Greetings from the foothills of the Rockies. Out here for 3 days on business. In one of my more misguided moments-I agreed to bring the S.O. along. Now -after a long day that began at 5 am she is in a grumpy mood. For the record, I did warn her it would be so.
We did go down town and also went up to the Air Force Academy. Interestingly enough-she thinks the “modern” architecture of the Academy is ugly, and I have to agree with her. There once was a time I was fascinated by it-but now it no longer looks as modern as it once did. It looks out of place on that hill. Plus the chapel appears to have faded a great deal since I last saw it some 15 years ago. (Pix to come in a later post).
As for the rest of the city-well its just a bigger version of Carson City if you ask me, without the benefits of casinos or brothels at the county line. You have the mountains in the back ground-suburbs galore and shopping mall after shopping mall. Seen one such town you have seen them all.
However the mountains make up for it all. To step out and look up at them each day-makes me think back fondly to my days of living and flying in Nevada. Those were the days.
Time to shove off now-the work starts early tomorrow-and the S.O. still has to decide if what she wants to do so we can set up the transportation……………
