With a potty-training two year old I've actually been grappling with this topic lately. I've been undecided on exactly how crass the word "fart" really is. Because I'd rather my daughter walk around telling strangers (and mother in law) that she has to "toot" when the inevitable happens, I find myse...

Went there about a month after 9/11... The weather was outstanding, and the crowds were miniscule, though that might have had something to do with the attack. Got to see the hole in the Pentagon firsthand actually. I was very impressed with the metro system (never experienced a subway growing up in ...

How are they doing that? Are they charged an airport tax like the cabs? From the article: "Ride-hailing companies pay $2.45 anytime one of their contracted drivers picks up or drops off customers at McCarran. Taxis pay a $2 fee for each airport pick up and nothing for drop-offs." All the cars are l...

Did you hit the wave pool? Yep, but I prefer the lazy river. On a side note I accidentally left my kindle in the cab at McCarran. I did get it back though. Kind of off-topic, but one of the local news stations did a story comparing prices for taxis, Uber, and Lyft here in Vegas. The taxis were more...

Southwest has applied (I assume this sort of thing hardly ever gets denied) to begin flights to Turks and Caicos via Fort Lauderdale. Nothing scheduled yet officially... Except in my own head of course, as I envision my soon-to-be three year old skipping down Grace Bay next June. The jetblue redeye ...

When you make it to Utah, fry sauce... Freddy's offers it nationwide (I like the jalapeño variety), as does Arctic Circle for a limited number of folks, but it seems every restaurant in Utah offers their own delicious take on it. In normal life, mustard, followed by a spiced-up ketchup (Whataburger ...

Brandon Ashley sighting in the crowd!

Good news, everyone! Apparently, Yachats has a little brewery now also!

beames

I won't post much more than I did in that Oregon Coast thread, except to say that the Rogue Brewery is located in Newport! I've read mixed reviews on the place, but it might be worth looking into. Otherwise, Newport, Yachats, and some of the other towns on the way to Florence have great food to go w...

yup, that's why we got married in Ecola State Park right next to CB. Congrats, from another member of the Oregon Coast Wedding Club! For coastal destinations, I will break from the rest here and recommend the Central coast. The stretch from Newport to Florence has always been my favorite, with the ...

Oh, it's definitely exaggerated (should've prefaced that), but after a half dozen letdowns during the couple years I've been here I'm a tad jaded! I'm still open to suggestion though, because I realize at least a decent percentage of the hundreds of Mexican places here must be good. I will be glad t...

beames

So for Mexican fare - I know El Charro and Casa Molina. Any others we should check out? Also, need to stock up on UofA gear - I assume the student bookstore is the best place to go. Mi Nidito is awesome if you have time to wait. Almost everything on 4th is good. Poco & Mom's if you like New Mexican...

We're getting married in Ecola State Park between Seaside (where our rental house is, only $800 for the week btw and steps from the water) and Cannon Beach. The officiant seems awesome. Did splurge on a great photographer but that made sense. I used my rewards points for the the plane tickets and r...

That's why you do what I am doing...not having one! Just a ceremony for 2 on the beach in Oregon and that's that! Having a party in Tucson at Pueblo Vida Brewery in August for close friends and family. No stress, no mess, and about 1/10 the cost. Which beach? Got married myself yards away from the ...

Fun fact: In Canada, "dick" is not a curse word. In fact, the only time I've ever visited the great white north, I saw a Minister of Something casually call some other politician a dick on the CBC evening news!

I will always have a special place in my heart for Tucson International, simply because of the non-stop to Vegas. There was one time when the wife and I were running late and from the moment we left our house, drove 15 minutes to the airport, parked, boarded, and eventually ended up in the lobby at ...

Can't we all just agree to blame the Pac12 network?

For Phoenix folks, El Guero is about to open a location at 51st avenue and McDowell! Finally, decent Sonoran food here.

beames

I don't recall the actual location, but I stayed in Yellowstone about a decade ago. This property in particular had a nice lodge, but also many cabins. Because I just showed up without any reservations I ended up in a cabin duplex thing for like $100 a night. It was a dump, and like so many other st...

Lovely fall day in Spokane. Heading down to Pullman soon. Storm predicted tonight. Hopefully, the game ends first. Just in case, Gumby and Junior will be bringing red and blue ponchos. It's amazing the Cougs get any fans at their games at all, with all of them living at least an hour and a half awa...

Bone-in ribeyes in order from best to worst: Vic and Anthony's (with some lobster bisque to start it off), CUT (dry-aged), or Mastro's, all in Vegas. Still waiting to try the Mastro's locations in Scottsdale, though I am concerned my nice shirt, pants, and shoes combo that I can get away with in Veg...

That's a tough one, because I could never identify the right chiles - Arbol? Cascabel? Red Jalapenos? Fresnos? Habaneros? Others? A blend? - so I buy the one I liked the most which is this: Poblano Hot Sauce Salsa Ranchera . Made in Tucson. Oh my god, I've been trying to remember/find who made the ...

Baby steps. I've always been told I take nice photos with my crappy cameras so I'm pretty sure I've got an eye for it, it's just a matter of taking the next step. I'm a big scenery guy, so I haven't even attempted the more artistic shots you posted there!

beames

Oh, nevermind, you did the looking for me! I'll have to pull the trigger on it tonight. Thanks again for all of your help, JMJ.

I was under the impression that the kits available on Amazon, and there are many, often were a matter of quantity over quality, so I'll have to take another look. I hadn't thought about that secondary stuff though. It seems Canon is the easy choice for the first DSLR, especially since I can't hope t...

beames

So, the wife and I are expecting our first child about a month from now and I feel like now we finally have an excuse to move up a rung on the camera ladder. I've been digital for well over a decade now, having had good luck over the years with various Nikon and Lumix models, but I'm ready to move o...

A guy, regardless of his actual personality, acting appropriately in church? You don't say....
Guess God is punishing you for not seeing the light there, buddy!!

Hope you're eating lots of local chowder! I got hitched on the Oregon Coast in Yachats, which is further south, and I actually enjoy that state's stretch of the Pacific more than that of it's neighbors, especially Washington, whose Pacific coastline is downright dismal. Aberdeen might be the biggest...

Couldn't agree more, despite it being my official hometown. So glad my family moved to the flashy dirty hippie shithole of Portland at a young age! However, I can always say I lived in the same town as the Simpsons, Springfield.

The wars of our future will be fought not by nations but between companies like Amazon, Google and eharmony. It is important that you rigidly define your allegiances now because they will be most definitely be skimming your cookies! So to answer the question: what? Oh, hey, I love free shipping!!! O...

I would think that rivals must have noticed the drastic drop off, which could spell big trouble for the site's legitimacy. Rivals could decide to cut the cord, like when a patent company doesn't like the actions of a franchise branch.

Classic!

Is it just my imagination or are they inflating numbers over there now with fake usernames? Maybe I've just been oblivious but since when are there over 2000 people on the board at 11 pm? Then there are usernames like JJohnson and RSmith that reek of fraud!
