Ah! A clear day today! Slept on a great bed with a Memory Foam mattress – that was different – and got … up … slowly … god! I hurt! EVERYTHING hurts. Well, today is definitely a rest day, so my body has one day to heal.
We go into town to look for some stuff we need – I need to get something notarized and then mail it off. Where to find a notary? A bank! Yes! Go to Bank of the West, and it’s “Oh, sure! Of course we can do that! Oh, wait – are you a customer? No? Sorry, you’ll have to go elsewhere”. Really. I’m standing there thinking he’s going to say $5, or $10, if you’re not a customer, but NO, if you’re not an existing customer, you get NOTHING from us! Go to a public notary, Jack, just go away. I did, and I knew at that point that I will NEVER be their customer. Went to the Chamber of Commerce, who were not much more help, though they did say “Try the realtor across the street”. I did, a very nice lady at Coldwell Banker Realtors, who did it FOR FREE, even though they do not offer Notary services to the public. THAT is service! I know she heard in my voice that I was very unhappy with my previous experiences, and she did not have to do it, and I would have understood from her, BUT SHE DID IT ANYWAY – If you need a realtor in Crested Butte, CO, go see those folks, they are VERY helpful!
So what now? LUNCH! I wanted Pizza, so we went to The Brick Oven – yeah, how did they come up with that name for a pizza place? Weird! We ordered a small Supreme, with added jalapeños, in a thick crust:
They INSTANTLY slid into the number two spot, tied with the Slippery Otter, but still not quite up to Fatty’z. Nevertheless, EXCELLENT pizza. We get done eating, start to leave … what is that pitter patter? Is it rain? Yes … no … hail no. It’s HAIL! Several people tell us it’s the biggest hail they’ve seen in Crested Butte:
Doesn’t look that big to me, but since more than one person said it, I’ll believe it! Great. No riding today, even if we wanted to. I did look to my right and saw a funny sign across the street – well, only funny because it was hailing:
Yes, the vertical streaks on the car window are hail – “Watch Out For Falling Ice”, indeed!
We head back to the house, and it does not stop raining. Great. I get my MacBook Pro upgraded to 10.8.5, so there IS that, but I’d rather be doing something else. Still raining, maybe I’ll upgrade my iPhone to iOS 7 that came out today. Got nothing else to do!
