There’s so much to say.
Driving thru Kansas sucks.
I-70 thru Kansas and Colorado has these giant Wind Farms with windmills that look like spaceships.
Rocky and I nearly died in a hailstorm while driving through Eastern Colorado. 60+ mph winds! We thought the hail was gonna bust out all the windows in my Corolla. (4th pic)
I’ve been already been inside a Teepee and learned that people still live in them.
I’ve met a kazillion people already thanks to Donnie.
The best meal I’ve eaten in a year was here in Boulder. It was made my Nepalese Sherpas who guide people to the summit of Mt. Everest.
I’ve slept in 3 different houses (only 1 actually in Boulder) since I’ve gotten into town.
I’ve already done a little bit of rock climbing.
Cell coverage is weak sauce (aka terrible) here.
I’ve gotten my 1st guitar student. His family has the craziest/coolest house I’ve seen in a long time.
I’ve learned that people in Colorado don’t really believe in air conditioning.
I’ve gone tubing on the river and have serious nipple burn.
My new friend, Todd, has lived in a van in Boulder the past 2 years (including the winters!)
The house I’m staying in now has a half pipe in the basement.
The weather here is schizophrenic.
For the 1st time since I was a kid, I really enjoy being outside in the summer. (the heats bearable and poison ivy/oak is scarce)
I’ve traveled to an elevation of 12,000+ft in the Rockies and got sun/wind burn (it’s harder to breathe that high).
and finally
if I don’t find a day job soon, I’m calling these people.
