Finally--a good night's sleep!

Today will be the first day in three that I've been able to bike to work. I guess I can kiss 2500-miles-by-the-end-of-the-month goodbye (I might get to 2400 if I'm lucky).

Lunch sounds good, Cher! We'll be there!

Well tip top o' tha marnin' to ye all,

Spent the weekend in RMNP. Fall color was the best I have ever seen! Did a modest 9 mile hike with a little bit of elevation gain here and there.

Started on the Bierstadt Lake Trail, went to Bierstadt Lake, hiked over to Bear Lake, then onto Nymph Lake, Dream Lake and Emerald Lake. Hiked back to Dream Lake and caught the trail up to Lake Haiyaha, and thence back to Bear Lake where I caught a shuttle bus back to the Bierstadt Lake Trailhead.

Temps were in the 40's to 50's and very few clouds (depsite a 50% chance of rain). We did have a couple wind gusts in the 50-60mph range(so sadly the color won't be around for long), but really a great day. I felt bad thinking about what a great day it was while Rita was busy soaking the south.

Should have gone over Trail Ridge Road and headed back down through Granby, Tabernash, Fraser and Winter Park to catch some action on the Moffat line, but didn't feel like dealing with mucho traffic on I-70 on a Sunday afternoon durning Elk Rut/ Fall Color season.

Should have a new sig picture sometime today if I get the time to process soem pics. Hope you all had a great weekend, too.

TTFN!

Is it OK to say that Mookie would would take the mouse to the back room with her other toys?

2" of rain in central Indiana since Sunday morning most no doubt related to Rita. It was just light and steady most of Sunday.

[Mookie]

I see Jay is taking liberties with the Mookie....(computer mouse...hmmph...)

CW is talking about all the rest of you. (Old and Gray).

New youngster in the diner - Welcome and just remember one thing - Don't Rock on the Cat's Tail!

Willy2 is about your age and out there somewhere, also doing homework! Will have to drag him in here.

Yawner weekend in the land of no weather. Coffee tastes good this morning. Nice to be back to "normal" after a night of paw wringing Friday nite over the hurricane. Still looking for a person from Lake Charles. [sigh]

And to my "older" brother Carl.....HA HA HA!

Moo wee

[JoeKoh]

Carl I think I've said this to you millions of times before. With all that seniority you have you should be basiclly running Proviso, Ya know??/

Chris [#welcome] to the diner, I hope you enjoy your time here, I'm more than certain that you will.

Well I was blessed with a nice treat today. I went to the mall at Willow Grove which is right outside of Philly. I was leaving the mall at around 9pm and then from the top of the hill in Willow Grove I got to see and hear some really awsome fireworks! It was awsome I almost thought it was the New Year! I wish. Though I couldn't figure out why would there be fireworks in the heart of Willow Grove on a "nothing" night for no reason. So, my mission tomorrow or I should say later on today is to figure that one out.

[CShaveRR]

Boy, did I have a senior moment today--and not the way one usually thinks of one!

There are nine employees who work our hump any given shift: three car retarder operators, one hump conductor, one general yardmaster, and four remote control operators (who pull the pins and do whatever else needs to be done with locomotives). Well, I added up years of service--and I had five years' more seniority than all eight of the others put together!

Speaking of newbies--welcome, Chris! I was about 14 when I discovered that there were a bunch of other people who shared my interests.

Thank you, I love apple pie!

[dinner]

[cherokee woman]

Chris, [#welcome] to the Diner!! Always glad to have new people come in. Hope you
stay with us till you're old and gray (like the majority of us already are)[:D][:-,][(-D]

As for anything to eat, there's pizza left, and you should be able to find a
slice of apple pie, or a slice of cake in the cooler.

[Anonymous]

Hey, thank you[:)]

This is a GREAT PLACE. Everyone here is so kind and welcoming.

So, anything on the menu at this hour???

[jeaton]

Chris

You'll like the place. Its wired and you can spread out on a back table and get your homework done while you get a bite to eat. Your folks don't have to be concerned as cherokee woman will make sure you eat your veggies and Mookie will eat your mouse if you use your computer for anything but research for school and other good stuff.

Thanks for the welcome!

Ahh, sorry I can't cook, but I can eat! [;)]

Pizza sounds good[dinner]

[Junctionfan]

Well; what an interesting day today.

I did security at the Grape and Wine Festival-specifically the Grand Parade. Most of my duties consisted of essentially being an assistant to the parade marshal and directing bands and floats to there starting points and ensuring that the parade ran smoothly. I along with another from the college, did a control point on 2 streets and did minor crowd control. I enjoyed the experience very much.

In between the chaos of the coordination of almost 100 participating bands and float, I talked to a police officer to see what kind of nonsense they had to deal with at the wine tents. Well; what a crazy bunch of folk some people are.

One guy was caught taken photographs of young girls and was thrown out for that as well as severely warned. One guy decided to stab himself in the leg for some messed up reason. One guy decide to show up without his pants-his reason was that he forgot them at home................??? One guy decided to jump on the back of a police officer-police officer calmly shrugged his shoulders, threw him over his shoulders and wacked him a few times with his billy stick and then arrested him.

It's amazing how people get stupid with a drink in them. As General Honeres might say, they are running on stupid.
