The Coffee House

5.25 hours today and for the week so far.
Went for propane. About to go hit the PO and then the box at the front of the neighborhood and then home.

What on earth is wrong with some people, as just seen on the news that a family ( 7 ) of Swans were shot and killed

I don't know, what is wrong with people? good grief.

Been watching coverage off and on about Pres. Bush most of the day, the flight out of Texas, arrival at Andrews, motorcade to the Capitol. Seems like we just did this, when was the last time they had a state funeral before McCain, Reagan maybe?

Otherwise my dad who was in rehab was released but couldn't manage at home and went back to rehab, so been looking into assisted living options. Since his fall we've been talking about them moving, just a matter of figuring out where they want to go. That big 2 story house of theirs is about the most inconvenient innaccessible place! Will be glad when it all gets figured out.

Sad day for us as we learned yesterday evening that my 97 yr young Father in law passed unexpectedly. Thankfully we spent an enjoyable couple days just last week visiting with him. Life is to short for the good guys. He was a decorated veteran of WWII, and all around great person.

Sorry to hear your news but I hope I am still around at 97....

True that. He was actually in decent health. He had trouble swallowing as a result of a fall that broke his neck, crushed his larynx, and damaged the muscles in his neck four years ago. He fell forward and caught a steel rail straight to the neck. He apparently got food lodged in his throat and they couldn't get it out in time.

Some folk think it might be down to people who go fishing, kill the Swans so they can get the fish first, all very sad really and hope they catch who did it.

 

[vintagesnaps]

What losers.

 

[vintagesnaps]

Smoke, sorry to hear that. Condolences.

It's just about my bedtime y'all. Have as nice of a Tuesday as you can!

Just a quick check in.

Walked a lot yesterday, and touched the flatirons (mountains); got a pano of peaks along the great divide, and a shot of a “celebrity” house. I’ll post some after dinner.

It snowed a little last night (dusting, even by DC standards).

Two lessons learned: drink lots of water due to the elevation, and Boulder can be a real cheap drunk, for the same reason.

Sorry to hear that, Smoke.

That's repulsive.

My condolences to you and your family. Age doesn't matter when it's an unexpected event like this.

The Flatirons. I made it to near the tree line at the base of the centered peak.

If you remember "Mork & Mindy" (Robin Williams and Pam Dawber, later Jonathan Winters), this is the house that was used in the external shots.
