HashtagGirlboss posted:It’s pretty amazing when you get somewhere dark and clear enough to see the whole spread. Just phenomenal. When I went to Hawaii’s big island and transversed the saddle road at 1am I couldn’t help but just stop on the side of the road and stare. It really is like the high quality night sky photos when you’re somewhere like that the only thing I miss about the navy is the night sky in the middle of the ocean

CRUSTY MINGE posted:Probably should have said beforehand, the valley is a weird loving place. Linda Moulton Howe (Ancient Aliens) got her big break in the 70s reporting animal mutilations out here. As such, there's a big UFO community vibe. Lots of people living in 50 year old trailers miles away from town. A lot of alternative religion types out in Crestone. There's an alligator preserve. The great sand dunes. The San Juans and Sangre de Cristos. Wetlands, farms, hot springs (one with clothing optional days), forests and a desert. I drove through there a few years ago and wanted to stop at the UFO stuff but didn't have time. It's weird how long it takes to drive from one side of the valley to the other, even though you can see across the whole way.

E-W/W-E (South Fork -Ft Garland) is about 90 minutes if you don't get stuck behind a camper/RV. N-S I haven't done yet. Coming off Rt 50 to 285 south to the border is about 2 hours, but the valley extends to NM. Rt 50 is loving amazing from Cañon City to Poncha Springs. One of the best drives here, follows the Arkansas river, just stunning views and apparently good fishing. If you have time to kill and are passing through Colorado, take Rt 50.

I'm trying to time when to drive up to Creede for leaf change. Probably next week or the week after. Then I'm going to Pagosa Springs the week following. There's definitely some families out here that are too close. Also the amish.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:the new thing in leases is apparently requiring tenants to pay for new appliances and poo poo. SoCal has the innovation that unfurnished apartments often come without a fridge. So each moving day is just that much more complicated as you move refrigerators around and hope yours is the right size for the next place you'll be at. Also you have to buy one when you move to your first, which is always fun.

i'm paying about half the market rate for a two bedroom ~900 sq ft apartment and have been here eight years now with them only raising the rent by $50 once. there's always a couple open units here and the place hasn't had real work done on it in over 30 years so i think that's the major factor. on the one hand, it's great, but on the other the place is kind of a dump, but on the other if i were to buy the cheapest piece of poo poo 1100 sq ft sfh in my town my monthly housing cost would triple, so guess i'm renting!

I'm always scared to make maintenance requests because the landlord obviously uses them as excuses to raise the rent. A bunch of stuff rotted last year, so we had to ask for repairs, and then the landlord increased our rent more than she ever has before.

At my current place, my annual increases have been under 1 percent for the last four years.

I made a deal with my landlord that I'd maintain the landscaping in exchange for lower rent, and she agreed. A few months later when we renewed our lease she simply raised the rent back to where it'd been before. So now I'm cutting the lawn for free basically.

I have actually maintained it as a low-mow lawn with some wildflowers mixed in, but she still pitched a fit the one time she drove by. I actually wanted to do the landscaping myself. The part I'm annoyed with is the immediate rent increase.
