Reflection:
Gotta love these great summer days. No complaints.
Richard is flying back to Mexico.
Before my illness I had bought a pair of leather slipper sandals to
wear around the house. I usually just wear socks. They arrived but were very
tight and hard to get on. Yesterday I pulled and pulled on the heals to stretch
the leather. Amazingly it worked. They now fit well and I’m enjoying them.
This morning I was taking out 2 bags of trash. My Mexican neighbor
saw me coming out the door, walked up to me and said ‘let me take those’. What
a nice neighbor.
Historical events
8 Sept History video
Cool to know:
Not every Model T was
black.
For the first few years
of production, Ford's famous car came in gray, green, blue and red. It was only
after 1914 that customers could order "any color so long as it is
black," as the dark paint dried faster than other hues.
Colorado Wildlife:
Physical Characteristics
Individuals weigh eight
to 12 g and have short ears that almost join at the midline of the forehead.
Wingspread is approximately 300 mm, total length is 90 to 105 mm and the
forearm is 36 to 46 mm long.
Range
Brazilian free-tailed
bats range from southern Oregon and Nebraska to South America. In Colorado,
this species seems confined to the southern half of the
state.
Previously the Brazilian
free-tailed bat was considered only a wanderer in Colorado, but it is now known
to be a summer resident.
