As a visitor to Colorado, only through DIA; and not in past 10 years- this made me both laugh and shrug shouders.
My mandolin was built in that state(Denver) and it has earned much good will for the remainder of the state.;-)

When I was in Tucson, I used to see bumper stickers that said "Keep Arizona Beautiful. Move Back East"

Thanks for this info.................but I ain't spending no $36 grand for a truck. My 2001 was $16,400 out the door. I know, I know, it's not 2001 anymore!

That same truck, if only with inflation would be $23,719.62 today so I feel that hesitance.
$36k is about what I am looking at for used trucks that give way more features than needed but are in many ways far better than my trucks/SUVs from the turn of the century.

I've been reading many of these problems, issues, pebble in the shoe comments. Mine are definitely not real issues or whatever, more rhetorical in nature...
I find the use of the word "privilege" becoming used more and more to describe any of a myriad of topics in a bizarre way...
being used and associated incorrectly with "luck," "randomness," "chance," "self-discipline" etc. As if any persons birth anywhere is an existence based in a judgement/grant by a tangible real authority and therefore their existence is subject to removal based in/on a subjective assessment by those consumed with envy.
People in hell want ice water...

I buy Fiji water by the case.

The air conditioner fan on my F-150 Lariat (think "boss truck" with leather seats and power everything) is stuck on one speed. It still blows cold air, but it takes a solid 10 minutes to cool the truck from "sitting outside in Texas heat" to "comfortable". I don't know what I'd do without my cooled seats to help make it less miserable when I get in to drive home.

I think you need to replace the resistor switch. That was a common problem on older GM vehicles. I replaced one in my buddy’s Grand Am years ago.

I got a few but who cares about what I care about. But anyway here it goes...
1). Every used bass that I've tried and liked, nobody never know what strings are on it. (this only happens to me,right?).
2). Why don't more bass guitar manufacturers supply flats on their new bass guitars or maybe have the same model with one of each? More choices are nice-yes? but then some people (like me) would find something else to complain about.
3). I'm gettin tired of resetting-up my basses when I change strings to different brands and tensions, gauges, rounds to flats, flats to rounds. Something should have been invented by now (for me because i'm lazy and cheap).
4) I was asked ''Why is it the fat guy always gotta play bass? I answered ''really?'' I need to look at this more.

All valid concerns!
However number 4 hit home- as a "new" official player-of- bass, may have to check diet.
Have lost 10 lbs in past 6 weeks of bass playing (only 30 more to go!)
Perhaps I should have read this first?

Ha! Just keep playing. In the short term ,you'll lose your 40 but in the long run you'll gain back 60 if what they say is true.

Ha!
Just happened that I picked up a new Ibanez 870 bout same time I needed to really change my health or accept long-range avoidable health issues(some of which are now, at 51, already inevitable)- Want to keep up with both of my pre-teen daughters AND any band that comes my way.
