 There is no “i” in “Denver,” but there is certainly one in “Rain” and there should maybe be another in “Colorado September,” and also one in “That was extremely fun, but also cold and uncomfortable and vaguely damp all over.”
It seems, though, that Denver doesn’t care if it’s raining because that Tour de Fat just kept going regardless. Tip of that hat to you all accordingly, Mile High City, and we mean it. Just when we thought we should put away the books (since as you well know paper doesn’t fair well in moisture, not unlike cotton candy at the circus), people starting flocking to the Nomadic Engagement Device and buying up our stockpiles of Matter and Boneshaker. Tucked neatly away in waterproof totes and purses, these publications were carried off to nice new dry homes, so thank you.
And the (humid) stage show was of course a hit (again), we’d like to believe, since Landfill and Recycling have really begun to come into their own in these roles (personified so adeptly that you’d hardly know that those were people up there dressed as such entities as a curbside tin can and a plastic rectangular receptacle and not the actual containers themselves, dancing and chanting in unison). “We divide our in waste three ways… la la la…”
Whatever the case may be with the weather here—sunny and warm, then rainy and cold, then moderately comfortable and cloudy for a spell, then all of them at once right before eveningfall—Denver, we salute you, even if the bike parade had its fits and starts per DPD’s tightly controlled speed regulations.
We’re next off toward the Republic of California, but if you somehow missed our wildly imaginative duo and their gypsy cart of literary and educational goodies, just swing by your very own Tattered Cover Bookstore and fill your basket with the publications of Wolverine Farm, and thereby support two local Colorado businesses at once.
Drying, warming, and dreaming,
