I really like the view from i70 right at the start of the foothills. Its looking south to the Palmer Divide in in the distance you can see Pikes Peak. Usually I am traveling in the afternoon and the dust in the air picks up the shadows and light coming from the south which gives it a prehistoric look as there are no human buildings in the distance. I haven’t really spent any time in the foothills, which are very dry right now....

I need to get back in the habit of Godot study. There are a couple reasons I dropped off… Focusing more on Boot.dev which is Python study right now. I want to keep my streak alive for January, and I am using Boots alot to help… but I feel like I am learning too. I want to run more. I want to make time to exercise as a highest priority of the entire day....

I cant wait to inlcude these passenger rail routes. But first I need to go back and visit them in person.

So I am looking forward to being a remote self-worker some day....

First, it was really cold, with wind, so maybe it was in the single digits, but around 13 on my car. Second, the snow blew away from the exposed areas of the trail, which were hard to see. Third, I just had waxed them and now there are some areas where rocks and pebbles which tore up my new wax and make alot of rips into the actual skis....
