Running from Fire!


September 22, 2020, Estes Park is under mandatory evacuation due to being practically surrounded by several fast moving forest fires. Here we are driving down Hwy 34 toward Loveland in the darkness at 2 pm. Air not fit to breathe and ash falling on everything. 

We will head on out to Houston.

Poor Forgotten Blog


A long long time ago, in a world far far away, I started a blog (it was a popular thing to do in 2011).  As I was enjoying my last year of employment and then my first year of retirement, I was quite diligent about posting to this blog. But then life happened and, frankly, after all these 9 years of retirement I had forgotten all about it.  One day recently I was just surfing along and went to some artist’s blog on Google. Behold, there was a little window at the bottom that showed my blog. I was amazed that it was all still there. The Cloud must indeed be a limitless thing to hold all these random rantings of so many for so long.  Anyway I thought I would add a few updates as comments and share it again. In these COVID times a bit of diversion may be cheery for some. After all, maybe there are others like me who have finished watching all of  Netflix. 

2019 A Good Year for Travel

In 2019 we took several trips  Colorado as usual, but also Arizona, Davis Mountains, and Europe (a 50th Anniversary Viking Riverboat Cruise).  It was fortuitous that we got some retirement travel under our belts because 2020 was to be a travel bust for sure.  Stay home and stay safe became our motto.
