November 8 Colorado 

We are going there for a holliday on Thanks Giving long weekend . I don’t know what Thanks Giving is really all about but i’l get back to that in a few weeks . We took up the cheap airfare options and thought Denver , Colorado looked pretty cool . This will be our first taste of real America , old school style folk . Should be fascinating .We don’t know much about it . There’s a big brewery culture , the Denver Broncos ( playing away that weekend), The Rocky Mountains , drive through marajuana chains and a liberal gun culture .Old school hospitality , coupled with a snow mountain backdrop will be a treat . I don’t get paranoid about guns here but you are aware that they’re out there. Just recently a guy killed 3 people in a Walmart rampage in Colorado . The cops couldn’t find him at first and he escaped the complex . You see when the shooting went down and the calls came in ,the cops converged on the joint and surrounded it . The scene was total chaos as several patrons were crouched taking cover with their guns drawn . The police didn’t know who was the bad guy . Tragic , but hilarious. What ya do ? The NRMA claimed it as an example of how more guns can help , as it probably thwarted the gunman from killing more . Sadly they’re probably right.They had to trawl through the video over 5 hours to identify their man , who had long escaped .   All I can say is : I will not lose my temper and complain about service , even when going through drive through , especially the green drive through. Experience tells me that this is when youre most on edge , just before the green stuff is placed in your hand .  Yep we’re going on a holliday with our eyes wide open , can’t wait .
