Good afternoon, or evening as the case may be. Pot's empty here, but it was good while it lasted.
We have one of those days. Clear, blue sky, nary a cloud to be seen, breeze from time to time, about 80. This morning, I was out wandering, and saw that the mountains to the west and north of the valley have a decent coat of the white stuff on the high peaks, those above about 6,000 to 7,000 feet elevation, the highest of them over 10,000; real pretty to look at.
Got his little tale in an e-mail from a friend, and think it is worth sharing.
Later.
