Fish pedicures: Carp rid human feet of scaly skin


[ snip ]


I just knew Herring would find a suitable retirement job.

I grew up in that area.


Do you think there is a connection between Alexandria, Virginia;
carp; feet, and your upbringing in that area?

Yeah, it has to do with an area that is wealthier than McLean and
Great Falls.


Whatever.


Don't believe me check it out yourself. From Alexandria south on the
parkway to Rt 1 is a very pricey area and has been for about 45 years.



Yes, I know. We have some friends that lived south of Alexandria in a
very tony area, What that has to do with a salon offering carp bowls for
removal of dead toe skin escapes my imagination.

Northern Virginia is just too damned congested these days for decent
quality of life. When I had my office on the edge of Alexandria, it took
me 15 minutes to drive over to a local coffee shop that was only three
miles away. I have a number of friends who live throughout Northern
Virginia. We meet in DC these days.

BTW, did you know the Springfield area of Fairfax County is pretty much
run over with MS-13 gang members these days?


You won't catch me moving to No. Va. again. When I move it will be East
until Assawoman Bay or South, 200 or more miles.

When we go out to the Shenandoah, I try to get through the Northern
Virginia portion of I-66 as quickly and quietly as possible. We start to
breathe a little easier once we are west of Manassas. Once in a while my
wife likes to shop at some of the stores at Tysons...I hate going
there...but there are three stores at that mall with some appeal for
me...restoration hardware, ll bean, and apple. I usually can kill enough
time to match up with my wife's shopping. If it going to be a really
long day, I head over to Microcenter, but, nowadays, if I need computer
stuff, I hit the Microcenter store on Rockville Pike.

We still like Virginia Beach, but we head down there through southern
Maryland, and avoid the Virginia I-95 and Richmond messes.

We're looking at some second home possibilities in the Hilton Head to
Savannah areas. The problem is, it is one hell of a long drive. Flying
is a possibility, but the airports in that area are dinky, and so are
the planes. We like St. Simons Island in Georgia, but it is awfully far
from just about everything and living there would probably drive me bonkers.

Bull****. Savannah's airport handles all types of heavy passenger
aircraft, and is quite busy because of military bases in the area.

When I want the opinion of an uneducated, semi-literate idiot, I'll
let you know. I flew into Savannah recently, and have done so about a
half dozen times. It's a dinky airport.

Savannah, though, is a very nice city.


Ohhhh, now I understand what you are looking for in a city. A city with
really big airport buildings. I thought you meant an airport that was
serviced on a regular basis by large planes. Savannah can handle and
has regular service by carriers using 727 etc, but the airport building
themselves are not as big as Atlanta, Chicago or NYC. You really do
have unique requirements for places to live. How big is the airport in
Costa Rica?



From where I live, Savannah is "served" mainly by the puddle-jumping
"partners" of the major airlines. The major airlines are crappy
enough...their "partners" are far worse.

United Express, operated by Mesa Airlines
US Airways Express
Delta, via "Freedom" Airlines
AirTran, from the wonderful folks who brought you ValuJet

Now, there are a couple of mainstays sprinkled about, but the majority
of the schedules indicate Savannah is a minor regional airport, just as
I described it.

As for the rest of your schitty opinion, well, you deserve the
usual...go foch yourself.

Why should St. Simons be any different then everywhere else you have
lived. You have been bonkers ever since you started logging into
rec.boats. My guess is you were this way since birth.
