Luckily my Subaru Forester was small enough to go between your truck and the rock wall without crashing into either. My theory is that you had water in the tank, and you went around the corner too fast, and the water sloshed to one side and the weight made it hard to get the truck through the turn. A reminder to water haulers, and everyone. Slow down stay in your lane, and also do not pass bicycles on blind corners. I like living, and hope you do too.

Thanks to all who attended or sent donations. Then at 1:00 PM the action moved to 16 1/2 and DS Rd. for Glade Park's second parade (when was the first one?). Then the parade ended up at the new Glade Park Community School for their Fall Fest. The weather was beautiful, and Pinon Mesa was decked out in fall color. Thanks to all who helped to make things happen, and those who came out to support the activities. Sep 28, 2009, Art show for Pinon Mesa artist Harold Bryant

It appears that a hiker or mountain biker must have "borrowed" it to get to the trail head. Borrowing without permission is still theft. Not advisable.

It is the loss of one more piece of our pioneer treasure. In addition to being a dear friend, she has been a collaborator in collecting Glade Park history for the book we are working on. My biggest regret is that she will not see it in print, but I hope that she enjoyed the research trips and interviews of old timers as much as I have. Her funeral will be at Calahan-Edfast Mortuary, Saturday, July 25th at 10:00 am.

I hope that the person it was stolen from will go to the New Currents page submission form and give us a description, or better yet, download a picture of it, with contact info. Although it has probably already left these parts, maybe someone saw something that would be helpful in solving the crime. We need to be curious about anything that looks suspicious. Would you rather have nosey neighbors, or have someone get away with ripping you off? I choose nosey neighbors, or Neighborhood Watch.

WRONG! These conditions are encouraging grass and weeds to grow, which creates even more fuel. Later on in the summer when it gets hot and dry the risk of a big fire goes up. Right now, after a rain, is a good time to mow the grass and weeds around your house. There is a lower risk of a spark from the mower hitting a rock starting a fire --yes, that can happen in hot, dry conditions. If you haven't cleared brush and trees that are too close to your house, this is the time to do that also. For more tips on fire mitigation follow this link. Permalink -- click for full blog post "Why worry about fire mitigation during wet weather?" Jun 17, 2009, The baby blue birds love a bath...It is time to fill the bird bath. The bluebirds eat insects, so they will not come in to a bird feeder. But they love a drink and a bath. Right now the babies are out of the nest, and the whole family comes in together, for lessons in bathing. We have the Western Bluebirds here. The males are bright blue, but the females also have soft greys and browns, along with some blue. If you do not have any blue birds, a bird bath may still attract them this year. And if you do not have any blue bird houses on your property, get some out for next year!
