Leaving San Diego

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

Today we’re driving from San Diego to Boulder. The various mapping services give the drive time on the order of seventeen and a half hours. Most of our things have been picked up by the movers and we’re only carrying the things we need, can’t replace, or is alive (meow). The movers were supposed to have come yesterday so we could leave yesterday, but there was armageddon traffic on I-5 so they delayed coming today. The apartment is empty and we’ve turned in our keys.


Not really how it looks in the middle of July, although it did drizzle this morning

I’m sad to leave San Diego, it has been a very good place to live for seven years. I’m leaving behinds lots of friends and a place I’m used to living with weather I like. Boulder is an exciting new place with new friends to make. It has four seasons, which will be a new thing for both of us. I don’t know if we’ll ever live in San Diego again, but I do want to come back and see my old friends and go for a bike ride with them.

Goodbye!

Polly

Now that Melissa works at home, she can see what goes on during the day at the Mesa apartments. A few days ago she saw a whole flock of these birds above come through and decided to take some photos of them. However she (and I cannot) identify them. She thinks it’s a transient, on it’s way somewhere else because it wasn’t in the San Diego bird book.

I’ve named the bird “Polly”, and I bet it wants a cracker.

Snowy Boulder

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

I just got back from Boulder, Colorado. Although I was there for less than 48 hours, I happened to arrive just as a big spring snow storm arrived. Above is the view from my hotel room in the morning after the storm. Even though it is already late March, this storm was heavy enough to create quite a mess. Roads were closed and fallen tree branches knocked out power. The change from what I’m used to in San Diego was quite startling.

Oh – and this is my first post since November!
