From My Window… 2014 warmer than 2013; gas prices becoming local issue again
I enjoy facts and figures regarding the weather. Maybe it is because I have been exposed to both extremes in my life. While I did basically grow up in Colorado Springs and Boulder, which are mild areas of heat and cold, I have lived in the more extreme climates.

From My Window… Skiing requires money tree; museum impresses; sports return
I just looked out my window and you know what I didn’t see? Not in any direction did I see a single tree with money growing from the branches. I didn’t notice any bills hanging from the trees during the summer, either. But someone must know where they are.

From My Window… Dad a good shot with gift; newspaper deadlines change
