No irrigation system...must be "natural" landscaping. Extremely. Weeds and Chico shrubs. A few cacti. 7-8 blades of grass. Aspens, a fir tree, a couple lilacs… Makes sense...ridiculous to try to grow and maintain a bluegrass lawn there. Believe it or not, there are some out here who insist on doing so. Such a waste... |

Believe it or not, there are some out here who insist on doing so. Such a waste... One reason I’m here is to specifically keep the place as close to natural as possible. I don’t even have permit to water outside, although there is no one checking to see if I do. And I do a bit. Mostly with a watering can, but my trees need a boost too, so I do help them out… |

So, regular mowing was required. Shortly after moving to Colorado I seriously looked at buying a place in Park County, but it would've been too difficult to commute to Denver in the winter months. |

Pretty long haul. I did 80 miles each way on 1-25 for a few months before I just couldn’t do it any more… |

I did 80 miles each way on 1-25 for a few months before I just couldn’t do it any more… "Only" about 50 miles Bailey-Denver, which out west is considered not unusual but, as I'm sure you know, 285 can be tough in winter. I spent most of my career in outside sales, so driving those distances was normal for me...even in New York. Spent a lot of time in my car. |

Grisham had a chance to do both and couldn't get it done. The only guy who brought a bat to the game last night was #99...and maybe Volpe. His leadoff at bat turned out to be a big play in the game. I was thinking about this morning. That pitch Volpe flied out on in the bottom of the first might have been the best pitch to hit of Yamamoto all night. |

Often piling up 200-300, even 350 miles per day. It was different though. No Denver traffic. Not the same place every day… |

I'd much rather drive 100 miles of open road to visit prospects/customers than 50 miles of bumper-to-bumper freeway traffic, which is what Colorado Springs-Denver often is. |
