The windIt was blowing hard and not very warm. Not inviting weather for a walk outside, so I drove to the local rec center. They have racquetball courts there. There were racquetball players there too. Several of them were nice enough to invite me to play. I was rusty and it was a slow start for me, but I warmed up and did respectably. Each game it seemed like I had a chance. I don’t remember the last time I played. I think it’s been over a year. Most of my exercise is slow and steady now; nothing like the bursts of racquetball. An hour and a half left me winded. I suspect tomorrow and the day after I’m going to be feeling the pain I used to take such great pleasure inflicting.
Sports
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.
Along the way
Oh lord. Won’t you buy me, a Mer-ce-dez Benz.
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.
