Camping in Colorado
Camping this weekend.
There is something about being up in the mountains that refreshes a soul.
We thought we would do more camping this summer but time got away from us.
A few more day hikes and summer will be gone.
Here's one of the deer we saw, and the bird in the sky is a vulture circling
Social Order
All through history, people with money, land and homes
rule over those who have less money, tiny plots of land or small homes. If the
wisest man of all times lived on the street who would listen to him. But if a
fool has money, land or a large home, his opinion counts.
Sometimes we see this
very thing in Hollywood.
Money equals power, influence and more money.
In Regency England, they divided their social order
according to wealth.
Aristocrats – These are the Lords and Ladies that were
very wealthy and their families. (titled or untitled) Very wealthy personages
and those descending of old families that were peers of the realm.
Gentry – These are very old families that usually have
large estates. People that made their money in trade can buy a very old home
and will be included into this category only if they have very nice manners and
never engage or talk about trade.
Tradesmen – They work and therefore must be avoided at
all costs. Except if you need their services. Do not strike up a conversation
with them. They are not your equals.
Laborers – All the people that work. Servants, groomsmen,
cooks, butlers, etc. Only give them orders.

Hiking above Nederland in Colorado
Hiking this weekend near Diamond Lake. We walked through two waterfalls and a couple of streams. And then far off we could see another waterfall. The whole hike was in the shade with flowers blooming and the smell of pine trees accompanying every step. The rush of the river from below told us we were close to the lake.

Bridges, Streams and Paths
Summertime in Colorado is truly amazing—from the peaceful hum of
rivers to the roaring currents of streams.
One of my favorite places in the world hidden in the mountains
where you can see wildlife and wildflowers. Feast on raspberries, bird-watch or
fish.
This is where I write best. Not what I write is best, but where I
enjoy writing the most.
