post primary - probably boring to anyone not in colorado

I voted for Miles. Miles swept our county but lost the state to Salazar at about 3:1, a result that I expected and was actually happy to see, since I know quite a few rural Republicans who will choose the rural, conservative Democrat Salazar over city-boy rich-boy Coors.

I'd estimate that I've spent about 2 hours each day this week so far on party work. Yikes. It's only going to get worse, isn't it.

Oh, um, as some of you know I just got back from a truly awesome backpacking trip in the Weminuche, including five significant peaks climbed. Pictures and stories soon.

Hey, just thought I'd say hi, was doing a search on Durango and came across your journal. (I live over in Oxford now, still hit up Magpies for coffee and convo when I need some civilization, heh.) ~Ryan

I suppose you have to come by our version of civilization - the last time I drove through Oxford the cafe looked very closed, even the car and bike were gone! Although now that there's a Steamworks in Bayfield I guess you can go the other direction.

And I promise not to make any cracks about the wonders of Oxford having internet access.

Haha, yes, the guy who owned the grill split town, I guess his patrons didnt like the fact he was drunk all the time and stopped going. Looks like someone else bought it (suckers..theres a railroad easement right through the middle of the building) and are doing something with it.

Our internet access out here is limited to 26.4k due to poorly routed phone lines, but at least it's something.

Paying $9 for a cheeseburger in Durango is bad enough, doing the same in Bayfield burns even more. I have no idea why they made another SW there..
Adding ya, add me back if you'd like -Ryan
