Our cowboys got hammered by new England. Mercifully, no Broncos game this week. Now we get to bounce between the rockies and seahawks (mostly Rockies). Go Rockies! Go Hawks!

Las vegas

We got the juncos and sparrows sorted out. Gray headed, pink sided, and oregon juncos. White crowned, savannah, and chipping sparrows. Got some canyon towhees and scrub jays too.

Las vegas

We weren’t anxious to leave Durango, but time to move on. Las Vegas…. New Mexico, that is. Winding back highways through gorgeous southern Colorado and northern New Mexico un the fall. A slow scenic day. We’re settled in for a week at one of our favorite campgrounds; welcomed back by name, and fed dinner at the KOA café. Instant friends to share a table with. It’s good to be back. The Rockies won another game. Late last night (early this morning actually), the Diamondback pitcher walked in the winning run in the 11th. Painful for the snakes, but too bad it wasn’t a home game for the Rockies. They could have gotten a walk-off walk. A very birdy place here. Swarms of juncos and sparrows in the short grass field next to us.
We’ll have a good time getting them all sorted out.

Iron gator update

We like our RV spot on the beach on the Texas coast so much; we jumped at the chance when we got an opportunity to buy a spot on a golf course in the same area. We got in so early; they were still pushing around sand and brush and digging out lakes. They got a lot done, but not enough to keep the money man happy. They were delayed all summer by a lot more rain than they normally get down there. Apparently, the money guy behind the project had enough, called a halt, and took his equipment away. The project is dead in the water. We don’t know if it’s going to start up again or not. Guess we just have to wait and see. We’ve already closed on the lot, but our money is still in escrow at the title company. We may have to apply to get it back for now. We’re hoping the project comes back to life and eventually we get our spot on the golf course, but we won’t be staying there this winter. Guess Judy doesn’t get her golf cart this year either.
