We're completely dug out of our spring blizzard here in Greeley due to temperatures in the 50's for the past few days. We ended up with a foot of snow here, but it was very heavy, about 4 times the usual density, even heavier than east coast snow. They had 30" in Loveland and Ft. Collins and about 3 feet in Denver. Winter Park got 5 feet in two days ! OK, Homer, I get your point, I'll stop whining about snow so you don't get jealous of our weather's variety. You're welcome to come up for some spring skiing and I'll pick you up at Denver and we'll head for the slopes.

I loved your 'Spirograph' posting, Karen. I have many fond memories of my childhood toys, all unfortunately gone now, except for my Crosman BB gun, which I cannot part with for sentimental reasons. It reminds me of the movie 'A Christmas Story' where the Red Ryder BB gun was the "one thing separating Ralphie Parker from true and everlasting happiness".

As I got older, I realized the folly of thinking that a single toy could separate a person from true and everlasting happiness. Everyone who has reached any level of maturity recognizes that it takes more than one toy to provide true happiness .
