drunk driving
"Your Honor:
I plead not guilty.
I did not see a light; and besides ~ there is no light on that corner.
I checked the next morning........ "
Now here's a hard core drinker and one tough Dodge truck.
The driver hit the left turn light and sheared off the light post at the base, and
then kept driving on about 2 miles to Squires Four Pub, where he stopped for
more beer!! How impaired do you have to be to NOT notice that you are carrying
a stop light? ( I Wonder if the light was green? )
The truck was towed about 2.5 miles to the Vernon towing yard, with the light
still pinched between the two tow hooks and the bumper bent around it
It took several good hard pulls with a backhoe to get the pole free."

overlook
Well, we survived P's first formal dance. lol. Met the guy she wanted to go with. He's really nice. brought her a dozen roses and he bakes! lol. he brought some bannana nut bread. really good! After the dance they came back to our place and we all sat around watching movies and talking until 2am. must be he didn't think we were too crazy. On Sunday we went for a hike. had to get some fresh air one last time before the week's grind starts again. This one is to an overlook of the town.
Homecomng parade
Homecoming parade was on Friday. P's school let them all out early an bussed them to town to participate or watch. Depending on who had float assignment. P was in the crowds... It was neat to have a parade in town for all the town to come out and watch. Remembering back, lol, our school had the floats during half time at the game. There was a pretty good turn out. Had the normal stuff.. people throwing candy to the kids, marching band. local characters...

Today's edition is sponsored by the letter "i" and number 9 - lol!
According to numerologists, The number nine holds a special ranking. It is associated with forgiveness, compassion and success on a positive note. On the other side we have self righteousness and arrogance.
- just fun with numbers for me. enjoy it, it's the last time we'll have single repeating digits for at least another century. Mark the calendars for January 1 2101

We took a motorcycle ride up Fall River rd over the weekend. some of the leaves are starting to change to yellow. The early morning hours are cooler. in te 40's now. Had a heavy dew on the jeep this morning.

Washboard clouds
Glenwood Springs Canyon
The rains have let up. We have a stray t-storm maybe once a week now. The Rivers are going back down to a lower level. Temperatures are still warm. it's 78 and we have a hazy sun out today. There are some large wildfires in California, Arizona & Utah that are causing a smoky haze to hang around. Even all the way down into Denver. Someone on the news was being interviewed as saying they could smell it. Hmm, I don't find that it's that strong here. I think they're on something.
Traveling out to western Colorado today. Took a picture in Glenwood springs Canyon. The water level has dropped a lot from earlier this spring. Noticed that some of the bushes have started to get a yellow tint - fall is coming.
Happy 1st day of September!
