Cinza's conversations

Yep, long drives. And people in Moab probably do not give much thought to buzzing up to SL City for a good shopping trip or some such—about like the straight line distance from Heidelberg to Brussels. Don't get lost and eaten by horned toads!

You did make it to my old airport!

For tiny specs of land out there in the deep blue "Sell your land=Sell your soul" is a very good motto. They should "Remember Manhattan!" (even if the land "owners" reputed to sell it for trinkets had no such intentions).

Very nice! Great colors.

Do not park under those things either. Last time in Brasil I got a laugh at people searching for parking places at a beach with parking in a coconut grove. I had pulled into the shade and then realized why that was a bad idea. Hard to find a place that was safe!

Canned food, old time "junk food" and really cheap alcohol were problems even back in 1969 and obesity was already beginning to take a toll in the islands of the Pacific. Korror was the only place in my life where a gin and tonic was served in a tea glass as a jigger of tonic topped off with gin, and yep, a shot of Coca-Cola topped off with rum too. Completely backwards. Wondered why until I found a little market. Bottle of booze was less than half the price of a bottle of mix! Wish I had a photo of that shelf. So, old traditional foods off scarce to almost no farm able land had been replaced by high fat/high calorie processed stuff.

Great! Bet it has changed to almost unrecognizable from my day. I know I had to do some looking for even the position of the old airport with its relics when Google Earth first got good imagery there.

A very interesting ceiling design! I see it was a localman that did that in 1636 so that probably explains its originality.

Still my "gold standard" for the cheese bearing the name. I've no idea whether the cows grazed on nearby land or the cheese was actually made and aged in Cheddar, but a big chunk I bought to snack on while walking along the stream has never been matched in taste and texture. Still hoping to find some about forty years later!

Pretty striking and there was no loss of any "character" from the past. I like it better than the old white cliff. No idea of whether the restaurant itself adds anything to what has increasingly become "destination dining" on 8th. Some seem to just offer highly priced, bland food in slick and somewhat numbingly similar "decor." The only new one that gets my pretty unqualified approval is one serving very good Balkan food in a "small plate"(tapas format) way with a unique renovation across the street.
