about fucking time.
i was definitely due. everything about my flight to atlanta went well today. showed up exactly an hour before the flight time, no line at ticketing, no line at security, the tram showed up as i walked toward it, i got an exit row seat...and...AND....my gate was the very first gate! never, not once in my life has this happened....but get this, my bags, when i went to collect them, came out back to back near the front of the herd. icing on the cake.
the only problem was the guy sitting next to me wouldn't stop talking to me. it's my fault. i should've told him that i wasn't accepting friend applications at this moment.
i just got back from colorado this week. i was staying at this ranch that the owner is trying to make into an elite neighborhood/wealthy-man's-playground. a plot of land there costs 2 million. i thought it was great, and they had really great amenities, but i gotta be honest. give me $2 million and i'm going to not only find a plot of land to build on, but that shit is gonna have a house too. colorado is great, but i can find other land for other prices.
we made a fun little skit involving one of our technical editors dressed up in a gorilla suit running around the woods (think: vintage bigfoot video from way back) trying to create the world's first fly line and hook. i had a good time shooting it, and the guys were all good sports. i'm not sure i got all the jokes, but i typically only get my own anyway.
take a look at this picture.
you see this road? we drove this road going south toward denver. here's what i'm thinking...
denver has a lot of nice straight roads. apparently that's a problem. there must've been a meeting at some point~~~~~~
hey uh, jim? gotta sec?
sure, wagner, what's up?
well, it turns out that we have a lot of straight roads, see?
sure.
yeah, vrable, you know vrable? back at the plant? well, long story short, we have an excess of U-turn signs.
...oh...
right. but not only that...
not only that?
yeah, you know that order from bixby scholastic? the school board guys?
...don't tell me...
yeah, the school for the vision impaired, it turns out that they're actually just blind.
...the "greater than" "less than" signs?
yeah, hundreds of them. what are we gonna do?
lemme think, we can fix this. ah! i got it! johnson is working on this road outside of town, another straighter... maybe we can get him these signs before he gets too far.
i don't know jim, i don't think this is gonna work..
shut up wagner goddammit! it'll work, johnson's a fucking genius. it'll have to work. listen: this is a major fuck-up...this...this sign surplus doesn't leave this room. we're gonna stick 'em on the mountain, no one will find out...no one will find out.

or something. that's my theory, that's what i'm going with.
