Rocktober

Baseball postseason has started, and I've found myself jumping on the Rockies Bandwagon. I live here, and I'm not going anywhere. So I might as well learn to root for the home team. They are hot; they have won 17 of their last 18. The Rockies have a good, young team. I'm starting to learn some of their players. I can see myself becoming a true fan the longer I live here. The Rockies sweep of the Phillies on Saturday night was nice distraction to a lousy Saturday afternoon. My Bulldogs got demolished. It was worse than the score. I sat through the whole thing in complete disgust. It was ugly. Living in Colorado makes it easier to take though.

On Sunday, I went for hike in the mountain bike infested Alderfer/Three Sisters Park outside of Evergreen. It is a beautiful park, but the mountain bikes are killing some of the trails. The mountains bikes are not going away; they are too popular. Hopefully, the open space parks will start creating separate trails. Even I consider mountain bikes the best kind of recreational vehicle since they don't cause air pollution. There is more hiking for me to do at Three Sisters Park. I might save it for when there is snow on the ground. That is not too far off. Here are today's pics.
