Salida adventures

Oct 29, 2011 14:34

Hello, dear friends! I've been scarce lately but things have been very exciting! I'm getting geared up again for fiction writing-- yes. And also for reviving my home business, because apparently I'm unable to work in an office without turning into a crabby flabby sad-sack. Instead, I'm cackling with evil laughter over being able to escape to the ( Read more... )

I must add the Salida Turn-around to my Bucket List.

You absolutely must. Who needs to see Paris, anyway? Bah!

Something Mariole failed to tell you. We actually had the amazing experience of turning around in the Turn-around! Unfortunately this was not captured on film but was witnessed by some on the local turn-around inhabitants.

I can now die content knowing that I have experienced life to the fullest.

And with me driving, Maggie almost does die, regularly! Fortunately, she has very bad short-term memory, because I hit her with a rock shortly after endangering her life, so she always forgets. Therefore, she is still my traveling companion. Hey-lah!

Oh my... I now feel that my area is quite impoverished for not having its own turn-around. People just... drive through... Shiftless, the lot of them.

Well, Canadians are like that. Too freaking lazy and shiftless to build their own turn-arounds. And knowing them, they wouldn't even shovel it out when the snow got to be over 8 feet deep.

Come down here anytime. I believe the turn-around is open year-round!

You are so funny. Why is it that anywhere you go to you manage to bring out the 'fun' parts so well? I think it's just you guys...can't wait to visit the party town Salida. Oh we don't have a turn around here in Vernal BUT we have a roundabout....pretty cool huh?

> we don't have a turn around here in Vernal

*sigh* Poor Vernal, one of the many millions of towns doomed to suffer from no turn-around. You must come to Salida someday-- you have probably already seen it, haven't you? It's got that Taos feeling of a growing art town. Small, but happenin'. I think you'd like it!

Love those moutnains you've got there!

Aren't they stunning? You can't look at the Continental Divide and be depressed. The valley is so wide and very beautiful. I love _all_ mountains. Norway is spectacular as well. I can never see too many mountains.
