Millions of people were seduced into buying homes they couldn’t really afford. Now millions of foreclosures, millions of families being displaced, and the personal financial tragedies do not constitute a crisis. No government help to save them. It’s the free-market economy at work. They shouldn’t have bought homes they couldn’t afford. Now the companies that behaved so irresponsibly as to create the problem are in trouble, and they are so big that the economy will get wrecked if they go under. Now we have a financial crisis the government has to deal with. Things go bad and individuals pay the price. The largest corporations in the country behave irresponsibly, make untold amounts of money, things go bad, and they get bailed out by the government (which happens to be a collection of the same individuals that just got burned). We blame the victims and bail out the perpetrators at the expense of the victims again? It can’t really be this circular, can it?

A weekend walk at the Audubon Center outside town.
Along the way
This bus was our neighbor for a day at Grizzly RV Park. Check out the cool paint job. It makes us look absolutely plain……. but then for an extra two million dollars above what we paid for our coach, it should stand out.
Along the way
Lunch stop in New Mexico. Same place we stopped last year.
Santa Fe
From Durango back to Pagosa Springs, but a right turn on Highway 84 before Wolf Creek Pass. Fade south into New Mexico through rolling forests. Northern New Mexico Magic. Past the steam train station in Chama. South through Espanola to Santa Fe. We’re not in our usual spot here at Santa Fe Skies. We’re over on the hill on the other side. That’s it for Colorado. We’re working our way south. No pictures of fall colors this year. High country desert now.
