Jakey from Palatine, IL asks: “Max, what are you listening to?”

Max is listening to This American Life, S-Town podcast (recommended), and Josh Johnson.

JMo from Cincinnati, OH asks: “What do you eat in a day?”

Yesterday I started with two packets of oatmeal and a banana. Then I ate a full-sized Snickers Bar by 9am. A Cliff Bar by 11am, then fried chicken for lunch. Dried fruit, Sour Patch Kids, almonds, and cookies through the afternoon. Then an instant noodle, a backpacker meal and a Nutella/peanut butter taco for dessert.

Mark from Geneva, IL asks, “was that cabin new or old?”

It was built in 1880 as a residence, hotel and stage coach stop. It appeared to have been restored a bit recently.
