no catchy title today

Got up and took Susie to the airport and as I was driving away the phone rang.  It's Susie.  United doesn't show her on the flight.  U-turn.  Turn out it was booked on the wrong day.... Now how in the heck did that happen???  So it's $450 to get Su home.  That really sucks.  The rest of the month just changed drastically!  If anyone wants to send donations, or early birthday presents, feel free.  I have a paypal account!  Life will go on.  I have done creative accounting before, I can do it again.  I just wish I knew when I was getting my first paycheck, from both jobs.

On to more pleasant subjects.  I'm pretty sure no one wants to read about me complaining on a blog.  I thought I'd mention some interesting people I've met on the trip.  My friend Colleen says I should write a memoir about the guys I've met and dated, but I've decided I'll probably leave all that out of here for a while!

No one in particular was so memorable on the drive.  I remember where the nice clean bathrooms were!  (Glenwood Springs had a very nice one in a little bitty gas station!)  Pulling into Delta there was a woman, oh so interestingly dressed in a plaid shirt, a flag covered vest, and a great big plastic flower covered hat.  She was playing a pink guitar and waving a flag on the side of 50 Hwy in Delta.  I'm not sure what that was about, but it was a bit entertaining!
At the hot springs in Orvis I chatted with a very nice gentleman (which is kind of odd when you're sitting naked in water, but it worked).  I got all kinds of local info on where to eat, what kind of critters to look out for, places to hike, etc.  The girl working there was pregnant, so who knows, maybe I'll be her delivery nurse in Montrose some day!
I like the girls at the Doghouse coffee shop here in Delta.  I keep asking anyone who lives here where I should eat.  There aren't a whole ton of options, but it's still good to know.  The first night here we picked the wrong place and it was pretty awful.  We went to McDonalds afterwards.  (So Sad)

I was going to shop for a washer and dryer today, but I think that will wait now.  I certainly have enough to do here at home to keep busy.  That stuff won't make it out of the garage by itself.

More later!
