looks lovely - but we have decided not to head out America way n , just too far for a week !plus the blood clots put a bit of a dampener on things ! had the misfortune to walk round Denver last time wwere out there and sort of ruined the dream a bit for me , guess itno different than any big city in the world but to see all the homeless on every street corner where the cowboys hunted buffalo and tamed steers in my mind spoilt things for me a bit . been lucky to have seen the sights I have out that way being a run of the mill builder but just ."don't want to travel for 8-10 hrs in a metal bird !
It really is a long flight. The homeless here in Seattle priced out of any kind of rental. Too much demand and rents are sky high. They have increased from $400 when we lived here in the 80s to $3200 we are paying now. Hopefully heading home next week.
The huge gap between the haves and the have nots only seems to be growing. I do enjoy rolling Down the window and yelling get a job

Back to full quality of life. Well the same as any other old guy (excepting the freaks of nature in our league- I'm looking at you @Rod McG and @Goldwolfie among others)
 
The one room apartment an old friend rented in Bouder CO back in the late 60s when he was in school for 80 dollars now goes for 3200 dollars a month. I will say I miss Steamboat though as we could go up the back way through Wyoming and see about 10 cars pn the whole trip.

Yeah on that note I think we are all lucky here we mainly have our health and the luxury of roof over our heads.
No of them homeless set out to end up that way, unless you believe our home secretary who has said its a lifestyle choice.

Yes, the H.S. seems a bit vicious. Been spending to much time with our neo-reichsters possibly. Never though my golden years would be witness to so much human suffering, but then again did not necessarily think I would reach my golden years.

Does tonight's stage have enough of a drag to drop the descenders before the descent or will they hold out then fly away down the hill?

You couldn’t send a link to it could you please - I can’t find anything on phone !
