Lots of road closures up here as we’re in a pattern of afternoon thunderstorms. When you have burn scars, which are areas where wildfires burned off all the vegetation, you have mudslides when you get a good rain. This is what’s been happening. In fact yesterday we had a brief road closure that Jag was stuck in when mud flowed over I-70 near Avon. He was on his way home from work in Vail.
Yesterday we had a nice day with Dixie. Lori had the nurse from the senior home come over and they all visited for a while so Dixie could learn more about Castle Peak. She also had a virtual appointment with her primary care doctor in Sacramento via Zoom. Later in the day Katie came up. She and Jag are going to Denver today to get Jag a haircut. I think they’re going to the Eagle County Fair tonight. Ty has been there the last two days or should I say nights. He came home last night around midnight as there was a party at Molly’s down the street.
I went to the hardware store and picked up some bird feed yesterday for our feeders. We’ve been out for a month or so. Now to the big resurge in covid. Turns out 249 people have died from the, as the news calls it, fast spreading Delta variant. According to my math that’s about 5 people per State. Not sure about you but is that really a lot of people? I get that if anyone you know passes away it’s tragic but come on, more than 5 people die every day per State just from old age! Don’t know about you but we’re not wearing a mask anymore. That’s why we got the stupid shot! Any place that requires a mask won’t get our business. They need to stop the politics when it comes to this mess. The reason lots of people don’t want the vaccine, besides it not being an actual vaccine, is from all the politics. You had Biden and Harris telling us they wouldn’t get the shot if Trump made it and now that they’re in office, they’re telling you TO get it. And they wonder why there is so called vaccine hesitancy. Look, some people get the flu shot, some people don’t. If you don’t want it, don’t get it, if you do, go ahead. Just stop the politics, and by the way, get rid of Fauci, nobody trusts or believes him anymore.
Ugh, that’s it, time to go, Dixie is up already. Lori and I’d like to go to the gym. Beautiful outside, no smoke anywhere. That’s it, make it a great day, God Bless.
