74. Your 2 Examples!
Fri Feb 27, 2026, 05:48 PM
Friday

When I went to our Ontario site, I'd occasionally fly into Buffalo and drive around the lake.
On Fridays to get home, I'd leave early enough to get dinner at Table On The Rock so I could sut and eat within a 100' of the horseshoe.
Then one time in Mumbai, I took a day off, went to the airport, flew to Agra, to see the Taj for a few hours.
We agree on the awesomeness of those 2, but it's sure a coincidence that you picked those 2 where I specifically went out of my to experience them in person.
