Goat Poker

By
HERE'S a game you can play on a road trip, it's called Goat Poker. There are no rules and you can play for hours and no one ever wins or loses so it's best played with kids between the ages of say 4 and 14. There are a few exceptions to the no rules rule, which are these: NO hitting NO yelling NO spitting and you MUST take turns. If there's a disagreement to be settled, MOM will settle it. Period end of discussion...
dumb looking black and white goat
even dumber looking goats in a tree (wtf!)

SO anyway here's how you play: as you drive along a player might say something like this: "We just passed a black and white goat on my side, I get 20 points." Another player then says "Yes but after we passed the goat we passed a white horse on my side, so not only do I get 20 points but you also have to give me your 20 points which means I get 40 and you get zero." Then a third player chimes in with "We just passed a red car going the other way and I saw it first so I get 200 points." Then the original player fires back "Except, it was followed by one a them semi trucks with CFI on the side so actually what that means is you get negative 200 points." And on and on and on it goes, until everyone gets sick and tired of it and decides to play the license plate game. Or 20 questions...

The Five Words You've All Been Wondering if I'll Say

By
It happened the morning we were getting ready to leave Glenwood Canyon.  It had been an emotional week. We were doing all the things we did with my dad. Even Rusty got misty eyed at one of my dad's favorite restaurants. But the thing that I stupidly didn't realize was that we were there on my dad's birthday. He would have been 85. That hit me pretty hard but I guess I didn't realize it until we were getting ready to leave. Don't get me wrong, I love Glenwood Canyon. It's one of the most amazing places and it's no surprise why my dad loved living there. Between all the emotions and the fact that I woke up the morning we were leaving to a tweaked back, I think it was just too much. Rusty had gotten up to prep the sewer and, water and electrical outside and I was working on prepping the inside. Making the bed is a contortionist's nightmare without a tweaked back to say the least but I got it made. Then I start to notice blood on the floor. I figure the dog...

Finally, a respite from the heat!

By
We hit Vegas on Sunday afternoon around 1pm. By 4pm it was 112 degrees. We didn't even unhook the car, just plugged in the electricity and water, put out the slides and turned on the AC. Rusty didn't want me to cook and he didn't want to eat a salad so he went to the Casino and brought back some food. We ate and passed out early, getting up at the ass-crack of dawn to try and hit the summits before the big heat of the day. Our next stop was the KOA in Richfield. Not a bad spot and we had clouds and cooler temps in the afternoon. Whisky loves this place because she can hang around outside on the grass. That's where she spent her entire Sunday afternoon. Here's our awesome spot: We met this couple with two kids who were on their way from Wisconsin to San Louis Obispo as he's working on a grant and it's his time to work for the next nine months on the work they're doing. He's a mathematician but applies it to nature. It was pretty cool talking to...
