MANCOS, COLORADO!

Cool! Say, didn't I meet you going the wrong way over Imogene pass once? You remeber me. I was the one driving the beat up Toyota with Colorado plates, and I hopped out and shook my fist at you and yelled, "Stupid flatlanders! Outta my way!" And then after you had to back half way down to let me pass, and I'd driven off in a cloud of dust you realized that it was ME going the wrong way, NOT you! Sure, you remember!

Seriously, let me know next time you come out for a visit and I'll show you how to drive off Land's End in a thunderstorm. Its a kick! You go over the edge of what looks to be a precipice about a 1,000 feet down, ignore the sign that says, "WARNING! Road not recommended!" and lock in your hubs and start floating down through the clouds.

Beleive it or not, the universe must REALLY want me to leave the Front Range almost as bad as I do because today I got the offer a second apartment in the truly cool town of Cedaredge, Colorado, right at the foot of the Colorado Plateau. That apartment I can have by April 1, and they don't even require a damage deposit! Decisions, decisions! West Slope here I come!

Poor unsuspecting fools.

Pffffft! Yeppers, little do they know! They called twice today, too. They long for me and that desperado Belle Starr and that master of Siameseness Mr. Rikki Tikki Tabby and my collection of great C/W CD's that I like to play at top volume, and my prized stick of TNT that's really an old road flare, and my hibachi that I throw juniper logs into to have front porch flame-out BBQ's. I give any abode I reside in a certain Kentucky hillbilly mystique after only a few days.

Other than that I'm a nice former librarian trying to recovery from a disability. (heheheh!)

Cedaredge is tempting because I could just move right on in, and I've been worrying about how to come up with the $500 damage deposit Mancos requires. I really adore the 4 Corners, and Cedaredge is pretty far noth of there. Its really pretty, though.

Its a tough call, I'll have to decide over the weekend which spot I'll head for. The most important thing is that I'm heading OUT of here at long last! YAY, OH, YAY!
