Mike and I are on vacation at a campground in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. It is beautiful with mountains on three sides and a river right behind the trailer. There is no cell phone coverage, no TV coverage, no radio except a flamingly twangy country station, but by cracky we've got internet! I needed to have internet because I've stupidly decided to go back to school. I will call this stupid until I get the degree, then I will decide it is the smartest thing I've ever done.
Mike and I went to the Fred Harmon art museum today. Fred Harmon was the cartoonist that drew the Red Rider and Little Beaver series.....Robert Blake played Little Beaver on TV. The guy was a good artist but I have to say with 21st century sensibilities it was quite racist; making the indians look kind of dumb. But those were the times. Mike loved every minute of it! He got to see an orginal Little Beaver BB gun! I had to pretend my knees were sore to get him out of there. Oh wait my knees are sore from climbing up and down cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde.

Actually it was a Red Rider BB Gun and it was the first and only BB gun I ever owned. I few years later I got the real thing. Then a few years after that I joined the military and they let me play in SE asia for a while. Never had any desire to pick up another weapon after that. But, the journey back to my youth was a lot of fun.
Mike
