Denver Colorado

Up early because I couldn’t sleep. Hit the road around 6:00 AM. It was 5 freaking degrees! My windows were frozen shut. they were still that way when I hit the Kansas Turnpike so I had to open the door to get the ticket and do the same to pay when I got off. $2.75 for 40 or so miles. What a ripoff! About four hours after hitting the road, the driver’s side window finally unfroze so I could open it. Yesterday, I gassed up at the last minute so I would have a lot of gas in the tank and wouldn’t have to stop until it warmed up. How did that work out? It was 9 freaking degrees when I had to fill up. It didn’t hit the teens until around 10:00 o’clock. It did eventually make it up to 40 degrees. It is nice filling up the tank of the Cripmobile for less than $40.

I really made great time today. I got to Denver around 2:30. Caught the tail end of the Minnesota/Seattle game on the radio. The field goal kicker missed a chip shot and Minnesota lost. Too bad. He’ll get blamed, but Peterson shouldn’t have fumbled earlier in the game. I knew two teams that were guaranteed to lose over the weekend: Houston and Washington. If you couldn’t defeat the Atlanta Falcons during the regular season, you didn’t belong in the playoffs.

Anything else interesting today? Nope. Tomorrow it’s Snowmass and the weather looks good so I shouldn’t have any problems getting through the Eisenhower Tunnel or over Vail Pass.

One more from Wishbone Ash. This is the best version I could find with the original members.
