I live on the Blue River in Silverthorne. Would have waved, but I think the Fourth of July snow was in 2005, a year before I bought the place. I skied that morning and sailed that afternoon.
You can call me Anerobic. The grass pollen brings asthma. Not the best thing for living at 9000 feet.
I have done some stupid things descending mountain passes. Have become more cautious, but that took a few surgeries.
I used to ride with Velo Girardeau when I lived south of Cape Girardeau. Wondering whether I knew that guy.
