Another beautiful  morning in the Rockies--warm, sunny, and dry.

Obviously we've found a WiFi.  For the price of a coffee and a really gooey cinnamon bun, we get to use it for 2 hours.

We had our morning meeting with Herd and Yvonne and decided on a hike this afternoon.  Here's a picture taken yesterday of a Columbia ground squirrel, a smaller relative of the prairie dog, and a shot of your faithful correspondent and his furry companion on one of those chilly mornings a few days ago (note the long-sleeved flannel shirt).  For you wise-guys out there, the rodent is the one sticking out of a hole in the grass.
