Bayathread1
Car continues to languish in Nebraska, waiting for parts. Meanwhile I'm in Colorado visiting folks, thanks to the wonders of car rental.
| Bayathread1 @ChrisNalty Actually, I went over the Business Loop 90 bridge this time, and it was also spectacular. What a place! |
|
| Bayathread1 Also saw several American White pelicans, my favorite bird, and briefly considered purchasing a 275 lb concrete pelican from roadside stand |
|
| Bayathread1 Meanwhile,I'm here to report that the Sand Hills of Nebraska really are worth a visit.So many subtle shades of green, broken by blue rivers. |
|
| Bayathread1 so really, like Joe Walsh, I can't complain, but sometimes I still do. |
|
| Bayathread1 Garage keeping my car overnight to make sure it's just the belt. Meanwhile I'm in an airconditioned motel rm with a restaurant next door... |
|
| Bayathread1 Dang.Stuck in West Podunk, Nebraska with a broken? serpentine belt.Glad,however, it didn't happen while I was out in the vast No-Cell Lands |
|
| Bayathread1 I'm at one of the most beautiful spots on the planet: crossing the missouri riv at chamberlain, so dakota. |
|
| Bayathread1 @parsifal Alas, didn't make it to Pipestone today. Was getting tired, wanting supper. Decided this corner of MN is worth its own trip, tho. |
|
| Bayathread1 Rock County, Minnesota is aptly named. |
|
| Bayathread1 Visited blue mounds state pk, mn this aft. Pretty place, also has bison. |
|
| Bayathread1 Yep, satellite radio is good for these road trips to remote places.Good tunes vs. hog reports and rant radio, when there's radio at all. |
|
| Bayathread1 Car all loaded up, ready to go west after church this morning. Probably as far as E. South Dakota tonight, W. Nebraska or NE Colorado tmw. |
|
| Bayathread1 Packing for a couple weeks out west, popping into state parks, visiting family, doing 8-day retreat. |
|
| Bayathread1 My kitty has an ear infection, but thinks I'm trying to murder him when I give him the medicine. |
|
| Bayathread1 Hafta get up way too early tomorrow. |
|
| Bayathread1 http://twitpic.com/2qkm - New I-35W Bridge nearly complete. Photo taken today. |
|
| Bayathread1 Here's a job I'd like:river boat tour guide.Just ride long on the water telling people interesting history and factoids.I could love that. |
|
| Bayathread1 Took a look at the new I-35W bridge from underneath the 10th Ave bridge today in a boat.The thing is almost all the way across.Astonishing. |
|
| Bayathread1 @rmsylte I do the voice recording separately, though.Too complicated to do it at the same time as I'm demo-ing the task. |
