Daily Show

Here's a quick summary of yesterday's activities then a few views of my daily walkabout.  Pictures obviously cannot convey the experience but for us it will call up the memories.

So, yesterday started out with the usual activities.  Breakfast, laundry, practicing.  I did walk over to the bakery and bookstore, two addictions I don't think I can shake.  I am holding out hope that Charlie Sheen will establish a nice multi-purpose rehab center in Aspen where I can get some help.  BTW, he was in court here on Monday cleaning up some blow back from when he attacked his wife in Aspen last December.

We attended a master class presented by Robert Lipsett.  As usual it was interesting and illuminating.  Jamuna and I left early so I could drive her to spend some time with Sierra in Carbondale.  I made it back just in time to listen to the AACA Orchestra.  Very nice.  After dinner of leftovers Maya, Abe and I walked into town for a piece of chocolate candy and a bit of play in the park.  Mrs. White went out to dinner with Destiny and Mike.

Now for the daily walk:

As I head out the back alley I can look back to see our blue van and the back of the building. The van is parked below our window which you may be able to see is partially open with a fan on the sill.

I just noticed this sign today.  Despite what the sign indicates, my walk experience heads to the right.  ACES is the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies where we too that stone age living skills class.  There is a class this coming Saturday that I think we will attend. More on that later.

The alley by the condo connects to Garmish St. so you can see it is a straight shot, about five blocks, to this point.

I see this large power switch as I walk toward the PO and am reminded that Aspen is a trusting town.  There is no lock on the big switch.  I often consider pushing it down to see if the whole town goes dark.

Here's the bike path down to the post office.  The grocery store is at the bottom of the hill on the right, out of view.

Here's the PO counter where I wait to check for general delivery.  Today we received some Netflix DVDs. I noticed they were stamped "Receive SEP 03, 2010".  I mentioned that to the clerk and he replied that they were just trying to get ahead.

This is the produce section of Clark's Market where I do most of the shopping.

This is a shot of my summer extravagance.  I have put in quite a few miles in these Keen's.  If you zoom in you might be able to see the size, in case anyone is wanting to send my another pair in a different color.

This is the hallway off the kitchen heading to three of the four sleeping rooms.

I encountered Abe working on his thesis, or maybe he was playing a game.

Thunder is filling the air right now.  Time for a quick bite then some recreation.  Then "down valley" to pick up Jamuna.  I'm looking forward to a physics lecture tonight called "From 0 to c in 60 Minutes".

I'll proofread this later.....
