Tough day at work today – busiest day for months. After 6 by the time I finished. I’m supposed to be working part time.
Spotted my neighbour had a grass delivery today – he is laying a new lawn. Now this comes a few days after I start discussing changing my lawn. Does he have a bug in my house? Or is this his secret way of starting another tunnel to find my toilet rolls?
So Day 8 of my 2016 road trip of the USA. This was a driving day. There was one place I really wanted to see. I drove from Limon to Farmington, stopping off at Great sand Dunes.
The Great Sand Dunes is an interesting place. In the middle of the USA there are some enormous sand dunes, and during summer there is a river runs past them from snow melt. Occasionally there is an odd feature called a surge flow and occasionally a bore runs uphill.
To get an idea of the scale then just pick out the people in this photo.
The drive from here involved high passes – also with snow, and some amazing views.
Finally got to Farmington.
I’m not a great fan of the song “All you need is love”, maybe because I also want a packet of crisps. But we need a lot more than love. Having said that I had a feeling today that there is a real lack of love and tolerance in all sides of society.
Too many people seem to be firing from the hip, maybe myself included.
