Saturday in Colorado


It is my last day of "chasing". Unless Lebron James shows up for a last-second three pointer to save the trip, this could go down as the best weather trip ever, for a tourist. The saving grace was that we were not stuck in some hell-hole town, or part of the southwest devoid of semi-civilization. The second positive was that I brought my own laptop and could partially escape back into small portions of my goings-on during the down time. No more being held hostage to repeated replays on ESPN and CNN, or reading the Groundhog Droppings Weekly from the local town.

Our rental period is up on the Jeep EcoDevastator, and this being the Memorial Day weekend, there were slim pickins from the local Avis outlet in SheepNuts, KS. So, John had to take the local's upgrade from tractor, as pictured here. Today, while the dewpoints are high, there is little shear, so we hope to catch some "land spouts" in eastern Colorado. While not technically tornadoes, finding one of these mini-twisters would make for a nice ending. Either that or we hit the Boulder Brewpub for a few cold ones.
