Lathrop

We’re on the move again.

Dinner and laundry at Becky’s house. A visit with Matt and the boys on the way out. A drive south on Interstate 25 in the wind. A stop for the night at Lathrop State Park in some weather.

A good sports day. Colorado beat third ranked Oklahoma in Boulder. That makes Colorado number two, doesn’t it? If a person was interested in baseball, the Rockies would be fun to watch. They’ve won something like 11 out of their last 12 games; fifteen games or so over 500; but they have to win their remaining games and the Padres have to lose theirs for the Rockies to have a shot at the wildcard spot in the playoffs. Tonight the Rockies are ahead 11 to 1. The Padres lost in eleven today. They both play games again tomorrow.

Go Rockies.

Now the Broncos…. Yesterday’s newspaper announced their strategy for tomorrow’s game against the Colts. They mean to make Manning throw the ball. Nice strategy Broncos. How bad could Peyton Manning hurt you throwing the ball?

Tomorrow, we head for Cortez. We’ll go west on highway 160, through Alamosa, the San Luis Valley, South Fork, over Wolf Creek Pass, through Pagosa Springs, and Durango. If we leave early, we should be able to catch all of the afternoon Bronco game.
