After the munchies were sated, we got some videos and held a low-key evening, which is actually not a bad way to spend a Sunday night.




Monday morning, fully recovered, we picked up a rental car for our trip to Boulder (and getting me back to the airport the next day, as Janice had to go to work). Budget claims that they officially rent Ford cars (says it right on the rental agreement), but I have actually never had a Ford with them. It's always Chevrolet. I can't explain that.




Did I mention that we did errands in Denver? On the way north to Boulder, we stopped at the post office to pick up a parcel. This is what I call practical design: The lines are so slow, they give you benches to wait on.




We were headed toward Eldorado Canyon near Boulder, so after driving past miles and miles of suburbs, industrial parks and big-box stores - with no undeveloped land at all along the highway between Denver and Boulder - we turned off onto a smaller highway and headed for the foot of the first low range of mountains (big hills, really) to the West.
