I did a zipline by myself when I was at S2KDays in Durango, in July 2016. I was a just a youngin of 58 years-old, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat! It was a blast! If you have a need or like of speed, that is.

I appreciate your comment, Dave. Every single time I drive up to Estes Park I just look at the Rockies and I say, "WOW." I don't have to drive the few extra miles to enter RMNP to see the awesomeness. Today was especially a pretty view because of the snow and crystal clear air.

I LOVE your cardinal photos and to me they are nature's Christmas ornaments. They are near the level of seeing the aurora borealis, to me. Really. I have only seen cardinals in Florida, of all places, at my second cousin's in Deland, when I met him for the first and only time while I was there for an ElliptiGO meet in Clearwater. I didn't get a photo as they were too quick to move.

^April 1, 2019. One of the places I saw with my cousin. A bar was on the agenda, too.

My B-I-L, sister and niece went swimming with a whale shark in La Paz. I took photos from the boat. This guy (girl?) was feeding and they move slow if you don't bother them.

Another shot. Sometimes you have to do some fast swimming to keep up with them, but this guy was circling, instead of going in a straight line, so lots of close encounters were had.

I watched a crash happen this morning in Loveland, Colorado, on my way to Denver Airport. The Jeep driver's view was blocked as he was looking to his left before pulling out of a driveway to turn right. A vehicle was turning right, into the same driveway, blocking his view. He went anyway. I talked to both drivers. The black truck driver and passenger were limping but walking. The Jeep guy was fine.

Sorry Lainey, that validates my view of Jeep drivers.

Patricia did you leave your info for the police report? I was always very thankful a truck driver did who witnessed my accident. It resulted in the other driver getting a ticket.

My 2 cents.
Lainey I think the jeep got rear ended. The front end folded from the impact at the back.
I'm pretty sure if the occupants of the Silverado were limping the didn't have seat belts on.
The Silverado did a nice job of folding in a predictable manor, like the engineer wanted it to.
It slowed really nicely, the passengers should not even have had a sore shoulder from the belt
That looks like 30-40 G's max.
