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.
