I believe in a flat 6,000 year old Earth, Bob Wheeler's bus reservations, soft core pornography, and that the popliteofibular ligament is a myth perpetrated by the Devil to swindle us out of our everlasting souls. -
No, no, no, y'all are confusing them with Blütpissklötten, who never made it out of the Koblenz underground scene aside from the one bootleg import I picked up at Technophilia in '94. But there are definite callbacks to the Krebsmusiksbewegung of the waning twentieth century.

@BurntEyes We're happy it's just THC and EtOH. That's pretty square for Wasted State. Free bus runs to the bottom of the mountain multiple times a day. He's up there 3-5 times a week. -

My kid goes to Western Colorado in Gunnison, and I figured it was abbreviated there as a safety measure to maintain SpO2 given the field elevation of 7700'. "SKO 'NEERS!!! gasp... gasp... ... hey honey, is the dispensary still open?" -

@Beau Vine, don't think there hasn't been an unsent PM in my drafts with your name on it for a long time now. But thanks, now when I hit send it won't look like I'm stalking. -
Yeah, well, I went to the creek out back after work yesterday. Look upon my catch, ye mighty, and despair.

I'll follow you back over here from the Colorado Vacation thread, at least until we get our own "My Kid is a Colorado Expat for College" forum. I'd like to get my son to look at Trinity as well if he thinks he wants to stay in Texas at all. They have an online estimator of what financial aid you could expect. Still not cheap (and probably close to Colorado OOS), but I've heard a lot of great things. You could look at Fort Lewis in Durango as a smaller liberal arts school. If you have any documented Native American ancestry, that can help financially as they were founded as a Native American school. As I said in the other thread, my nephew is starting there in the fall. If you haven't been, it's a really cool town and area, though far removed from the Front Range. Has she thought about Wyoming? My older one visited there and I was pretty impressed for the size of the school, but the weather is not for the faint-hearted, and like CSU, it's not right in the mountains. I don't remember what financials looked like OOS, but it's not a 'premium' like CU these days. If she wants to be a therapist, seems she should be thinking about a master's anyway, and I'd say that a solid and healthy well-rounded college experience will mean a lot more to her and her future clients than any big names for undergrad, although if we could get any resident therapists like @TenaciousTgarden to chime in, that would be much more valuable info that any I would have. And while mine might apply to Texas but is just outside the auto-admit range, my understanding is that admission to the delightful College of Liberal Arts (which I'd think psych is) is an easier get than CS or McCombs or Engineering or those other automaton-robot majors (Plan II bias showing here).

Regardless, some poor ultrasound tech had to get all up in those baggy inguinal regions. Probably a lot of crusty ketchup in those folds, if not a half-eaten Big Mac and a few thousand rubles of folding money.

At least a timeshare condo. I'm not cleaning up the hot tub if anyone brings South Austin's mom, though. -

Well, this thread is now completely off the rails. @hookem2010, my grandparents had what we'd now call an "off grid" cabin at about 10,800ft outside of Pitkin where I spent my summers growing up. Hold to that place if y'all can, wish we still had ours. If you get a chance to head a little north, the Quartz Creek valley is beautiful. If you don't get objections to driving over Cumberland Pass to Tin Cup, the aforementioned Frenchy's has a stocked pond where your 3yo would probably enjoy feeding the fish, and Mirror Lake is gorgeous. Or you can do a quick informal tour of the hatchery in Pitkin, good for a kid of that age. Don't do the Alpine Tunnel unless you like a terrifying drive which leads to nothing worth seeing. -

Talked to a guy in Salida a few years back who said he regretted talking shit about Texans once the Californians came in. Said at least when we bought stuff up we'd at least come up and make use of it. That said, just don't be a dick wherever you go, respect/appreciate the locals, and leave things as good or better than you found them. -

I'm embarrassed to say we've never eaten at Garlic Mikes although we usually stay right near there. Nothing against it and I understand it's still great, but we are usually grubby and while it's not fine dining, we're usually in the mood for something other than sit-down Italian. We make the rounds at: High Alpine: gotten super expensive but great pizza and outstanding brews, the Kolsch is probably the best I've had outside of Koln. The Dive: Next to and owned by the Marios folks. Super cool open air seating in the summer, the duck poutine is whaaarrrrgarrbl. Power Stop: greasy ass burgers and breakfast burritos in a kick ass gas station Backcountry Cafe: great breakfast, San Juan Benedict with chorizo and green chile FTW W Cafe: another great breakfast spot Sherpa Cafe: Also in Salida and CB, Nepalese immigrants who make great stuff Secret Stash: Legendary pizza in CB "Himalayan Food": Hidden at the back of the Eldo in CB, amazing stuff, also immigrants who barely speak English. Dammit, why am I sitting here in the heat and humidity? So many poor life choices... -

He loves it, though it has its trade-offs of outdoor experiences vs usual college stuff. He'd spent so much time there growing up that it already felt like home. Doing their 5 year outdoor industry MBA. I think my younger son would love to go there as well, but "Wasted State" probably isn't the choice over the front range schools for pre-med. And it's a great excuse to go visit up there. I'm more of a summer mountains guy than winter sports, and yeah, the fishing and river stuff is fantastic. In the spirit of the thread, if anyone wants suggestions on some good places to stay in Gunni or Salida, feel free to PM. I'd rather not put them on blast, since I'd still like to be able to book them...
