"The View" at Monument Valley. Next time (if there is a next time), we'd stay at Goulding's.
The worst thing I noticed there was in the gift shop (of course). Guests get 10% off, but even the Tony Hilllerman books are marked up 20% -- there's a $12 sticker pasted over the $10 cover price. Over at Goulding's (five miles away) you pay cover price.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

I have very low standards; that's why I live there. 
When are you arriving/leaving? Where are you staying?
Will Rogers never met me.

Driving over after work today. Staying at the Cholera D'Obelle. Driving back on Monday. No plans other than the concert Sunday night. Might go looking for petroglyphs on Saturday. I think I still have your number, ends in 6192, yes?

Yep - same number. Not sure what the plans are this weekend, but we'll try to get together...

Look at some of them.

My 11 year old was addicted when he was younger.
Not sure what that says about them ...

My twelve-year-old watches that stuff. It's like some sort of mind-altering drug.

One has to wonder what TomSka is smoking to come up with some of those things...
e.g. The 'Mine Turtle'. Seriously?

There appears to be some serious disruption in the UK.
ebay.co.uk has been offline since 20:55. Various web monitoring sites confirm this.
theregister.co.uk was also playing up.
Don't know if akamai is having problems again or someone else in the chain.

Perhaps this[^] is also affecting things on that side of the wet?

I did not know this:
Concatenating a null string is legal[^]
This works:
string s=null;
s+="Hello World";
Oddly (as someone in the link above points out):
int? i = null;
i+=1;
results in i==null.
Interesting stuff. Sort of rubs the fur the wrong way.
(BTW, those that replied to my best practice question, I'll get back to you soon, the responses are awesome!)

Or we could make it an option[^] 
It's an OO world.

{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}

The int? behavior is the expected one. When an int? is null, its int equivalent is 0 (int's default). Since string is a reference type (with some value semantics), you'd expect its default to be null (which is so), but for concatenation they changed it to default to String.Empty. Although it does make sense to do it that way as the most useful behavior (for most or all scenarios).

Which is why I don't understand why i+=1 != 1 in that case.

I don't know -- I would think it should throw a null reference exception. Though now that I think about it, I think other places, like in printing to the console, a null string is also handled as an empty string.

Ah, missed that. Yeah that does seem rather counter-intuitive.
