Hello Sports Fans!
Well, it's Friday, and while most people are out at the bars drinking celebrating their survival of the week and trying to hook up with the person of their dreams (or the one night stand), but I decided to skip the whole bar scene. I got a variety of beer, a football game, U of Nevada Reno vs. Northwestern, and a comfortable couch. I usually don't have much energy on Fridays, I must be getting old. Bars are ok if you are out with a bunch of friends, I'm more partial to a small, quiet place where you can actually talk to people without yelling over thumping beats of 90's dance music. Besides, the beer is half the price here, and I don't have to wait for someone to serve me. bonus! Anyway, seems like we have skipped a season here in the San Luis Valley, it has been in the 30's and raining, making it miserable to be outside for any length of time, since it was like 80 degrees last week. Guess I'll just have to buck up ;) Well, back to the football game. Check ya later!

Where's the "disaster"?
Just a quick link to a blog I found this morning through Digg about federal government disater payments for farmers in the mid west. May not seem relevent to most people, but with the talk of using corn and soybeans for more and more products, with E-85 and ethanol being the big ones right now, people should be paying attention to what's happening. Digg has not updated their "blog this" to enable the blogger beta, so click here to get the goods. Check ya later!

Sittin' at the Laundromat Blues
Greetings True Believers!
Anyway, it's been a helluva week since I last checked in. As the title says, I am sitting here in the local laundromat doing my bi-weekly loads. It's the newest one in town, and not too busy, it gives me a chance to catch up on watching diggnation episodes, DVD's (watched the first part of The Benchwarmers before this, so far it's pretty damned funny), or watch people (and there are a variety of kinds of patrons). Anyway, as for the past week, there wasn't a dull moment. My mother flew in Wed. at noon, so I got to play taxi and show her around a little bit before heading out to my brother's to see her grandkids. The look on her face when we pulled in and my nephew was waving at us, I thought she was going through the window. Thursday I was supposed to work all day in the neighboring office, but recieved a call that there was an urgent job in my home office that needed attention, so I naturally came back. Well, this pissed off the boss at the neighboring office. I guess I broke "line and staff", so I had to kiss a little butt to soothe feelings. The whole deal is screwed up, maybe I'll dedicate a post to it in the future. Anyway, I spent most of my weekend at my brother's, playing with the kid and hanging out. One cool thing about the ranch he manages is that the Rio Grande runs through the middle of it, so I got to finally get some flies wet. I also got the opprotunity to talk to a service rep for Qwest, my DSL, and to make a long story short, some little troll was on my wireless network and plugging up bandwidth, shutting my connection down. I am hoping that my generosity of leaving my network was not purposely being abused, but I still locked'er down, problem solved. Anyway, this week has started out pretty uneventful, which is just fine with me. Well, later days!

Views From the Top
Here are a few pictures I have taken of the San Luis Valley (SLV), which is in South Central Colorado. The valley is flanked on the west side by the San Juan Mountains and the Sange de Cristo Mountains, with Alamosa (where I live) on the eastern end. I moved here last March, and think it's one of the better moves I have made so far.
This picture was taken from Lookout Mountain, and is an aerial view of Del Norte and my old place I was renting, it's the one with the blue roof. The one below is of the very western end on the SLV.
The San Luis Valley has a variety of different landscapes, from the potato and alfalfa pivots to the high mountain wildflowers.
Anyway, just a lazy day at the casa, I have a list of things I should be be doing, a list of things I could do, but I might just nap. Later Days!

Greetings!
Hello there! I thought since everybody else and their dog has a blog, I needed one too. Actually, I have a Yahoo 360 page, but like everything else yahoo, it was inconvenient. Anyway, I want to use my blog as not only a place to put my rants and raves, but also post articles from the Internet (mostly digg), and other stuff I find. So if you are reading this, leave me a comment to say hi, tell me how bad I suck, etc. Later Days!
