Life on the River

 

The Colorado River.  Peaceful and quiet.

Peaceful and quiet.  Unless it’s a weekend.  Then the jet skis and big boats are out.

It’s hardly fair that the river water is so beautiful here.  Clear and green and cool.  All the rivers in Colorado, including this one, are blown this time of year; churning brown in an effort to erode all the Rocky Mountains into the Pacific.  It’s our brown river in Colorado, but apparently all the silt drops out before it gets to Arizona and California.  Must be all those dams along the way.

 

Hot and sweaty.  Even with the low humidity.  It’s triple digits every day.  I hiked in the desert on Saturday and Sunday, but stayed in all day at the computer today.  We’re on the ground floor, so I ran around in the hotel room in the air conditioning when it was time for exercise.  I probably hardly annoyed anyone.
