The People's Fair

Downtown Denver had a People's Fair today. Lots of arts and crafts and food. I figured I didn't have anything else to do today (that I felt like doing) so I hopped on the bike and rode on down. Found lots of stuff to spend my money on but didn't spend a dime.

I decided after that I would ride the rest of the way to my favorite downtown spot; Confluence Park. I sat outside and chatted on the phone with Mike for a while. I finally brought the camera along so I could show him where I keep describing:


The above photo is of the REI store (kind of like Cabella's) with the Starbucks attached. I like to sit right out front of those windows and people-watch.


The above photo is looking out over the park from my normal spot. People swim, bike, walk, kyak, play with their dogs, you name it!


The above photo in the same area just looking a little more upstream. People come here to practice rafting and kyaking. It isn't too deep and the rapids are short but good for practicing.


The above photo is looking even further upstream toward Elitch Gardens (the amuzement park).


The dreaded Invesco field - home of the Broncos....They are SOOO going to lose this year!

I bought a bike trail map while I was in REI so now I have all of the bike trails in Denver. I have a ton of work to do in order to ride them all...

I need to go make a birthday card for Alyx (yes, I know her birthday is today...)

C'ya!

Going Green

You are never going to believe me but here it goes: I'm going green? How? I rode the train to work this morning with the bike then I rode the bike home. The great thing about Denver is that there are bike trails EVERYWHERE! So I don't have to spend much time on major roads and as long as I stick to creekside trails, it is relatively flat so I can handle the ride. I'm not sure the total distance I rode but I will tell you that I am beat!

As I got closer to the house, the clouds above started looking pretty scary. By the time I got home, they had moved to the East and put on quite a show. I shot a video of it so hopefully you can see the movement. There are tornado warnings out to the East right now; I'm not surprised at all!:

I also took a picture on high resolution because the colors were just amazing!

I am sure the ones in the path of this storm would disagree but what an amazing sight!

Okay - I can't sit around and play on my computer any more tonight...and I have to go to Phoenix tomorrow...

C'ya!

My Pastor is a Techie Geek!

I have been going to a church just down the street from where I am currently living. I really enjoy going for several reasons; the people are friendly, it reminds me of 'home', as well as many others. Last week, I found out that the Pastor of the church is really into technology. Until tonight, I hadn't had the time to look at his web site. Well, I have discovered he is a serious tech. Check it out at http://joeburnham.com/. He has blogs and podcasts and flickr (Oh My!). WOW! That's all I have to say...

On another note, I rode my bike to downtown Denver again today. Nice relaxing ride but the sun sure did a number on my shoulders and face...It is making me sleepy...

C'ya!
