Why, they'd look like a bunch of Johnny-come-latelies, tossin' out their own midget... don't matter how stumpy. -
If you get a hook, beware of walking under seagulls for the first few days.

It's been forever since I lived around there, and pretty much everything I loved is probably gone (RIP Ginger Man), but I'd go with some scotch eggs, beef stew, and a few pints of the black stuff at the Mucky Duck.

Thanks. I will tell him to accept no less than this on the official tour.

Anybody have any recommendations for fly guides or spots in Boulder or Ft Collins CO? These aren't areas I've fished around, but we're doing college visits in early June, and I'd love to take the fam out. Bonus points for fishing near the universities which would give our kid inspiration for fun things he could get out and do in college aside from gummies. Oh, and studying.

Surely this song is posted in this thread somewhere. If so, well here it is again: Absolutely jaw-dropping fucking masterpiece, imo

Probably what @Al_4_ISU is talking about: The whole interview is really good. I'm sure there are mixed feelings about Bert (I think he's funny but I don't take him too seriously), but the interview may have well been between his wife and SWJ. She's pretty fucking cool. -

Houston show for Stephen Wilson Jr. rescheduled for possibly the most "yep, that checks out" reason ever. -
Really enjoyed this one, thanks. Great vacation read, his prose is really great -- different without being annoying or pretentious. Going to read Peace Like A River next, I suppose.

Got my fluid change this morning and I'm good for another 10. Regarding the prep, my instructions were for the Miralax chug, and I'm guessing they default to that because it's cheap and readily available, and so they don't have to deal with stupid insurance companies and denials. Since I have a stupid insurance company and I really don't like or drink gatorade or sweetened/artificially sweetened stuff, I asked my GI to give me a script for the Sutab pill prep. Naturally, my stupid insurance wouldn't cover it, but I found basically an online promo code that cut it down from $187 to like $50. I can't make a direct comparison, but just drinking a bunch of water seems a lot more pleasant than the liquid preps. It was well worth the $50 and I'd probably even cough up the full price if needed. And as for propofol, yes it's perfect for a procedure like this (disclaimer: no nurse paystub). Ask what you're getting, and if you're having any anxiety about anesthesia that's what you want. The lights go out and the lights come back on, no groggy liminal states or hangovers. It's stupid IMO that they tell you not to drive afterward. Due to short staffing they said they were running one room with versed/fentanyl, and I noped out of that right quick. The most difficult thing for me was getting it scheduled, which is why I was overdue. So throw out your own excuses and get this done, it's easy and it's important.

@SimonBolivar As a fellow summer Coloradoan, I do agree that the drive across the NE corner of NM from Clayton, especially now that they have widened the road, is pleasant. When a summer storm blows through, it's quite beautiful, and I dig the volcano as well. Maybe I'm scarred by too many trips home that route, because that makes Amarillo to FW even more bitter and depressing. @Wiler77 Thanks for that. I have never stopped to check out Trinidad because I'm in a hurry to get past Pueblo and into the mountains, but I agree it looks like it could be cool. That said, I suppose it could be -- I never had a clue there was anything cool in Las Vegas NM until I was an adult and decided to stop for the night, since we'd always just rolled through as fast as we could to get on with it. As long as I'm derailing this thread, I'll also put in a plug for anyone going Western Slope instead of Front Range to find a way to stay the night in Taos at the Taos Inn. I always wanted to stay there as a kid because of the awesome neon sign, but never got to do so until I was the dad. Totally worth it, and one of my happy places in this world is having a jalapeno margarita in their front courtyard. Oh, and the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge is certainly... a thing.

Yeah, while nothing on the way is exactly stunning as compared with the scenery once you get there, I can at least find something to enjoy on that route, no doubt fueled by some nostalgia. And the worst part of the drive (Lubbock to Clovis) is at least proportionally short (if pungent). Even Post has its charms. When I was a kid, the other route for us was to go up 35 to FW and then 287 to Amarillo and on. That stretch, especially from Wichita Falls to Clayton, is to me just the most depressing, soul-suckingly endless stretch of practically-Oklahoma that I would go hours out of the way to avoid it, and I'm a guy who loves road trips. And yes, the Allsups are much more plentiful on the former route.
