Re: I'm on Mountain Time!
Before they passed away I tried to get my folks out of Northwest Indiana for
years but finally just gave up. Anyplace my sisters & I suggested was "Too
Hot" (meanwhile while the temp outside was 100 degrees & 95% humidity), "Too
Cold" ( menwhile while it was -20, with a 40 MPH wind off the lake), "Too
Much Crime" (they lived a few miles from Gary, Indiana!), and my favorite
"All Our Friends Are Here" (all their friends were either dead, or in
Florida!)

years but finally just gave up. Anyplace my sisters & I suggested was "Too
Hot" (meanwhile while the temp outside was 100 degrees & 95% humidity), "Too
Cold" ( menwhile while it was -20, with a 40 MPH wind off the lake), "Too
Much Crime" (they lived a few miles from Gary, Indiana!), and my favorite
"All Our Friends Are Here" (all their friends were either dead, or in
Florida!)

Re: I'm on Mountain Time!
Don't miss an opportunity to make a trip to Grand Junction,
in fact, make many. After 34 + years on the eastern side, I
have to claim the opinion that the chunk that is Grand
Junction all the way to the southern border is the most
beautiful part. Never felt it more than the last drive
through there on the way here,
