Fences and neighbors...

Hello my darlings,

This is a call to action!  The state of Colorado NEEDS your help!!!!  I've spent a significant amount of time on I25 this week and this experience has driven me to launch a Trump-like campaign to build a fence, or a wall, or at least a giant gate.  Now I'm not talking about that Mexico border wall nonsense, I mean seriously if we are going to go to that effort, why don't we at least sweeten the deal and give Mexico the state of Texas.  I'm even willing to throw in Oklahoma, if that helps.  No, the wall that I want is at the Wyoming border.  I know you've all experienced this.  Your are cruising down I25, traffic is moving everyone is behaving then all of the sudden the left lane comes to an abrupt stop.  In my experience, at least 90% of the time, this slow down is a direct result of some jackhole with a Wyoming license plate, putzing along about 60 miles per hour in the left lane.  If we can build a wall and keep those people off of I25 then traffic is going to get much better.  Now I am not proposing that we wall off the whole state.  Wyomingites can still go to Nebraska, I mean seriously, I don't want to go to Nebraska, so I don't care how badly they drive there.  Well, and if I'm being honest there are a lot of Nebraska drivers that seem to have challenges locating the accelerator and the turn indicators, but I digress.  Until we can widen I25, and/or implement rail service to Fort Collins keeping Wyoming drivers off the road is really the best solution.  If building a wall is too extreme, can we at least change the sign at the border to say "Wyoming keep right!"  teehee

You may be asking why I've been spending so much time on I25.  Sadly, this is a story about the oldies.  Ray's 99-year old father was moved to hospice on Sunday.  Yesterday, I talked to the RN caring for him and she said that his body is shutting down, his kidneys are failing and the end is eminent.  My heart aches for Joyce.  Losing her son and her husband within 5 months is a incredibly devastating amount of loss.  I'm not honestly sure how the strongest person would cope with all of that and Joyce most definitely is NOT the strongest woman I've ever met.  I've spent a lot of time with her this week and she seems to be coping with Ray's death finally, but I am very concerned about how the old man's departure will affect her.  This situation also means that Hurricane Grace is blowing back in.   Yiipppeeeee! They should arrive late today.  I can't wait to see (and share) the drama that will unfold as a result of her presence.  F*mylife!

Until next time....
