After summiting Mount Whitney, my friends and I returned to the Whitney Portal Store and had beers and Cheetos. Perfect meal after days of freeze-dried meals. ---

After a hard day’s work, taking off your shoes and socks, and wiggling your toes. ---

> [@carrps](#): > > After summiting Mount Whitney, my friends and I returned to the Whitney Portal Store and had beers and Cheetos. Perfect meal after days of freeze-dried meals. In a related vein: Going for a couple nights backpack and getting back to the trailhead and the beer in the cooler. Even it it isn’t cold cold, it is still perfection. The hamburger you eat on the way home from the greasy diner in the small rural town you pass through is a close second. ---

> [@bobot](#): > > McDonald’s sausage muffin. Just the simple one. Sure, you could add to it: fried egg, American cheese, but in so doing you haven’t made it any better. Sausage patty, buttered English muffin. It’s breakfast perfection. I dunno. I had a McGriddle this morning and I’d say it was a step up. Something about the addition of syrup I suppose. ---

Playing with a kitten and earning his love and trust. A bowl of she-crab soup. ---

The album _**Apostrophe (’)**_ by Frank Zappa. Every note, IMO, is perfect. HP 3458A digital multimeter with option 0002. First introduced in 1989 by Hewlett Packard. It’s so good that it’s still made to this day, by Keysight. There’s sort of a cult following around it by metrologists.
