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.- Hide quoted text -

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.

Uh, Savannah isn't a "minor regional airport". It's an international
airport. Just because your local airport of choice isn't serviced
well, doesn't mean that Savannah is a minor regional airport.
And, US Airways, not express offers non-stop to Washington Reagan, and
there are many major airlines that can get you there with a change of
planes, non of which are puddle jumpers, but common carrier aircraft.

I wonder if you can get to Hilton Head's International Airport with a
direct flight from Harry's preferred airport.

Oh wait, Savannah is the largest airport serving Hilton Head. Never mind.

If Gulfstream wasn't headquartered in Savannah that airport wouldn't
support much more than a Cessna 182.



I've flown into and out of the airport serving Savannah at least a half
dozen times over the years. It's a small "regional" airport, not the
smallest or crummiest, just small.

I don't understand why the two Georgian troll brothers,
Loogy-between-the-Ears and Repulsive-Putrid-Schitt, are working so hard
to defend the airport. It serves its market and if it were a lot larger,
it would just encourage more growth in that part of the state. That's no
advantage.

One would hope it would never become another Atlanta airport, which gets
my vote for the worst large airport in the United States. It exists as
it is only for the convenience of the airlines, and once you are there,
if you are not changing planes, where are you? In Atlanta. Puke.

I work hard when I fly to avoid the Atlanta airport.

Well I guess you are will never find that perfect place.

Reminds me of a story about a farmer sitting on his front porch, during
the early 1900's A man in a wagon loaded down with all of his
belongings, stops and come up to the farmer. He asked the farmer what
the people of the town are like. The farmer replies, "well son, what
were they like where you came from. The traveler says, well that is why
I am moving, the people were rude, self centered, assholes. The farmer
said, "well they are about the same way here". So the traveler got back
in his wagon and continued heading west.

A few days later, another man come by, his wagon loaded with all of his
belongings, and he asked the same question. Again the farmer replied
"well son, what were they like where you moved from". The traveler got
a tear in his eye, said "That was the hardest part about moving West, is
we are leaving some of the nicest, most helpful and concerned neighbors
anyone could ask for". The farmer smiled back and said "Son, I think
you will find the people here are about the same".

Harry, have you ever noticed that no matter where you go, everyone is an
asshole?

Regarding airports.............when traveling to Boston I always
preferred to fly into Providence, RI vs Boston Logan. I always hated
to fly into Chicago and would drive their foregoing the flight.

I never had a problem with Atlanta and it's airport although it is not
a place I would choose to live.


Harry, have you ever noticed that no matter where you go, everyone is an

I think Tom stated the same thing about drivers in Virginia. He made
a similar comment about folks in another State some months back. I
missed your post to Tom asking that same question. ;-)

BTW: Does John Herring live in Virginia?
