Saw a great opportunity to take some pictures of my M818 with a nice looking Kenworth and 53' van that arrived to move my neighbor. The driver has been flying Old Glory on his bumper poles since 9/11. He has gone through hundreds he says and there has never been a time when they were not on...

The Denver area had some real nasty westerly winds last night. Anywhere from 70 to 95 MPH gusts. Unfortunately the 95 MPH winds fanned a small wildfire up by Fort Collins into a 2000 + acre house burning mess. Down here south of Denver we ONLY had 75 MPH gusts. The wind took down a good...
