man, those baby deer  :D

Tell me about it.  Just going for a run and there they were with their mom, smiling and saying hi.  I am going to get them some marshmallows for later.

No.  and I have spent the whole day regretting it.  I am horrible at reading animal body language.

true story alert...


i used to live in an apartment complex pretty close to the broadmoor. one night my girlfriend (now wife) and i went to the pool/hot tub. it was dark. there were a group of super weird guys there that looked really sketch and didn't look like they should really be hanging out together but somehow knew each other. we both instantly got super weirded out. made up some story and went back to our apt. it was super weird somehow and we both knew it. a few weeks later i was driving into woodland park colorado and couldn't get in because the police/fbi had highway 24 blocked off. later found out that they had just caught these guys in woodland park and that they had been hanging out in and around woodland park and south colorado springs for over a month. i'm pretty sure it was the guys that we saw in the pool/hotub.





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Seven

A friend of Wade Holder, the owner of the Coachlight Motel and R.V. Park in Woodland Park, Colorado, happened to watch the television program America's Most Wanted on January 20, 2001. He believed that the Texas 7, who were being compared to Ángel Maturino Reséndiz, were in Holder's trailer park and informed Holder so. When he confirmed this, he reported the suspicious activities to local authorities the next day on January 21.

The El Paso County Sheriff's Department SWAT team found Garcia, Rodriguez, and Rivas in a Jeep Cherokee in the RV Park. Authorities followed them to a nearby gas station and arrested them. They then found Halprin and Harper in an RV; Halprin surrendered peacefully, but Harper was found dead after a standoff; he had shot himself in the chest with a pistol. The surviving four members were taken into police custody.[14]

On January 23, they received information on the whereabouts of the last two. They were hiding out in a Holiday Inn in Colorado Springs, Colorado. A deal brokered between the two, Newbury and Murphy, allowed them to make live TV appearances before they were arrested.[15] In the early hours of January 24, a local KKTV television anchorman, Eric Singer, was taken into the hotel where on camera he interviewed the two by telephone. Both of them harshly denounced the criminal justice system in Texas, with Newbury adding "the system is as corrupt as we are."

It's great.  I went down with the 2 fawns.  I was in the middle.  It was adorbs.

Now I am sitting on my private balcony, looking up Pike's Peak, drinking a Tito's and soda.

I've stayed at the Excellence Playa Mujeres which is basically Cancun.  It was nice.  I enjoy ordering room service and also requesting a 12 pack of iced down pacifico to come with the food just in case I feel like drinking them.

fwiw, I just merged a bunch of travel related threads into this one and changed the first post to "IT'S THE OFFICIAL TRAVEL THREAD Y'ALL!" that's why everyone immediately starts in on Portland. iirc jtksu said something about Portland sucking because beems just moved there.

Good to know.  :lol: @ the thought of carrying luggage on subways.

I see people w/ luggage every day on BART.

I'm not saying people don't do it, I'm saying  :lol: at people who do. Get a cab you cheap ass.

If the time is comparable, (which it usually is if you're in a city where it doesn't make sense to rent a car),  I would almost always prefer transit. Cabs are smelly and gross and awkward more than they are overpriced. (Cabs in NYC are surprisingly affordable)

also, taking an impromptu trip to Reno this weekend for some seedy smoke-filled old-timey gambling halls at night and tahoe during the day. should be a good time.
