Head West Young Man

Glad you had a great time, Bluke. Alaska is truly a wild and mystical place.

 

Leaving for Alaska, Thursday to visit my son, daughter-in-law (and brand new baby girl).

They’re doctors (she’s Air Force) and July’s always the most hospitable time to visit (still have to dress in layers).

The scenery is gasp-worthy, but I can see why US News and World Report lists it the 50th most livable state.

But son and daughter-in-law are well paid, with good jobs and a warm social network to boot.

 

Sounds like a lot of libbie stuff to me!!

 

Did you bring back any fish?

 

At this point, I'd go just for the weather change. That was my favorite thing about San Francisco when I went a couple years back. March in July.

 

The weather in the Bay Area has been spectacular the past few weeks.

 

My second favorite thing was just driving around and that constant sense of Deja Vu you get from all the movies and TV filmed there.

 

We went to Doughboy’s house when I was in LA last and sure enough, got shot.

 

During the early part of the pandemic when there were no tourists and the streets were pretty much empty, we used to drive into The City all the time. We must have driven down Lombard at least fifty times over a couple of months . Usually, there is a long line just to do it once.

 

I spent a stupid amount to ship 24 Silvers home. Not even sockeye

 

Where is that cool thread about the Bay Area? Must have missed it

 

I did the same with Kings and halibut.

 

So, any mention of SF just makes you mad? Even if we're talking about stuff like. . . Dirty Harry shooting locations?

Wow! Just. . . wow!
