Washington is fine, Oregon is fine, also getting a bit pricey.  I've still never been to Paso.

There are a number of wineries in north Georgia now.  Some make OK wine, but in my view, it's $10 wine and they charge $20 for it.  They are more tourist attractions now than actual wineries.

Napa has gotten way out of control IMHO, Sonoma is headed that way fast.
Yep. Still, it's very nice. I like Healdsburg. It's right on the edge of the Dry Creek Valley area, where they make the best Zins I've ever had.

Based on what I've seen at the resort pool, the current trend in bikini bottoms is to show a prodigious amount of cheek. 

Not a complaint; just FYI, in case anyone's thinking of heading to a resort any time soon.

I saw some of those when traveling, fortunately on females, not males, and young females who were not obese.  There is a lady in our bldg who sunbathes by the pool which is visible from the elevator lounge who wears a thong thingee, and she's not all that attractive.

I guess it doesn't  take many yards of fabric these days to cover the necessaries just "barely"....

Walk out to my buildings’ pool deck and you’ll see the same thing. Gonna be a long summer of working/reading by the pool.

This is what most folks go to see in Savannah, "River Street", filled now with shops and bars etc.  I can 
(barely) recall as a kid seeing it derelict and the historic district being basically slums, you didn't want to be anywhere near here.

So, progress, of a sort.  Some of it was torn down to build a quite ugly Marriot.  It's a "see once" kind of place, not in July/August.  Places that are kind of neat for a bit turn hard touristy if they attract people, it's inherent in the US, not so much in Europe.
