do hogs sweat? and if they do, do they wear sweat clothes?

it's your choice to click or not, the picture waits for what you've got, the nerve to click before you forgot, you've lost your nerve, you ain't got squat.

Today was mostly a day of relaxing and recuperating from all the running around I did this last week on my mini-vacation.

In a few of the mountain towns I drove through this last week I saw diesel fuel getting dangerously close to five dollars a gallon, and I have heard that due to the international markets, diesel fuel is going to get more expensive this winter. It seems like every year there's some reason or another why I have to pay more for diesel fuel.

I'm still trying to find places to put things in the Lance, it seems like I have more things than I do places to put them. And as usual I'm pretty sure the solution to that is to get rid of some of those things.

I'm pretty sure I have too many clothes, and the reason being is I don't like doing laundry. Although, now that I can set outside the laundromat in the Lance where it's comfortable, doing laundry is not nearly as bad as before. But the more clothes I have the less I have to do laundry... Makes sense to me. Or maybe I could do with less clothes, and learn to love doing laundry. Or maybe I will win the lottery and when my clothes get dirty I can just throw them away and buy new ones, that would solve a lot of my problems.

I know I can get rid of some of my pajamas. I sleep in sweat clothes and I'm pretty sure I have too many, its that laundry problem again. I prefer sleeping in sweat clothes because in an emergency I can wear them outside, in fact it doesn't even have to be an emergency I see people wearing sweat clothes at Walmart all the time since Walmart's dress code appears to be somewhat lax.

I have figured out that no matter what the season, I'm more comfortable sleeping in sweat clothes, because whether I'm in the desert in the winter, or Denver in the summer, night times are still cool enough to need sweat clothes to stay comfortable. That's one of the good things about Denver, no matter how hot the day is, night time temperatures are going to be in the 50s or 60s, which is good sleeping weather if you dress accordingly.

And just to be clear, for those of you living in the South where the humidity often matches the temperature. When I say sweat clothes I am in no way talking about actually sweating. We do sweat in the low humidity of the West, even though it appears we don't. The sweat just evaporates so fast that you don't realize your sweating because your clothes don't get wet, so no one ever has that "sweating like a hog" look so prevalent in South Florida.

Many years ago  I used to go to San Luis Lake when it was a Colorado State Park.  And when it was a State Park, the building in the background was the visitor center, office, and the Ranger's residence on top. The building in the foreground was the restrooms and shower rooms. Now they're  empty and stand as a reminder of what used to be.

There's not many things that will make me get up at dawn, but taking pictures of the Sandhill Cranes as the sun is coming up is one of the things that will.
