Things That Amuse You

[Name Redacted]

Went out to dinner at the local ski town dive bar on the first day of the season. Food was barely edible, maybe we shoulda got the $30 lasagna. But the scene was priceless and timeless. It honestly felt like the year I moved here, and I doubt the menu has changed since then. 6pm and people still in ski clothes, goggles on heads at the bar. Ski patrollers puffing out their chests, checking out this season's crop of young ladies, regaling them with tales of this summer's rafting adventures, spoken loudly for all to hear. Snowmakers huddled around the pool table, eyes one their quarters. Live music that might as well have been karaoke. Worst draft list I've seen in a while, they still make Flat Tire?. Yellowjackets on special, overpriced house red for the wife. Fresh coat of paint on the furniture built out of classy 2x4s, was that new cushions? I didn't even hit bottom! When it ceases to amuse me, maybe I should move somewhere less predictable.

Oh man, I wish we still had that! RIP The Pub. A good apres bar then home by 8 is just my style. We've got Pepporonis after a weekday pow sesh but that's about it. Denos doesn't count. Too many realtors and people that don't ski. Maybe Fischers?

Dive-bar red wine... bold move on your wife's part.

Her taste in wine is on par with her taste in men. She's a risk taker, what can I say?

Driving through Glenwood canyon the other day, I get passed by a lime green Camaro with the license plate, and I shit you not, FSTFRED. Wish I had snapped a photo.

^^^Thanks

That's how I think also. Mostly I was just digging into the idea that their are benefits from a lack of transparency. Because in our society, it seems like there are for the purposes of maintaining that veneer whilst the ruling elite keep on keeping on.

But yeah, things that amuse me:

Those useless pancake turner show shovels and the new to mountain homeownership folkes that use them

The whole range of attitudes surround the first real storm

The dumbasses parked on the road looking the whole way as a herd on 80+ elk stampeded right behind them

The Grumpy Gringo contactors getting shit canned left and right

There is transparency but nobody is looking. We’re all focused on our gee gaws and social media streams instead of being curious

I was thinking something like poor, but good looking with notes of stale beer, tobacco, campfire, and cedar? Get's better with age?

Dive bar wine definitely ain't gonna get better with age. It starts to break down as soon as the cork is pulled... assuming it has a cork.

Dive bar red wine is my wife's middle name. My drinking nick name for her is Tank. Cheap wine and a pack of cigs and she's good to go. I hope she never changes...

Ms TBS is playing dolls with six year-old granddaughter.

The dialog has included
“We’re not going back”
and
“Rise Up Sisters, We Will Overthrow the Patriarchy!”

That’s amazing, good for her.

My daughter really enjoyed the fact she got to vote for a woman for president in her first presidential election.

Same. It was the first for both my daughters.

May there be millions more out there like our intelligent daughters.

Great post; that's a wonderful scene that I look forward to reliving again one day.
