With everyone moving here, it won't be long until that's a reality in DFW.

I'm still looking for decent BBQ. We have a Rudy's up on Ft Collins but that is a half hour drive. No good donuts either. Erie, CO is a damn dead zone for dining. The redeemer is Beer. Glorious microbrew beer all over the damn place. Pizza is pretty good too.

Try living in a town with exactly one restaurant for the majority of the year, and it's crappy bar food. They don't even have a fryer, so it's all just frozen stuff grilled or baked. We have 5-6 spots open during the summer months, and most are decent, but small menus, and eating the same stuff gets old. The next closest restaurant outside of this town is an hour away in either direction. It's really the only thing I don't like about Lake City.

No good Mexican food, but you need to experience casa bonita at least once.... probably just once. I shall never go back.

Just looked it up. That place looks nuts!

Great fun for kids. At one time their sopapillas were good.

After hearing what some of you are paying for apartments I don't feel quite so bad about the 1200 I'm paying to RENT my 1500 Sq ft 3bed, 2.5bath, 2car garage house with a view of the Sandia mountains (hardly a mountain range).

I thoroughly enjoyed the long weekend I spent there and the views up and down Sandia. Found some good eats in town too. Would definitely visit again but not sure I could live there.

We went to Tacos Jalisco's in South East Denver, it is pretty good. They also have a Torchys now, you know they rock.

If I walk to the upstairs patio at my sisters I can see Tijuana (which is mountainous), the border wall and the ocean. Head two hours east and you're at Glamis, north and it's LA, west your shark bait and south you'd be in Ensenada.

wait, theres already a wall?

46 miles of it between San Diego and Tijuana. Most of the border between here and El Paso is fenced and you could walk over it in many places. It runs right through Glamis which has massive sand dunes that tend to move around with the wind.

the shitty thing about that, is you now have mostly 50-60 year olds in the upper management position that still wanna tell you about how they got by when they were your age. like 60k sounds great on paper, until i run the numbers and spent $10,000 of it going back and forth to work.

or even the cost of a house. someone show me the quintessential starter home for $90k in the late 70s/ early 80s and tell me where to buy another today. i'll wait.

you know that guy "the king" and ss junk etc that follow me around here.

this article was written about those people.

These mid to upper level management people have not been able to retire in the past ten years because of depressed interest rates. If rates ever get back up to a reasonable level these people can exist on a fixed income thrown off by their 401k and they will retire. These idiots are depressing wages.

Do they still have the cliff diving?

We went in the mid 70's with my folks, great fun when you are a kid. Then again a few times after we got our drivers license and we'd drive to Denver to go to Elitch Gardens, then stop there before heading home.

I don't follow you around*, but fuck man how in the hell are you spending almost $200.00 on fuel per week? You're not doing it right, son! You need to smarter with your money, my wife drives 56 miles each way and she only spends $30.00 every 7-10 days...

Champagne tastes on a beer budget maybe? Our janitor at work drives an E350 that is a few years old. I have been tempted to ask him the story on that. We all know how this goes.

A maintenance man at my work drives a 2014 BMW M6. He's retired and i guess does it just to stay busy. Or blew a big chunk of his retirement on a BMW.

Always a possibility but this guy is about 30 years old. You never know in that part of town, he could be a trust fund kid. Unlikely but possible. I work with a kid who will inherit a couple hundred million some day, he works just like anyone else.

For now I must say no. I haven't found one yet. But then I've only been here for two weeks and I haven't been looking.

La Hacienda is good. South of Denver. Had many a business meeting there.

I want to say I was on their website not too long ago and there were job openings for divers.
