Leather Line

In an attempt to enjoy the last few days of Summer Jrod and I drove up into Wyoming to drive around Medicine Bow Natl forest. Most of the Aspens had already turned a fiery yellow orange. If you ever get the chance I strongly recommend a fall trip through this amazing park. We expected a warm sunny day, we got cool wet and windy and breathtaking.

So on the last of Summer here in the beautiful state of Colorado it snowed in the foothills. On the first day of fall I awoke to a balmy 37 degrees and a winter storm advisory. I am starting to suspect that last winter was only just a warm welcome to my move.

What is the point to all of this, nothing really. Maybe just to wish you all a happy fall. Maybe I just needed to voice my surprise at how Summer ended. When I was senior in high school and was wasting my time partying with much older friends, I was told that time would move faster and faster the older I got. I didn’t realize how true that was. The months seem like weeks and the years seem like months. I shudder to think what it will be like when I reach my forties.

Sometimes I am surprised and amused by my own ignorance. I see many stickers on cars around work. One in particular had been surprising me. It is a black and blue rectangle that I had thought was showing the pride and love of leather. I would see two or three cars a week in the shop with them. Last week a woman in her Fifties had one on her PT. Fetishes know no age I guessed. My curiosity got me. I Googled black and blue stickers. And there it was. The Thin Blue Line. Recognizes those who serve in law enforcement. It looks like the Leather Pride sticker I swear.

Mother Mary

Hi Kids, Sorry it has been so long. Sometimes I think I have writer's block even though I am not a writer.
Anyhow, I was on a test drive today when I saw something I haven't seen in years,shocking really. Care to take a few guesses? Yeah, maybe not. It was a Pink Cadillac. Now, the Shocking part wasn't that there was a perfectly good CTS painted Pearl Pink. It was the fact that it had a huge Mary Kay badge on the trunk and two more on the doors. First of all, you don't need to plaster her name all over the car. Everyone and their dead Aunt Penny knows that if you see a Pink Caddy the driver is a pro at slinging Mrs K's wears. Second, Mary Kay is still making make-up?
I know very little of Mary Kay. The only real experience I have is a memory from the 80's which might be a little fuzzy. I was 13 and my Aunt was getting married to a man name Dick. Some people really do live up to their name. He lost his eyebrows the week before the wedding due to stress and the fact that he was a gold digging weasel. I was asked to be a Groomsman along with my two Cousin's and Uncle. The Bridesmaids were my Mother and her three Sister's. The Maid of Honor........a Mary Kay rep. So needless to say the make up was done by Her and Mary.
The girls looked like spackled whores. The Groom's new eyebrow's suggested he was surprised to be there. After a very long Catholic wedding ceremony without air conditioning I noticed that the warpaint worn by the ladies of the night was sagging now making them all look twenty years older and still cheap.
This was many years ago and I am sure that with Sarah Palin animal testing lipstick on pigs that Mary's products have gotten much better? At least they are still rewarding their employee's with American made luxury and not a better made knock-off assembled in America.
