The Paradox of the Prankster


 My Thursday Mantra -- Prank's Back At The Beach Edition
 



Took a walk this morning
As the Sun rose above the Sea
Sea birds diving and playing
Life is singing harmony

Thought about those times
Where I felt uncertainty
So I took a look around and
Embraced the changes inside of me

Walked by the pier where we met
Smiles burst spontaneously
And I saw my Girl last night
I'm as lucky as a Man can be

As I make my new Home and
Find employment gainfully
My excitement builds as I
Look towards the future happily

 My Pre-Monday Mantra -- I Can Feel It In My Knee Edition
 



Little flakies flyin'
Smaller than seen by eye
Swirling hints of Winter
October snow a-coming
I can feel it in my knee

So the first frozen shower
Before the next Sunrise
Brings scarce water
The happiest people will
Surely be my Trees

Highway ice rink deadlocks
Happens too with
Those first snowfalls as
Everyone remembers what
Happens when streets freeze

One of the joys a Mile High
Weather often changes in
A blink of your eye
And to think that Sunny
Yesterday it was 78 degrees

 My Weekend Mantra -- Everybody Needs A Hero Edition
 



You know I got me this hero
Someone very strong
Who does what it takes
And pays whatever price
To do what needs to be done

I never hear whining
About how unfair Life is
Just the resolve and faith
A joy in the hero's heart
To do what needs to be done

Now I greet each Sunrise
With my hero anchored firm
In every beat of my heart
As each day I make my way
To do what needs to be done

For there is no burden
Heavier than having no Love
I will give it all that I got
Helping my hard working hero
To do what needs to be done

 My Friday Six -- Let's Go For A Ride! Part 2 Edition
 

I took over 150 pictures on a drive I took along the Peak to Peak Highway aka Peak to Peak Scenic Byway from Estes Park, CO to Nederland, CO on Friday, 29 September 2006. And since this is a Friday Six, I had some pretty nice shots still left from the ride. And since many of you have not seen this part of the World I thought another Six shots might be in order.

All pictures except for the map were taken today by me on my mid-day drive in the nearby Rocky Mountains.

The Peak to Peak Highway starts at Estes Park, CO.


The Lake Estes boat ramp area was pretty quiet this breezy morning.


Sitting on a ledge just East of Estes Park, CO off of Route 36.


The Twin Peaks -- Mount Meeker at 13,911ft elevation and Long's Peak at 14,255ft as seen from the near Allenspark, CO.


Rock wall next to Highway as I sat in the car for some minor roadwork to be completed to allow passage. This may be why these mountains are called the Rockies...I kept looking at that wall and thought it was pretty cool.


Highway 119 runs next to Boulder Creek on the ride down Mountain from Nederland, CO.


The route begins and ends in Longmont at 4,722ft elevation. I started west northwest to Estes Park (7,552ft) and then caught the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway south to Nederland (8,236ft) and then rolled east down the mountain to Boulder (5,440ft) before back to the Prankster's Palace. See map below:




I hope you have a great weekend!

 My Thursday Mantra
 



In every Village
And each Town
Hard to miss them
Self righteous clowns

Smugly self serving
Parading sanctimonious
Self congratulatory
Twits are the phoniest

Best to ignore them
I'm done with their slime
They turn my stomach
And ain't worth my time
