Scartlet B's - Moving!!

Lila and I went to Scarlet Begonias two nights ago, we turned into park in the gravel lot to the right of Cote's and discovered that it had been turned into a new set of empty buildings! We were dissapointed to discover the easy parking option gone, but managed to find a spot on mainstreet.

After a great meal, and a little chit chat with Sallie, we learned that Scarlet B's is moving into one of those new buildings! They are going to have table service and a full bar!

They are either moving/opening october 1st!

While I'm happy that they are doing well enough to faciliate a move to a bigger and better space, I will miss the small feel and charm of the old restaurant. I remarked to a friend that "the nice thing about scarlet b's is when you are done, you're done! You've already paid! No fussing over the check, just smile, say goodbye, and go!"

Unlucky Fisherman

First... I snapped the tip off of one of my spinning rods in the car window. Naturally, I just rolled that window right up... Shimano doesn't cover that, duh... So that's one rod down. Two days later, I'm fishing in this river and my feet start to feel funny. As if I'm not standing on something flat (like the inside of a shoe). I ignore it, thinking that it is just the river rock underfoot. A few minutes later, I realize that the boots on my waders have just disintegrated. Like literally feel to pieces.

Once again, Sierra Trading Post came to the rescue, the new waders arrive today. Perhaps a Customer Service Rep will find this positive feedback and leave a comment again!
