Man am I tired. Minturn is sparkling clean with everything white. Now I need to clean it and then in goes the carpet. Denver was quick. I was in and out by 10:30. Jag was about 2 hours behind me. He went down to get a haircut and then stopped and saw Tommy. Tom sent him home with one of the old red and white Fugate Ranch/No Trespassing signs for me. What a treasure.
Now to a couple of important dates I forgot. The 10th was the 10 year anniversary of Dad passing. Can’t believe I forgot it and I really can’t believe it’s been 10 years. Also yesterday was Lori’s dad, Bob’s birthday. Maybe they’re fishing somewhere together up in the sky.
Today we have more of the same. Work, work and more work. The smoke up here is bad, especially at night. The closest is 4800 acres in Glenwood Canyon. The afternoon winds whip it up every day. It’ll be hot for the next three days with no rain in sight. Then there’s 30,000 acres burning down near Grand Junction. You can’t get to Aspen or Grand Junction or anywhere west of here as the highway has been shut down for a few days now. It’s about a four hour detour to get around it.
On tv the non stop political ads are everywhere. Our former Gov is a crook who said he never would want to be a Senator. Of course he said that while running for President. Now he’s all in. A former bar owner, he’s a liar and tax cheat who was caught. Only in today’s climate can someone like this still run for office. Lots of people are stupid enough to vote for him too I’m sure. His opponent should win in a landslide but people are ignorant and have short memories and sadly believe everything they see on tv. That’s why all the non stop ads.
Time to get moving as our builder is here in 90 minutes to fix some things. Be well and safe and God Bless.
