It is looking like I only post when I have photos or want to ramble about running. But actually, I do other things, really! (Although running is my passion these days. I am not sure why. I suspect it's because Britt is waist-deep in his own passion, which involves solar panels and windmills and federal funding requests and tax benefits, so we are not going hiking or backpacking much these days.)

But Britt was lured away from his work by our friend Jim, who tempted him with fly-fishing from his dory on the Rio Grande near South Fork, so we drove out in our Sportsmobile on Friday night and on Saturday Britt and Jim floated and fished, while I paddled my Fat Cat (which I bought last year after borrowing one to float the Dolores) behind them. Nice and relaxing, and now I really want to get out on the rivers some more.

Then on Sunday we drove back as far as Vallecito where we went to a friend's wedding up on his family ranch at the edge of the wilderness, and we drank a lot of very good beer and ate more food than we really should have and took some home with us. Leftover wedding cake = breakfast of champions!

The fishing sounds delightful!

And, yeah, I suspect it's hard to take more than a couple pictures while you're running.

But, hey, if you wanted to buy a town, a great one for you is up for sale

Ooh pretty. Although I find the Pacific Northwest too wet for my taste. I mean, I love the greenery, but I wish the rain would politely fall at night like it does here.

And, more pictures are coming up.

Oooh, solar panels and windmills - for you own house, or is it a project elsewhere?

He's got his fingers in several commercial/industrial pies. We are investors in San Juan Bioenergy and know a lot of the people who put it together - in fact we have helped a bit with the project - and he is "working" for them (with no salary yet, alas) to try to put together various deals to install industrial-scale alternate energy facilities.

Sounds very interesting (but too bad about no pay)!

We are hoping (very fervently) that some money comes out of it eventually!
