Alas, a sport and team I cannot bring myself to mention has put the kind people of Kansas into a state of despair. Instead of remaining in the fetal position, crying and moaning, I decided to supress my anger and sadness and do something useful today in honor of the red and blue.
I should also mention that in order to acquire the necessary aluminum needed for this project, we headed north to the Lewis and Clark National Forest for a couple days of rest and relaxation. A friend of mine has an 80 year old forest service cabin in the Rocky Mountain Front Range, with all the amenities: no water, an outhouse, and a wood burning stove. Just the way I like it!
