When i get takeout, there’s are sometimes leftovers that don’t get eaten. But if i go to an actual wit down place, i only take home food that i have a plan to eat. So that basically all gets eaten. ---

I find that for most food sitting overnight in the refrigerator adversely affects its taste. I rarely eat leftovers. There are a few exceptions. My wife is much more likely to get a doggy bag and then bring the leftovers to work for lunch. ---

I partially choose my restaurant orders based on what will reheat best later. ---

I find that reheating adversely affects taste. Sitting in the fridge sometimes affects texture, but rarely flavor, with the food i tend to take home. I don’t pick what i order based on what will be good the next day, but i definitely decide what I’ll take home based on what I’ll like to eat leftover. (I eat most leftovers cold, because i don’t like that reheated flavor.) ---

The place we most frequently go is our favorite (20+ years of going there) Thai place. And a Yum Neu doesn’t even need to be reheated, unless I want leftover rice! 🙂 ---

For me, gut routine has to do with making sure that I am regular. Any constipation (consequence of IBS) more than 2 days is handled with Metamucil. But I generally try to make sure that I get enough fiber in my diet. And avoid foods which trigger diarrhea. ☹ ---

I probably slept “under the stars” a half dozen times. The most memorable was in Eastern Montana at a little elevation. We arrived late, it was windy, and we decided not to put up our tent and just put the sleep bags out. I have never experienced more vivid stars. ---

At some point, when my oldest son was much younger, I made an unpleasant comment about guys who wear baseball caps backwards. That’s stuck in his head for some reason, but then, I never see him do it. ---

I selected that I haven’t worn a baseball cap. I have however, within the past year though not within the past (winter) month, worn something rather like a baseball cap but with both front and back flaps to shield from the sun. The flaps are shaped differently, so the cap does have a back and a front, but I don’t wear it backwards; I don’t know that anybody could who uses their eyes as the flap intended to be at the back would cover your eyes if you did that. I don’t consider attractiveness of faces in terms of individual features so I couldn’t answer that poll. I don’t know whether that’s related to the faceblindness; I can see the faces while I’m looking at them, but maybe I’m seeing them differently than people do who aren’t faceblind. ---

Yeah - I have a fitted running cap, but I wouldn’t call it a baseball cap. ---

I have a small, partially covered deck off my bedroom. I will sleep out there, on an air mattress in the summer. It’s on the east side so it gets bright quite early in the summer. It’s literally three steps back into my real bed where it’s a lot darker. I don’t consider it camping so no sleeping bags used out there, just a sheet on the air mattress & a sheet on me as a blanket; if I get cold during the night, again three steps to a real bed. If it’s thunderstorming & I’m on the single, I have stayed out there; but if I have the queen mattress, that gets flipped up like a Murphy bed & I go inside as that’s just wider than the roof so the edge will get wet & the moisture will creep across the sheets until I get wet. As for baseball hats, forward; the only exception is _possibly_ if I’m taking pictures. If I either have a flash/light on the hot shoe or I’m taking photos in portrait mode then the brim of the hat hits the camera so I’ll turn it around but once done it is turned back to the right way to wear it…& never, ever, _ever_ with the brim off to the side! ---

Bill to the back if wind is blowing toward me so I don’t lose the cap. Baseball caps are pretty common around here due to the conjunction of rain x hiking. ---

This house _well_ postdates air conditioning in new homes; it’s about 35 you; the neighbors who have one have two plastic chairs & a small table on theirs, though I never see them out there. ---

I’m bald and live in a sunny climate; I wear a baseball cap virtually every time I step out of the house. I have a rather large collection of them, in fact. And, as I am older than 22, I don’t wear them backwards.

I rarely wear a baseball hat, and the only occasions I wear it backwards are if I’m standing still for a while with my back to the sun and want to keep the sun off my neck. ---

My car’s a convertible. I keep an old baseball cap in the car to wear when I drive with the top down to block glare coming from up above. But since it’s winter I haven’t driven with the top down in the past month. ---
