Happenstances
Today I was reading a Colorado news feed I get, and there was a story about a guy from a town called Palisade who got appointed to something or other. "Hey, Mike," I said to Mike who was sitting next to me. "There's a town in Colorado called Palisade. Wouldn't it be funny if they had a PARK, and it was named Palisade Park?"
(This is funny because Palisade Park is one of his favorite songs, being about an amusement park.)
So we had to Google it, and you know what? They DO. So now Mike wants to go there, even though it's no bigger than Lamar, is hundreds of miles away and has NO rides of the sort he is most interested in. They ARE famous for peaches and grapes, though. So maybe we will make it there one of these years.
Also cool and apropos of nothing, last weekend the clone found this marvelous coat rack at a yard sale.
It needs a bit of hardware fix-up, but oh yes, we WILL be putting this up on a wall somewhere here in the House of Unruly Fish!
