Motel. I've become lazy, I have done more than my share of camping.
Rainbow or sundog?
Teeth of the Sky - Myths and Monsters competition, first place
Fire and Ice - A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words competition, first place
Monster - Survivor competition, first place
Both a nice to see, but solar are more visibly exciting.
Snow mobiling or skiing
Own, if possible. It must be a nightmare for youngsters, especially in the UK, to find the quantity of money required for home ownership these days. Even with a 40-year mortgage.
Save or borrow?

especially in the UK
Trust me, not great here, either. We just had a house go for about a million Canadian on our street, where we built for around CA$300,000 in 2000.
Save, borrowing only what is necessary
Traditional television (broadcast, cable) or streaming?

Netflix
Movies or documentaries

An impossible question, but I edge toward documentaries. Only because I have a tendency to rip into plot holes and inaccuracies! I have to keep telling myself, it's fiction, it's just a movie! 🤣
Superheroes or just everyday heroes?
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana
Everyday folks doing everyday things. I am weary of superheroes.
Lazy Sunday afternoon or productive Sunday afternoon?

I like lazy but seem to end up productive, somehow.
Watch TV or listen to music?
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana
Depends on my mood. Probably TV for now. I have a lot of things crowding up my DVR.
Listening to music through earbuds/headphones or speakers?
Speakers
Golfer or Caddy?
Neither. Hate the sport with the heat of a thousands exploding suns (well, the heat of a summer day in Southern Ontario, at least). But at least the golfer is doing something besides driving the golf cart, so that I guess.
Maple syrup or table syrup (on waffles, pancakes, etc.)?

Maple syrup
Waffles or Hot Cakes?
Waffles. I like to make savory waffles as well.
Bacon or sausage?
Windows
Got to the ballet or the opera?
Opera
Art Museum or Natural History Museum
Tough one. I enjoy both, really. Natural History sounds good right now.
Join a guided tour or just wander and enjoy the exhibits?

Just wander. I was born to wander.
Hard workout at the gym or gentle walking/hiking?

Total Solar Eclipse. It's eerie, and I like eerie. 😐
Full Moon: With or without clouds?
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana
With clouds, but not totally overcast. Broken cloud coverage. More romantic.
What constitutes the best date?
Dinner and a movie or dinner and dancing?
Movie. I hate dancing and am terrible at it.
In a theater or just crash in front of the TV and stream it (or if you still do it, watch the DVD)?

I like the cinema, but there seem to be so few films that warrant the outlay and effort to get to one of the few remaining Picture Palaces.
TV: Lights on or in the dark?
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana
Lights on normally though certain movies, like black and white horror classics, do play well in the dark. Which brings us to:
Black & white or colour?

Actually finding myself wathing more of the older movies in black and white which strangely I find more enjoyable than modern movies in color.
Airplane (with all its crowding and uncertainties) or train (even if it takes more time)?
Train. We're trying to get it together and take a sleeper car to California.
Slow relaxing journey to your destination, or pedal to the metal?
