  1. Don't tell me Axl Rose wasn't heavily influenced by Dan McCafferty. Hair of the Dog is a 70's hard rock cornerstone.
  2. Two bumps, actually. And nice ones at that.
  3. That's true. Also, the wind off Lake Erie is a bitch. Give me Flag over Buffalo any day, but most people have no clue that Flag gets so much snow
  4. Flagstaff also gets almost as much snow per year as Buffalo. Flag is great in the summer. The winter? You better like snow and cold temps. It's beautiful country up there, though.
  5. Bear in mind that you'd be at high altitude (right around 7K feet) and it does get cold there in the winter. The average daily low in December and January is in the upper teens according to the climate data I've seen. Santa Fe averages around 20 inches of snow per year according to that same data. Your wife hasn't lived anywhere but Austin, so I've got to think the winter in Santa Fe, such as it is, would be a big adjustment for her. Is she okay with that? It's one thing to go there in the summer and hang out for a week in nice weather. It's another to live there year round. Maybe she'd be okay with it, but at the very least it is something that should be a topic of discussion and contemplation. FWIW, my situation is similar to yours, i.e., I can live in most places and be content, whereas the wife (no pics) is a lot choosier. Given that she was born and raised in SoCal, I know she would put the kibosh on living anywhere that gets as cold in the winter as Santa Fe.
  6. There isn't a word in the English language adequate to convey the extent to which ya'll are wrong.
  7. The best driving song ever is Skynyrd's cover of J.J. Cale's "Call Me The Breeze," and anyone who disagrees is not only wrong but deserves every single bad thing that could possibly happen to them.
  8. For all I know, that customer did or said something prior to the video commencing which legitimately called for her expulsion from the store. With that said, I hate UPS with a passion based on numerous problems with its service and its employees in past years, so UPS can generally go fuck itself. And the UPS employee in that video went from sounding reasonable to sounding unhinged in record time.
  9. Okies . . . lulz
  10. What's your point?
  11. Freebie and the Bean! Haven't seen that movie in a million years. RIP, Mr. Arkin. You were good.
  12. It was against the A's, so does it count?
  13. I don't think I have to respect it as much as I have to ridicule it.
  14. https://www.yahoo.com/autos/toyota-land-cruiser-u-reportedly-192100176.html
  15. Interesting thread has taken an interesting turn.
  16. I can't find Fortaleza Reposado for anything less than $175 out here, which is criminal because I think it lists for something like $60. Everybody is out of it as well as the blanco still strength. So that price in Amsterdam is well under market so far as I know.
  17. This clip abruptly cuts off at the end, which sucks, but you get the drift . . .
  18. Will be up in the Santa Cruz Mountains area of CA later this summer. Looking for recs on wineries to visit. I don't think I've had any wine from that AVA aside from a bottle or two from Ridge's Monte Bello vineyards, so I'm pretty clueless. Have heard/read some good things about Thomas Fogarty and Sante Arcangeli, but other than that I'm starting from scratch. Any recs? I'll take restaurant suggestions as well. TIA
