The original Hitching Post out in the boonies...Casmalia. Used to be the only decent restaurant back in the day...was a hangout for the NASA boys blasting stuff off out of Vandenberg.

No confusion, I know where Grindelwald is, I've been staying there for half a century. I tend not to be there during the high season.

You've made good choices....Wengen has more options quality restaurant and room wise, but if you're using it as a base, it's remoteness up there translates into more travel time per day, same with Murren. But if your exploring means hiking, Wengen would be fine. Lauterbrunnen is a nice place to sit on a patio, drink bier, and watch waterfalls, but being in the canyon pales in comparison to being up above. Either of the to 'upper' towns are unworldly beautiful...you might find yourself content to just soak up the beauty...it's breathtaking up there. Grindelwald is also nice, a bit more sleepy than the others. Hotel Gletschergarten there is one of my favorite places to stay, sitting on the balcony in the morning looking at the Eiger, eating pastry from the good bakery right across the street. The cemetery across the street, towards town has many gravesites of climbers who have died in the nearby heights...it's worth the look. The train runs to Grindelwald, not so the others. You will love the area.

btw good luck with a $42K kitchen remodel.
Yeah...once you deduct the cost of the Sub-Zero, you've got about enough for the paint.

a Corvette in Malibu has to be about as panty-dropping as a Chevy Malibu in Dallas
Uhhh, no. Some high school kids there drive 'em.

Point taken.....but given the shitshow that has been UCLA football, I'll take it. Chip Kelly left a pretty low bar when he snuck out the back door.

VIA Rail 'Canadian' between Vancouver B.C. and Toronto, best train in North America. Five (I think) different levels of service. Stay in the Rockies for a couple of days, then catch the next train, whichever way you're heading.

165 indicated on A8 returning my GT4 to the factory from Munich for its trip home. After legally doing 165, the car was flat boring in California.

Anyone else dream of a Delta unisaw because that's what Norm used?
I had 8 unisaws (4 left, 4 right) for my business, but the powermatics were the workers favorites. Having said that, I kept a pair of unisaws when I retired.

Downsizing your wheels? Are you some kind of animal?
If you're really using a truck for it's intended use, and I realize about 4% of buyers are, then the more sidewall the better. The look on the sales manager's face when I asked to trade for 2" smaller wheels was unforgettable. But what he did forget was to swap the spare, too. Realized that when I got back home, 850 miles later.

I read the other day that Jimi wanted Stephen Stills as his bassist, but the message never got to Stills until after Jimi’s death.
Stills absolutely would have done it.Steven Stills quote - "I was just trying to figure out what to do next (after Buffalo Springfield). I followed Jimi Hendrix around the country for a year learning how to play lead guitar and he taught me some great things'"

The Stones! Their website resale went live yesterday @ noon, I pulled off the freeway and snagged 4 seats in the 24th row. After saying it for the last 10 to 12 yers, I really think this will be their last tour.

Walnut & Oakland....the Arroyo location is stronger, IMO.

I've been recreating outdoors for a long time....in my experience, many hunters and fisherman don't really have much respect for certain laws, ethics, or the environment.

It is oddly remote, and the south side of the peninsula is oddly sparsely populated.
The sparsely populated areas are due to the many geologically unstable areas....four houses slid into a ravine awhile back. The best lobster that I ever had was taken off of the PV peninsula.

But goddamn, that’s a rough commute to USC everyday as opposed to driving around norman.
PV is a rough commute to anywhere...it's amazing how remote it is from the rest of socal. But once you're home, the remoteness is quite appreciated, as is the climate. I know many people who have lived in socal their whole life and have never been there.

Calling that house "ocean front" is quite the stretch....waters about a 1/2 mile away. It's a big estate in one of the denser developed areas of PV....still nice, though.

I’m ashamed to admit he’s grown on me. Like a boil, that I’m watching to see if it expands.
Had my 21st birthday party @ his dad's restaurant in San Pedro, Petros was one of the servers....on the way back north on the Harbor freeway, one of the four cars in our party got picked off by the CHP, and nobody noticed until the unlucky driver called my house requesting us to bail him out. Petros voice may be grating, but he certainly knows what he is talking about. Have never heard him make a statement that caused me to say WTF?

Petros!

Actually two really bad calls....the receiver was standing inbounds when he kicked the pylon, refs called no TD on review. Two plays later the RB had two feet in the end zone, still no TD.

My wife just yelled from the kitchen that the power was out, the toaster and the coffee maker don't work. She had to yell so that the dryer that was running in the laundry didn't drown out her response.
