Boulder County Fairgrounds

 Not quite the same as a state park, not so scenic,…but still it works well for us. We’re right in the middle of a small town with bike trails that (normally) connect us to 50 or 100 miles of bicycle trails all over the region.  Unfortunately, all the bicycle trails near or crossing rivers got washed out in the recent flood.  Nothing connects to anything anymore.  Mostly, trails are blocked off. There is a lot to see here, but we’ll have to see it all a little bit at a time, this time. 

I’m worried about Sunday’s Broncos game

 They’re playing the undefeated Chiefs on Sunday, and Peyton’s knee and ankle hurt.  I’m worried the Chiefs will be mean to him. The next three games are pretty much the season for the Broncos.  It will be great if they win, but if they lose to the Chiefs they’ll be two games back in their division.  Then they go play New England the next week, and the Chiefs again the week after.  At the end of these three weeks, the Broncos could be in total control or they could be totally screwed. We’ve moved north to Longmont by Becky for a few days.https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=205131835882428706345.0004eac8c9eefa867949b&msa=0   

The weather has been fantastic this trip

 Beautiful warm calm days.  T-shirt weather.  The temperature drops like a rock at night and the furnace runs practically nonstop.  The next day dawns bright and cold and warms right back up again.It’s invigorating. Magpies galore. …and a pair of Cackling Geese in with all the Canada Geese.
