Pi Bar
We recently discovered the new-to-us restaurant called 3.14 Pi Bar. I had the Guiness Stew Pot Pie and it was awesome. Unfortunately, it was too filling to try any of their sweet pies at the same time.

Five Years Ago
Five years ago, on June 23, 2012, I was reading Twitter when it blew up with reports of the so-called Pyramid Mountain Fire. I walked out of my garage and took this photo. A few hours later it was renamed the Waldo Canyon Fire, notorious as being the most expensive wildfire in Colorado until the Black Forest Fire not quite one year later.

Hummer in the Snow
