The weekend started,


in Central City, at the Fortune Valley Hotel/Casino, where we had 'comped' rooms on Friday night. Hadn't been to Central City/Blackhawk since Colorado changed the gaming rules and added several games, including, roulette and craps, and raised the stakes fron $5 to $100. Quite a change up in them, thar hills. Anyway, Kari had some free room coupons, so Paul and Kathy, and Tammie joined us for a little trip to the high country. I'm always impressed how the air cools down and smells so good up there. Everything is SO green and the streams so clear and lovely this year. Had great filets for dinner, paid for by the blackjack tables, which made the meal taste even better. Then, Saturday about noon, stopped at my granddaughter's house, where we were joined by Nate and Laura, Ted and Kari, and we enjoyed some of Nate's home brews and his famous marinated elk loin kabobs, plus Kari's prosciutto wrapped melon balls and spinach cheese dip. WOW! I am SO spoiled, but that's OK. Then, while Piper (really) enjoyed the swingset, we saw the cutest little fox trying to hide behind a rock while he curiously watched us. An altogether fantastic Father's Day weekend, and I'm not even finished yet, as the US Open Golf tourney plays out. Life IS good...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
