    Game of Thrones Season 3

    So maybe someone who is further along in the books can answer this... are the scenes with Theon being made up right now, or are they pulling them from later books? I'm maybe ~100 pages into A Feast for Crows.

    Game of Thrones Season 3

    I'm not sure how it is going to play out since they've already introduced Ser Barristan. Also, I haven't found some of the following to be as clear in the show up to this point as I found it in the book. The following is spoiler-ish through the end of A Storm of Swords...

    Chipotle FINALLY coming to Ames!

    I like Chipotle but I don't eat there as much anymore because it's too expensive for what you get... then again I got used to the one in Fort Collins that gave you a free drink if you showed a CSU student ID. Haven't found another one in any other college town yet that does that. There hot...

    Most snow you have ever experienced

    Colorado Holiday Blizzards (2006 I was living in Fort Collins when this happened. I was stranded two nights in the Denver Airport during Blizzard I. My return flight landed during Blizzard II and I ended up spending another night sleeping in the airport because of that. FC got a lot more...

    The 25 worst airports in America

    It's fine if you don't have to change airlines... I almost missed a flight because on a 1-hour layover I had to leave the terminal I was in to go into another terminal and go through security again. I've never had to do that at any other airport.

    Badlands/Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial

    I enjoyed it, too, I just don't think it's worth the money right now (or at least it wasn't 7 years ago). The museum has some nice stuff in it, and the monument will be awesome when it's actually finished, but there's just not much to do there.

    Badlands/Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial

    I tend to agree with this. Devil's Tower is impressive, but if you only have two days you're going to spend a significant chunk of one day driving over there, walking around, and driving back. Google Maps says it's only an hour and 15 minutes to DTNM from Deadwood, but I'm pretty sure it takes...

    Badlands/Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial

    Also, stay the hell away from Kadoka. That town is a ********. Ellsworth Air Force base in Rapid City is great for a visit too. They used to do surprisingly extensive tours of the place, but that may have changed somewhat after 9/11. I haven't been there since the 90s.

    Badlands/Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial

    As others have said, Custer State Park is impressive. If you're not all that into geology and just want to see some cool stuff, I suggest Jewel Cave over Wind Cave. Jewel is the second longest cave in the world. I also recommend doing the historical tour in addition to the scenic tour...

    Do you have I-State vanity plates?

    I had ISU plates until I moved to Arkansas. Now they hang on the wall of my apartment. I used to see a vehicle regularly around Fayetteville that had ISU plates, but don't remember what they said and I haven't seen it since last spring now. I've also seen a vehicle around town a couple of...

    Need help, Moving to Springfield, IL and need advice

    I can't read. I thought this said Springfield, MO when I read it last night. Although, I used to live kind of near Springfield, IL as well and still can't really help you with your question.

    Need help, Moving to Springfield, IL and need advice

    I can't help with most of your questions, but I can tell you that if you enjoy the outdoors there's a lot to do in this area. Plenty of reservoirs for boating if you're into that. The Buffalo River isn't that far from Springfield. It's one of the few undammed rivers in the lower 48, and it's...

    ARKANSAS Upset

    I'm now questioning whether the $85 I spent for a sports pass was worth it.

    Buying a mini-van - advice needed...

    This. A thousand times, this. I used to work in an auto parts store. Every transmission we sold fell into one of two categories: 1) Transmission sold to someone restoring an old GM or Ford muscle car (~30%) 2) Transmission sold to someone with a Chrysler/Dodge minivan (~70%).

    Where do you plan to retire?

    I'm a big fan of the Buffalo River - one of the few undammed rivers in the lower 48.

    Document scanning

    Adobe Acrobat can do what you're asking but if you prefer to acquire it through legal means it's kind of pricey (without an academic discount).

    Where do you plan to retire?

    We actually have nature here instead of an endless sea of corn and soybean fields. The warmer winters are also a plus (I saw less than an inch of snow last year). The northwest corner of Arkansas is just as normal as anywhere else. The stereotypes apply to some parts of the state, but we're...

    Found these bugs...Anyone know what they are?

    They're not termites. I still think they're some kind of small bee/wasp. I've never seen them hang out on a window like that, however.

    What are you finding them on?

    Where do you plan to retire?

    Except for Fayetteville sales tax, which is almost Chicago-level bad. That being said, I always thought I would head west again (Colorado, Wyoming, Montana) when retirement time comes around but I find that I really like it here. There's not enough money in the world to get me to move...
