Finished up the Lyon leg of my tour to decide where I am going to live. Lyon is an 8 out of 10. It is very much a city of distinct districts. I have picked the two neighborhoods I can live in. Next up: Toulouse.
The Pacific Island country of Nauru has changed its name to the Republic of Naoero, its President, David Adeang, said, matching the spelling and pronunciation in the national language.
The country’s international code will change from NRU to NRO and its people will be known as dei-Naoero instead of Nauruan.
I've used that word in comments on the DBD. Nonetheless, I also thought it to be possibly obscure in the bot's judgement. Couldn't come up with a better guess, so I guessed it, et voila!
while i have pretty great experiences at a bunch of ski resorts, Alta is my favorite. old school, amazing terrain accessed by only 9 lifts, skiers only, ski up espresso counter.
you can leave NYC on Thu morning, land in SLC by 1000a, get to the slopes by noon and ski half day. ski Fri, Sat, Sun and take the red eye home. pretty ideal.
stop at the Red Iguana for dinner on your way to airport

BTV > ATL > ABQ today for 2 days of work meetings in Albuquerque
looking forward to the green and red chile again.
330a wake up for a 515a flight. at least i can sleep on planes
My ABQ recommendations are the Grove and Flying Star Cafe. Neither are particular NM but they are tasty!
at SLC airport. saw an old guy w/ a Pac12 hat!
There were actually 2 guys in pac12 hats. Turns out they are referees. They used to be on the field, now managing the operation.
One guy also was a referee in the NFL, worked a few Super bowls and has been a ref for almost 50 years.
I guess that qualifies him as an old guy.

Not me—I thought sure this word was too obscure for Wordle.
I've used that word in comments on the DBD. Nonetheless, I also thought it to be possibly obscure in the bot's judgement. Couldn't come up with a better guess, so I guessed it, et voila!
I wondered for a sec but went for it.
it is not clear what is fine line between a legit word to be an answer and what is a legal word in the global vocab.

SLC
Hotbed of the Brine Shrimp industry, the Utah State Crustacean.
interesting use of the Great Salt Lake. i did not know about this until today.
i wonder if people float around in GSL for fun lke the Dead Sea
Tour de France Femmes
new yellow jersey after individual time trial. world TT champ, Marlen Reusser, takes yellow for now w/ the big mountains looming.
perhaps the biggest news is that defending champ, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, faded in TT and trails by over 2 min.
I had a Beuojolais with dinner to honor this leg. Just kidding. It was purely a coincidence.
how are things? how hot is it? find any nice towns to live in?
moderately hill stage 5 (of 9) today.

Even though my favorite Mexican is in SLC, the Red Iguana, my main reason I like going is the exceptional skiing
