Sophie sends a little “hello” all the way from Ottawa, Canada.
She said she’s been a big fan of the Vaily Daily ever since she set eyes on Ryan in “The Bachelorette.” “Your Town Talk articles are very entertaining. I especially like one about ABC’s “Bachelorette” (in which we referred to her as Trista “If I Only Had A Brain” Rehn, which we’re told was pretty mean, and we promised not to do it anymore, unless we were forced to do it again today, and obviously we were).
Sophie says she might take a little trip down to Vail and see what this little town has to offer. “So far so good,” she said. “Good newspaper, great scenery and dreamy guys!”

While we’re not getting nearly the response the Vail Fire Department is, the e-mail at Town Talk Towers is still lighting up.
We wrote this before Wednesday’s gripping episode, so we don’t know whether or not Ryan gets his rose.
We do know this. The “winner” of Trista’s affections gets a marriage proposal. Everything we’ve seen and been told leads us to one piece of advice for Ryan: Even if you win, run! Run like the wind. At well above the posted speed limit!”
This Trista person is not for you. This is a person who walked into the Vail firehouse, was surrounded by manly guys and immediately began making them a salad.
A salad!?!
These are real men, running real lifesaving equipment with real lives at stake, not to mention the thousands of horsepower packed into one of those trucks.
We can’t have Our Guys trying to save lives while their hands quiver from hunger pangs, because of lack of proper nutrition.
These are Real Men running Real Men Equipment, and they cannot do it under the influence of ruffage! Get those men a steak!
Movin’ right along.
