“Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?”

I’m back.
Two days. 2400 miles, split between flying to (2½ hours) and driving back from (18½ hours) Oklahoma (…where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain!). It was good to see Adam and Chelsea, who are now on their way to California; he reports for duty this week.
Western Kansas + eastern Colorado = LOTS of nothing to see. Unless you are big into agriculture, then it’s a veritable cornucopia of things to pique your interest. Unfortunately, I don’t fall into that category, so it didn’t do much for me. And, I missed seeing a good portion of Kansas – from Salina to Kanorado (and no, I didn’t make that name up) – because it was dark. I kept trying to remember some of the places where I stopped when I drove out here eight years ago. That’s an interesting note: It was eight years ago, to the weekend, that I first made the drive out to Utah. Granted, in ’98, I got here on Saturday night, not Sunday… but I’m not going to quibble over that point.
The drive out of Denver, however, was nice. The foliage was changing colors. The yellows were vibrant on the mountain- and cliffsides. I think that I have confirmed that my favorite color is red – I kept looking for red leaves while driving. I didn’t see any. I saw trees with rust and bronze colored leaves. I even saw a few that were creeping towards orange. But, no reds. I admit that I was more than “a little” disappointed by that.
Stray Toasters
- I heard a new version (to me) of Save the Last Dance for Me last night. It’s apparently done by Michael Bublè; I’ll have to check out more of his stuff – I like it.
- As October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I think that this is an interesting idea: Pink for October
- I saw this cartoon….
….before I posted this link. It’s even more amusing to me now. - Committee to decide whether or not to allow boys to urinate standing up
- Looking for a little taste of Casino Royale before the movie comes out next month? YouTube has a sample (with video) of Chris Cornell’s You Know My Name, the movie’s theme.
Namaste.
