Blog Entry 205 of 210 From the mountains to 6th Avenue
Many Evergreeners commute. It's been described as a commuter community. Accurate. So there is an etiquette to commuting. The first rule: Leave early. Even if you depart for a 9 to five job at 6:30 a.m., you will not be alone. If you like being alone on the highway, go to Montana. The second rule: Leave early If you don't get off til 5 p.m., take a book on tape, because you will be sitting in traffic near Federal and 6th, and entertainment of any kind is helpful. There are polite drivers, like me, who let others sneak in, especially in merge lanes. I try. You probably do too. The one thing I have decided that will not happen to me is that I will not be mangled in a car wreck on 6th Avenue or I-70 in either direction. What do you do to keep this promise to yourself?

Deer nibble on dry ground


There is still a good layer of snow on the ground here at 7,240 altitude, but the sun is shining, so it has that dappled look to it.

The deer are here, calmly nibbling, at what, I am not really sure. The ground still looks pretty dry out here.

If the forecast calls for rain, I figure that's a good thing. I hardly think a couple of wimpy snowfalls we had recently will make up for what's supposed be snow melt at this time of year.

I think I saw daffodils blooming in Lakewood.

If that happened here, I think it would be the top item on the deer buffet menu.
