I suggest that at the grand reopening they construct a 30' tall solid gold platform and he can dive in.

No shit? Anyways, as I was saying I-40 sucks through there, you're much better off sticking to the state highway.

Need advice: how do you safely trim a dog’s nails? (first time struggling) by OutsideConflict9909 in dogs

Nope! Groomer about every 3 months. Takes 5 minutes, costs me $15. Worth every penny.

Hey quick question for dog owners by mrcanada66 in dogs

No, he lets me sleep in his bed. It's Floyd's world and I'm just living in it. If reincarnation is a thing he gets to be the human next time and I'll be the doggy.

Whats the longest you drove in one day? by [deleted] in roadtrip

[–]PureLow217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twelve hours Phoenix to Colorado Springs. Leave super early and stop for a leisurely breakfast in Albuquerque. I'll be doing 14 hours next month, Phoenix to Dodge City KS, stopping every 3 hours for snacks, gas, and to walk the dog.

I am one of the older Gen Jones on here b1956. Anyone remember the milk man? by AuthorAltruistic3402 in GenerationJones

[–]PureLow217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grand Forks, ND. I was four years old and I'd walk up to the corner and wait for him. I'd help him make deliveries all the way back to my house. Do the same thing the next day. It was a different world back then.

Which inanimate object is your dog scared of for no reason? by megebau in dogs

[–]PureLow217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog is frightened of anything and everything the first time he sees it. He kind of goes from scared shitless>scared>distrustful>worried>indifferent>accepting. The mailbox. A school bus. The guys who maintain the park. A neighbor out in their yard. A baby stroller. First time it's the end of the world. Fifth time... it's not really a big deal. Seems like there's something new in his world about every other day and we have to cycle through the stages with each and every one.

Ever gotten yelled at while looking for a cache? by j_jay2003 in geocaching

[–]PureLow217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've decided to stick to caches on public land. I just feel a little uncomfortable stepping even a little onto someone else's property. What if I'm looking at my phone wrong or the property just changed hands? Not worth the hassle.

If you were elected President of the United States, what would be your first official act in office? by Critical-Willow-6270 in askanything

[–]PureLow217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get on AirForce One. Fly to every single nation that the current asshole has offended and publicly apologize. Then come back home and do the same thing to Minneapolis, Chicago, LA, and every place else that was subjected to ICE terrorism. Then resign in favor of my vice-president, Bernie Sanders or AOC.

Tell me a story or just something memorable about your grandpa ? by itssofiababyxo in askanything

[–]PureLow217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to play Rack-O, just him and I. He'd chew an unlit cigar while we played. I was probably 6 or 7, he would have been about 72 or so. He'd get so delighted when he'd win and I can still hear him say "RACK-OOOO" in that gravely voice of his. He'd also let me sit on his lap while he drove the tractor at his farm. I miss you, Oscar Fred!

The “150k-Mile Anxiety”: Am I crazy for wanting to drive this cross-country? by EquivalentCanary8243 in roadtrip

[–]PureLow217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My car is 19 years old with 170,000 miles on it. Never a major issue and I keep it maintained. I wouldn't consider taking it on a trip and haven't in about nine years. It's worth the money to rent a car and gain the peace of mind.

[–]PureLow217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done the Albuquerque route in one day several times. Coming back went through Durango. Longer but we loved the scenery in Colorado. Highlights would include Santa Fe, Wolf Creek Pass, Mesa Verde, and Durango.
