Lake Colorado City State Park

 

Wow.  We went outside at 79 degrees this morning.  Brr!  We haven’t been outside below 80 degrees in a month.

 

Highway 83 North.  Bear left at Eden.  Now we’re 470 miles into this trip.  105 degrees (but it’s a dry heat).  We’ll check for birds later.

 

 

I’ve *borrowed* some lines, from one of those multi-forwarded emails that makes the rounds, to describe the paradigm shift travelling from Texas to Colorado.

 

In Texas, you can rent a movie and buy bait in the same store.  'Y'all' is singular and 'all y'all' is plural.  'He needed killin'' is a valid defense.  Everyone has 2 first names.  Everything is either 'in yonder,' 'over yonder' or 'out yonder' and it's important to know the difference.


In Colorado, You carry your $3,000 mountain bike atop your $500 car.  You tell your husband to pick up Granola on his way home so he stops at the day care center.  A pass does not involve a football or dating.  The top of your head is bald, but you still have a pony tail.

 

Life on the road.

Tomorrow…  North.
