We just got back from a trip to Estes Park and RMNP. What an incredibly beautiful area. Elk traffic jams daily in Estes. Trees with branches only on the downwind side. 25 degrees and 50 MPH wind at 12,000 feet. Yet life abounds, even up there. Just a completely different world than down here. And water. If there's water available, and they want it someplace else, it happens. Even if RMNP is in the way. Huge tunnels take water from the Western Slope to the Front Range, feeding 8 hydro stations and ultimately, the Big Thompson River. Now to me, that's a heck of a testament to the value of water and the ingenuity of mankind in managing it. There's a similar deal on the Gunnison with a long tunnel carrying irrigation water from a reservoir in the Black Canyon out into what would otherwise be nearly desert. The Gunnison tunnel is old, predating modern surveying and boring equipment. They started at both ends and met nearly perfectly in the middle. This type of thing will never cease to amaze me. This is about 11,000' elevation in RMNP overlooking another 17,000 acres of wilderness alpine tundra.

PSA: First freeze = fried green tomato season. Finally!!!!

One of the reasons I suggest Lilley's is safety - he's not likely to lose his footing and fall in which is easy to do at RR when you're that old. Also, if he gets tired of fishing a nice sightseeing cruise on Taneycomo might be welcome. Good on you for taking care of him whatever you do.

That's a lot of money but they probably know what they're doing.

Lilley's

Pickle Creek is a real gem. Good job Daryk.

If your eye doctor says you need cataract surgery, just do it, no question about it. Have some good sunglasses for afterwards. You'll want them and be happy overall.

The bullpen was solid IMHO. Starters were too. Royals were in every game through the 9th. Fun but disappointing to watch. On the upside though, let's talk about Garcia.

He struggled for sure. But his defense stayed superb. I'm a long-term Bobby Witt Jr. fan.

George Brett remains the Class of the Royals. I'm sure he's proud of what they accomplished and wants to see even better next season.

Bobby Witt makes a real difference in KC. Go Royals.

Billethead would never do such a thing.

You should. Their Boston Burger is a staple around here too.

Not the recipe, the product, just to be clear.

And when it comes to Bratwurst: Original or nothing. From Harter House or Johnsonville if no Harter House available. Edit: I'm sure there are other good house made brats, but no fruit or dairy or peppers.

I don't have a clue. And we all know I'm special. Just ask my Sista. So give it up.

NO.

He's obviously from Wales.

I'm only telling you how they say it in Worcestershire, UK. You can be an ugly American who doesn't speak the language if you so choose. But me? Nope, I got tact.

Worcester like rooster. shire like sheer.

They make the best KC style BBQ sauce I have ever tasted.

A dead goose. 60 Minutes should come down and investigate..

I need to get back to Montauk. Thanks for the post.👍

It has to be Random House.

Midge clouds today for sure.
