosen (not the hot-tub quarterback) goes and tries to find ingredients for a feast at the end of the episode. Obviously, it’s a food-based show, which who doesn’t love food, but it looks like a fantastic city and am jealous of the 22 miles of old track that is now bike lanes throughout Atlanta.
3. And then they went international and this travelogue on Kyushu in Japan is fantastic. Japan is on my bucket list of places to go. Without question, just everything about it looks completely different than what I know and I think that’s exactly what life is about. I also love Ramen, so it would make sense that going to Japan would be a great place to go.
And Hokkaido looks amazing. There’s a scene about 13 minutes into the video where they are on this mount skiing and it doesn’t even look real. Maybe it’s because there are no evergreen trees, but birch trees and it looks surreal.
4. Hat-tip to Semi-Rad, this is a fantastic and happy video about marathons. I think I’ve decided to apply to run in the Dallas marathon now.
5. Media Diet Check: Netflix’s The Gentleman is absolutely bonkers, totally Guy Ritchie and fantastic in every way possible . . . season 2 of Reservation Dogs definitely delivered. The whole series has come full circle, from a robbery in order to leave their homes to realizing that community and where they are from is the most important thing . . . maybe feeding my desire to visit Japan is Shogun, terrific acting and set, just a beautiful series . . .
