Total Eclipse of My Heart

By
Well, our push to get to Nashville for the eclipse worked out perfectly. We were here and settled in and ready to go on Monday. The weather called for partly cloudy skies so we weren't sure how successful we were going to be. All the way across the country Rusty and I saw signs about traffic and how crazy it was predicted to be on the road so we decided that we would stay in one place and hope for the best. It was partly cloudy which made it cooler than it would have been otherwise, but as it got closer and closer to the full eclipse and clouds blocked the sun we thought we were going to miss it, then at just at the right time, out popped the sun from behind the clouds and we got the full effect.  We even got to see shadow bands! The only thing we missed was seeing the horizon look like sunset.

Enjoy!

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...

This morning's walk

By
brought about an unusual sight. A white pickup with a shell pulls up next to a white van rear end to rear end. Then the guy gets out of the truck and puts on something that looks like a disposable hazmat suit. The van is full of crates and he starts loading his truck with the crates. I was afraid to look but Rusty did. He said the crates had dead chickens in them. When the truck was loaded, he took off the suit and drove south. The van drove over to the north bound onramp and was sitting just waiting. Some things just can't be explained....
