They never scored a touchdown today, but the Broncos Poncho eked out a win.

It has been a long hot summer. 80 degree mornings are fine for sitting outside on the deck, but high 90s during the rest of the day can wear a person down. We’ve been waiting for months for the heat to break so we could be more comfortable for more of the day. I guess we got our first real cold front on Thursday. We woke up to low 60s, and it never made it out of the 60s all day long. I didn’t like it. I stayed inside.
It got better again the very next day though. High 80s and low 90s since then. Just right.
Each morning we watch for raptor migrations. Today was turkey vultures. Several hundred of them glided past us, headed south, as we were having coffee.

Every time we vote, after the political offices, we get a list of judges to vote for. Who knows anything about judges? On what do I base any decision about judges? I don’t think I’m going to work my way through the list, watching each one work to see if I like them or not. There is a distinction between the judges though. Each one has an R or a D by their name. I can pick the judges I want, by political party. Does that make any sense? Shouldn’t we be picking judges by their understanding and application of the law and the constitution? What does their political party have to do with that?
