Damn. Good point.

My son lives in Telluride. He visits Ouray on a regular basis, loads of great hiking, biking, outdoor restaurants, etc.

Not all that close to Denver, however.

Good call on the office, it’s a great spot for breakfast. The beef machaca and chicken Chilaquiles are top notch.

In fact, if you wanna go see the arches, this restaurant has their own yellow boat that takes you out there

If you take your receipt from breakfast and show it to the guy on the boat I want to say it’a something like $10 round-trip per person ….which is a fraction of the cost of you use one of the other small boats

Another day in Philly

A man had just dropped off pizza at a Pennsylvania home and was heading back to his vehicle when suddenly a teenager attacked and killed him, authorities say. Sincere Camps, 14, faces charges including murder, conspiracy, robbery inflicting serious bodily injury, possession of an instrument of crime with intent, and recklessly endangering another person. According to court records reviewed by Law&Crime, he is in the Philadelphia Juvenile Justice Services Center and has been denied bail.

Police identified the victim as 28-year-old Anshul Kuncha. On June 5 at about 12:30 a.m., the Philadelphia Police Department said Kuncha was lured to a home on the 2300 block of Edgley Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, per local NBC affiliate WCAU. Someone had apparently ordered three pizzas to an empty apartment. As Kuncha left his vehicle to drop the food off, two people in dark clothing reportedly followed him, a visual that could be seen on nearby surveillance video. The delivery driver dropped off the food, and as he stood outside the apartment, he was shot in the head and then robbed. Police responded to the area to find Kuncha lying on the ground unresponsive. He had a gunshot wound to the head and was bleeding profusely.

First and foremost, after you are walking through the airport past customs, WALK ALL THE WAY OUTSIDE... the timeshare sharks are relentless and annoying AF. Have your transportation details ready to go and meet your guy under their tent...don't listen to what the people tell you as you are walking out.

Also, stop at a bank (NOT AT THE AIRPORT) and withdraw cash in pesos from an ATM. Restaurants/Bars will kill you with USD FX conversion if you pay in dollars (the includes credit cards). Some restaurants will let you pay in pesos on your credit card, this is OK because your bank will use the current market FX rate.

NIGHTLIFE - We don't go to the clubs so will let someone else chime in...



Mount Solmar


Balandra Beach

Seems to be trending at your “everyday” places

We have been empty-nesters for almost a year now and naturally have been eating out quite a bit …. and not necessarily nice restaurants.

But 3–4 times a week for dinner.

We’ve noticed that the nicer steakhouses and seafood places still have the waitstaff introduce themselves when they first walked through their table, but for the most part at all other restaurants they just walk up and immediately ask us what we want to drink.

I guess this goes hand-in-hand with the other posts on the OT around customer service and general dying a slow death.

A summary for those that don’t want to read that enormous wall of text

* Smucker bought Hostess for about $5B thinking it would be a huge win, but it’s been struggling ever since.

* A lot of the problems were self-inflicted. They merged Hostess into Smucker’s systems, and it messed up ordering, shipping, and keeping stores stocked.

* Hostess products have a much shorter shelf life than Smucker’s other products, so they need a faster, more flexible distribution system—which Smucker didn’t really have.

* They also reorganized the sales teams, and it hurt convenience store sales (which are a huge part of Hostess’s business), costing them shelf space and sales.

* Bottom line: It sounds like the brands weren’t the problem—the way Smucker integrated the company was.

No shower or toilet?

He did not rob the store. He burglarized the store. They are different things.
