Big Ape
|

Apparently this big ape has been in the Wynkoop forever, but I never
noticed it until the other day when my friends asked me to meet them by
the big ape. "You want me to meet you WHERE?!?!"

So, I was walking along the street one day, and I came across this sign
in the first picture indicating the sidewalk was closed, and instructing
pedestrians to cross over to the other sidewalk. I can see the good
sense in this, so I oblige and walk over to the other side of the street
where I see the sign in the second and third pictures indicating that I
should... HEY! Wait a second!!!

They said it couldn't be done, but with sheer force of will I actually
managed to clean the office. It turns out there was carpet underneath
all that stuff. Who could have known?

When sprinklers attack...

You never know when improperly adjusted sprinklers are going to be
hiding just off the sidewalk, ready to taunt and harass the pedestrian
commuters of our fair city.

Capitol Defense!

I saw these Air Force people unloading something that looks like a
sailplane out in front of the capitol building, today. I, for one, can
sleep better at night knowing that our capitol is being guarded by a
heavier-than-air vehicle without a motor. :)

It was worth a shot. With the help of jumper cables, a car manual, the
internet, and a pair of treos for illumination, the electrons were
flowing but the starter wasn't starting. The current failed to live up
to its potential. Fortunately, Albert showed up and saved the day with
his 1.21 jiggawatts of Big Red Truck power.

I spent the afternoon hanging out in St. John's, a small historic port
town that was assimilated into the city of Portland, Oregon. This
neighborhood is an odd juxtaposition of the old and the new.

Utah really knows how to shake it! This
6.3 magnitude earthquake with an epicenter near the Nevada-Utah border
was a seismic alarm clock that was actually able to wake me up this
morning at my hotel room in Ogden, Utah. The bed was shaking back and
forth, and I didn't even have to put any quarters in! If it's all right
with everyone else, I'd like to schedule another one for tomorrow at
6:30am, but closer to the Cheyenne area.
