For Those With Only Summer To Travel

Those weren't two different people - both of those comments were from me. In fact, they were from the same post.

You seem to think that I "couldn't understand why you liked Yellowstone better", but that's not true. I was interested in your point of view and was asking you to expand on your earlier comments.

But if you want to talk about leaving well enough alone, then you ought to consider not editing old posts and adding rude remarks.

I care who started the thread.

C'mon, thick skin has nothing to do with expressing feelings and that's what I'm doing. Uh oh, looks like more bad press!:S

Seems kinda back-handed to go back and edit your old post in response to my post that came after it... Why not respond directly? :h

That being said, I have no beef with you. I was genuinely interested in the reasons for your feelings about Glacier vs. Yellowstone, and was disappointed when your chose not to explain them. But now this debate is purely for entertainment value. :B

Either way - no ill will or bad feelings. Have fun out there, and safe travels to you. :C

I would think after all your years as a cop you would have thicker skin or with all the bad press cops get you would try to reflect something better.

Thanks, Cornfed. I appreciate that. I try to help people on this forum whenever I can, and I'd hope other would have the same mentality.

I hadn't noticed Noe-Place's edited comments until you pointed them out, but that's funny! :B

All you need to do to really avoid this type of Noro Virus is:

1) Wash your hands with hot soap and water (while you sing the ABC song - then you'll know you've done it the length long enough.) Wash them often.

2) Keep your hands away from rubbing your eyes with your unwashed hands, your nose and your mouth - until you've washed said hands. This is especially hard explaining this to kids.
3) Avoid leafy greens until and unless you've had a chance to wash and rinse them yourself.
4) Wash all vegetables or at least rinse them well before consumption. --{snipped}--
Hope this helps someone!

I didn't read your CDC post, but some in foreign countries use Chlorox-type liquid added to water in which is washing vegies, etc. AND at one time I would add 1/4 cup Chlorox to my washing dishes water.

The Black hills in SD has a lot to offer. Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse memorial, Custer State Park, to mention a few. Also in the area are some caves, and Devils Tower.

Can't remember the name of the rv park, but believe it was a KOA when we went thru the Devils Tower area .. anyway they showed the film "Encounters of the Third Kind" (?) anyway the one ET was in.

It was interesting to look around an area where a movie had been filmed. It is a memory for these Seniors and I am sure a memory for a 12 yr old, whom I wonder if he has seen the movie ..

5) Watch cross contamination. Don't cut your chicken up on a cutting board, then immediately cut your veggies. Rinse and spray with a little bleach before hand. Keep your hands washed too,

6) The very dirtiest, most bacteria laden item in your kitchen is either your pot scrubber or dish rag or sponge. Don't use any of these to "wipe off" the kitchen. They're bacteria carnivals. Just use a wet paper towel, or a paper towel with a little 409 sprayed on it to wipe down your kitchen and kitchen counters.

Hope this helps someone!

That and I have a fold up fire pit that I had folded and in its case, set under my pin box. Did not think it was a big deal, as it was new and never used. The ranger, at 0230, sure thought so. So I was out there putting it away.....lol. Nothing big or that upsets me (it was my fault) but it never fails, you go out barefoot, "real quick" and find that one sharp stick or rock in the dark. Then you start doing a one foot rain dance, talking in tongues while the little 4'9" female ranger laughs her butt off at you and you wife is shushing you (cause your gonna wake the neighbors up) through the window as she is still in a cozy bed.... Haaaaaa...too funny, true but funny.

Good thing is that someone new arrives every day and if you watch you get to see them do it too. Or do what I have done and had done to me. Bring an old pan with you and set it by your buddy's trailer and watch him do the dance and try to explain to the ranger it is not his. Very funny at 2AM
