Speaking of weather. Here we are, stranded in the sun in the desert, while
the front range of Colorado is being hammered by a blizzard. Strong wind
and heavy snow. The blizzard of '05, and we're missing it. We tune into
front-range television to check on it. It looks ugly for anyone who has to
go outside. Blizzards are fun to watch from indoors.
It's an upslope storm, so it's mostly an eastern slope of the Rockies thing.
The wind comes around from the east and pushes everything up against the
mountains. It's an eastern slope thing, but there are chain laws in effect
as far west as Vail Pass. Granddaughter Taylor is scheduled to leave on a
weeklong camp tomorrow morning. That's not going to happen. The storm is
supposed to blow all day today and all night tonight. The camp for Taylor
is going to have to wait. It is in Moab, where we are right now. She can't
get here.
