Outside it’s cloudy and wet. The rain has been pretty much coming down steady since yesterday afternoon. Not super hard, but steady. Thunder and lightning were the theme of the night. Haven’t seen much lightning since last night, but the thunder has been booming on a regular basis. This was a big deal to the Plains Indians and had lots of meaning. I have tons of books on that if anyone is interested. Lori said there was even a high-altitude tornado in Colorado, down near Cripple Creek at 9000 feet. That’s rare.
Yesterday we deep cleaned the house. Our cleaners just are not that good or thorough. Think we’ll stop using them. I talked to Robin yesterday. They’re in Fort Worth staying at the Drover Hotel, which is a great place. It’s right in the middle of the Stock Yards which is where everything happens. They were headed to dinner and then the rodeo last night.
Today we’re going to the gym and then are having coffee with Eleni. At 11, the Broncos are on tv. Tom and I will for sure be watching. Not sure what else is going on.
Don’t be fooled by the Kamala hype. Turns out they’re hiring actors to come to their events. She also now says she’s in favor of no taxes on tips. Hmm, that was Trump’s idea about two months ago. What a mess, God help us if she wins. The media machine is doing all they can to promote and protect her. That should tell you who to vote for right there. People need to vote policy, not personality. All you have to do is decide which you liked best, the last 4 years, or the 4 years before that. Not that hard people.
Rain just stopped and a strong gust of wind blew the clouds out so now we have patches of blue lit up by the early morning sun. Love the mountains!
Time to go. 7am now. We slept in. There’s something about a good rainstorm and thunder that makes you sleep better. God Bless.
