I'm guessing you're not talking about the molybdenum mine owned by Climax at Fremont Pass above Leadville, CO? Great country, but rarified air for sure.

Boston gets a bad rap for drivers but CT drivers are the demon spawn of Satan and Flannery O'Connor's "creative" brain. Just a collection of freaks and sideshow misfits. I swear to God, don't stop for gas unless it's in Fairfield.

I came to DBR last night to read about and comment on Booker’s performance in game four but got sidetracked on this thread and ended up going to the bookshelf and re-reading “A Good Man is Hard to Find.”* Wow. I’d forgotten a lot. On one of the story’s lighter notes, though, the grandkids reminded me of Walker and Texas Ranger from Talladega Nights!


*No reflection on the OP :)

We don’t stay up late enough to watch Succession Sunday evening so have to avoid that thread today.

Never seen the movie. But have "A Good Man is Hard to Find" and "Good Country People" pretty much committed to memory.

Mrs. Hopewell is my favorite. I need to go back and find some of the lines about her.

“Mrs. Hopewell had no bad qualities of her own but she was able to use other people’s in such a constructive way that she never felt the lack.” That’s just so good.

LOL at the astronaut chick who had to drive cross country in a diaper in order to kill her rival. No diaper for this guy (then)!!!!. Her trip took 14 hours, same as mine.

The nerve of it! She wanted to go to the moon but needed a diaper to get from Houston to Orlando? Seriously?

I got a speeding ticket in Gila Bend when I missed a school zone sign while having my 9-year-old pee in a cup so we could make it home in time for the 2010 championship game.

Same company and at elevation, but not sure of the location. Somewhere not too far south of I-70 west of Denver is all I remember - a friend gave me directions. It did get well below freezing overnight in late June and had a glorious sunrise overlooking a lake.
