Dawn and David came down for a visit and we went to the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center. Two great exhibits here. Top is The Migrant Series by Don Coen- amazing large paintings that were airbrushed with pencil details.  The bottom pictures from Front Row Center by Larry Hulst. Great concert photos.
I found out that you aren't supposted to take pictures on the second floor - who knew!

I recently found out that if you have a plant that is leaning too far in one direction you can turn it and it will turn towards the sun. Apparently this also helps strengthen the plant. This one is slowly turning!

The streets around the neighborhood are covered in hydraulic fuel from the trash truck that comes around. We fired these guys because they failed to come to our house a few weeks in a row- also because of this! Really awful.

This is what it looks like when you leave for work at 6:15 in the morning. The bonus was a very easy commute. Internet problem turned out to be a Comcast modem issue - I knew it!

Ugh!  I got nothing today. Weird internet problems at work. Network still connected but no internet. The only pictures I took were of computer screens. 12 hour day. Comcast says it's not their modem but I have my doubts. Further testing tomorrow.
