Does calling your strip joints art galleries count? :-)

If so, then what is the metropolitan area classification for when you
call 'em "titty flop bars"?

Naval Homeports?

No, retirement community. :-)

Robert,

Where are you flying the seaplane?

Norcal Aviation in Northern California.
I see you're out of Ft. Collins. My company tried to get me to move out
there about a year ago. At the time everyone said you had to learn to
drive a tractor if you moved there. I've since heard its quite a nice
town. I think it made a recent top 10 list for best places to live.

Fort Collins was nearly out of tractors when I lived there 10 years
ago. Half of it's residents probably woudn't admit that they knew what
one looked like.

Get just a few miles outside of that college town, though, and it's a
totally different story.

Not a bad area, but the whole front range there is growing.

For anyone who has not done any sea plane flying, especially in the
mountains, its an amazing experience.

What bridge was 1,000 fet above you? I can only remember one that
might fit that description (Royal Gorge). But that'd be a real narrow
canyon!

Kind of an "if you have a Wal-Mart, you're at least a town, if you
have a Starbucks, you're a city" ???


I've thought for years the US Postal service could save untold millions if
they would use the Wal-Mart meter to judge weather a place gets its own post
office. Around here every wide spot in the road (WSITR) has a post office
when they could very easily be served by the post office in a nearby town.

There seemed to be a real building boom for POs in the 90's where the little
wood frame buildings all got replaced with a brick building which in almost
all the cases I've noticed were the most expensive building in town.

Anyplace can have a Starbucks. A true criteria of "civilization"
(or civilisation) is Nordstrom's and a quality bookstore.

In a pinch, all they need is the bookstore. ;)

Or a library. Or both.
