This is a view of the train station in downtown Denver, right across from my office. I took this on my last day there before starting out on my long drive up to here.

The view from my alternative universe here in No-where, Minnesota (taken during last week's heat-wave). Talk about two very different worlds...more like two different centuries. Starting to plan on the closing-down of things here, pulling the boat, sealing the windows, clearing out the refrigerators and freezers, putting that "pink" anti-freeze in the sinks and toilets, and powering it all down for the long-sleep. I've got a little time up here yet (and have two more guests arriving over the next ten days or so), but after that it's all done for another year. After a good year it is easier to go back to "reality" (but only just), and at-least this was a very good year. But...I'm also sensing a fragility in so-many of the "things" up here (this old house, the old Ford truck, the old Lund boat, & even... myself) that I've never had to deal with before. My back really bothers me now after a long day afield and my blasted eyesight is now becoming something of a challenge (cloudy residue in my shooting eye from my recent PVD episodes according to my opthamologist, and even the beginnings of cataracts in both eyes). Getting older really sucks... until you consider the alternatives. Oh well.
