Erich's Photo and Travel

Okay, Here is your first hint…. We are at the Denver International Airport. We are flying to Atlanta to catch our connecting flight. To where? Wait and see….

Today is the day! Today is the day for what? you might be asking…. You will just have to wait and see. Not like anybody is reading this anyway……

Spent yesterday at Mt Evans in Evergreen. Mt Evans is one of the 14’ers meaning that it is over 14,000 feet high. You can definitely feel the lack of oxygen in your brain at that altitude. We weren’t winded but got a little dizzy a couple of times. The temperature was a balmy 48 degrees (it was 97 degrees at home). Even though we wore shorts, it wasn’t too cold.    

Back in May of this year, I bought tickets to see the Book of Mormon in downtown Denver. We heard that it was really good and decided not to read any reviews. We only knew that Trey Parker & Matt Stone (yes, the South Park guys) were involved. We didn’t know what to expect. I will have to put this on my top three list of plays and or musicals. The other two are, Love Valor & Compassion and Jesus Christ Superstar. If you get a chance to see this when it comes to your town, DO IT. You will definitely not be disappointed.   Can’t say enough good things about it.

Haven’t posted any sunrise photos in awhile…so here they are:  

Did I mention that we are going Solar? We signed up with Solar City and we are 99% done with the install. Everything is in place except for the new solar meter that the electric company needs to add. We had no out of pocket costs on the solar. Basically, it is a lease. We pay .10 cents per kilowatt for power that is not generated by the solar panels regardless of how much energy we use. We have fourteen panels on the roof. Our roof has a great southern exposure which is perfect for solar. The cool thing about solar is that we “bank” any energy we don’t use so, in the winter when we don’t produce as much energy, we can draw off of our reserves. Oh, in addition, Xcel Energy kicks up back.02 cents per kilowatt. Doesn’t sound like a lot but it does add up. Oh, oh in in addition addition, we are entitled to a $4,800 tax write off for going solar. China, here we come!   Doing our part to help lower the carbon footprint
