My graduating year of high school, myself and some friends took a road trip down to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. I still can't put my finger on the exact reason I find them so intriguing, but that is where my collection started.

Despite geographic distances, I'm fairly close to my family. AJ is doing mountaineering in the Pacific Northwest and my sister does various IT consulting work out of New York City. I'll give them heads up whenever I'm flying through so we can usually meet for lunch or dinner. We also try to get the entire family together for July 4th.
I consider friends more in circles than a ranked list. That said, I'll list them out as best I can.
Chase, Mikal, Deric, The Bunker (Nevon, Zack), Morgan.

Yesterday, while watching a streamer, I learned something cool about the Eiffel Tower. The 72 names engraved on the Eiffel Tower belong to French scientists, engineers, and mathematicians who supported the building process. These golden letters are located on the first level (the lowest platform) of the tower, just beneath the balcony that runs around the structure.
Other things I learned about it: The stairs only go up to the 2nd floor. After that you have to take an elevator. The original spiral staircase was sold for scrap.
