A week or so ago, heading into the storm East bound on I-70 I was thinking “why am I not staying home in Delta today”? The answer was simple, very good prices on furniture at the American Furniture Warehouse in Glenwood Springs. The drive was worth it, as the furniture got moved into our new home this past weekend. The scenery on the drive over was not bad either.
No Noah, I said two of the same kind, and turn off those headlights!
$400 seems a good price for an albino horse with minimal care and feeding requirements that gets along well with stone children……..
As far as kids go, I suspect these are fairly low maintenance, but my guess is that talking to them is like talking to a rock. I will keep the ones I have, even if it does cost me $30 to get out of a fast foot restaurant!
Back on March 5th, Anulla asked about being able to take out visitors for Chinese food. Well, I suspect those visitors would not be welcome, but there are indeed two Chinese restaurants in Delta. I think the American flag in the window is a nice touch!
The grass has not greened up yet, but the temperature was a perfect 70 degrees, and the JV Delta Panther’s took their first game against Nucla Mustang’s 11 to 3. Go Panther’s!
Last week, Delta got one of its largest snow falls of the year (some 5 inches). The plows did their work, but that made it a bit harder for the sun to do it's job.
Sometimes I am amazed at where people will go the mile on something. This is the REAR kitchen door, located in an alley for a restaurant in town.
You know, when I got this thing up over 100 mph, the front end just started feeling mushy, so I thought maybe a spoiler would help, so I took it over to the shop and…………
The Chief of Police in Delta has produced his own Coffee Mug, so I figured a mug shot would be in order.
There is a concept in the mountains of the “snow line”. That is above this elevation you will see snow. It is related to the drop in tempature as you climb in elevation. The Snow Line on this day was about 6000’
I wish I had paid attention when being showed what different paw prints were from.
Even this remote bridge is not safe from those who fail to appreciate the efforts of others.
Nope. The right leg is an "ad" for "Columbia Savings" This it is simply capitalism at its best (or worst perhaps).
Was there a wood shortage? Did the builders of the park need to steal the sign leading to the Federated Women’s Club of Delta?
Not all of the water in the park is in ponds. In this case it almost seems like there may be some small rivers.
The trails in the park wind through marshy areas, some small some large, that cover this confluence. I suspect it makes for a good place to watch wildlife.
Montrose, some 20 miles to the south of Delta seems to have a bit of a different climate. I guess it was easier to erect a barricade as opposed to moving this cone when it fell………or perhaps, it is the start of an art war between Delta and Montrose…..
Late last fall, some of the corn fields in the area were cut down, but others are still up today! I am told that it has a lot to due with how wet the fields are, but I suspect if a field is still up in February, there is not much to salvage.
The Dobies are a very fun place to photograph, but they have a dark side. Remember, the Dobies are essentially mud hills, and when things warm up as they did this week, they show their true colors. This mighty warrior from 2/7 found out the hard way, and was brought down to size as a result.
In the mood for a hamburger while you sit in your car and enjoy the cool of the night? This Sonic drive in is for you then.
This is your car on rail road tracks……Any questions? They actually park this trailer around town near various rail road crossings. Somewhat effective I think.
Old fashion street lamps can be found all along 
Compared to many of the cities represented by daily blogs, a 115 year old building may not seem all that old, but considering how quickly many western cities sprung up, this is really rather amazing. A lot of effort is put into preserving the old buildings, so perhaps many generations to come will get a glimpse into the past.
I want food, water, and I want it now…..Oh yea, I'll take that cat too.....but please de-claw her first.
Ok, I admit it, this is not Delta. You won’t find this much water within a thousand miles of my town, however, the water from the Gunnison could very likely end up here in 
Much of 
It is funny you should ask Annie (see yesterday’s comments). We have looked over the Delta housing market rather extensively, and have not found anything we want to buy. One place caught our eye however. We looked it all over, and it was ok, but when I was standing outside, I bust out laughing. Up on the chimney, in brick, were the initials of my last name, and my wife’s maiden name. The frown however confirmed that this was not the place for us.
So a couple of days ago, Photowannabe was looking for an A in a place it really did not exist, so today I will give her the real thing! I hope she does not notice the “V” in the window……. I have been in
Back on 1/10/07, we gave you options if your name was Edward, Eisner, Eli, but the Kaisers, Kowalskies, and Koles were out of luck. Well no longer…
