Thoughts for the day

Starting the week with great fall weather.

Football over the weekend was a mixed bag: CU beat Baylor in OT; Broncos beat the Buccaneers; Cardinals lost to the Lions.

The weekend weather brought some snow to the tops of our nearby peaks while Colorado go 8” in the high mountains.

I’m looking forward to a good week ahead.

 Riddles

A plane crashed between the border of France and Belgium. Where were the survivors buried?
