Brain cancer is...
...spending the night in jail.
It may sound surprising, but spending the night in Cell 2 is just about the only part of the day we planned. Tonight is our last night in Colorado. We're in Pueblo, staying at the Station at the Riverwalk on our trek south. That's really our hotel, above: the converted police station and jail.The rest of the day was filled with surprises (again!). We ate eggs Benedict during a snow flurry in Greeley, we saw Pikes Peak and the US Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs. And we hung out with the Gods in their Garden.
We learned important things. For example: Did you know that America the Beautiful was written by Katherine Lee Bates, a professor who was awed by the sights from atop Pikes Peak? Did you know that the Garden of the Gods has its own dinosaur, Theiophytalia kerri? Did you know that the Arkansas River starts in Colorado? New to us and all true!
Here's a two-minute slideshow of the day with supporting evidence. (Click here.)
Today's dessert choice: A single lemon macaroon from a local bakery. Here here.
Signing off from Cell 2.
I heard of this place.. at night you can hear the banging of the hammer and chisel against the bricks and at midnight the light flicker from the execution down the hall.. or what about the rats sneaking in through the hole by the toilet looking a crumb that fell off your charcuterie board. Good night, sweet dreams
ReplyDeleteThanks for that charming bedtime story right before lights out, Curt!
