This just in:  there has been another sighting of the Abominable Snowman (you may well remember him as Yukon Cornelius’s new pet, Herbie and Rudolph’s nemesis, etc, etc, etc……..or better yet, you may remember previous posts in which the Abominable has shown up in various and sundry spots around this place).  Whatever.  The Abominable is alive and well and has now been spotted over on the west side of Rabbit Ears Pass.  Cross country skiing no less.  Go figure.  Who knew the Abominable could ski?  I mean really.

In other news, oddly coincidentally, the diva I live with (no, not me, the other one) and I had a lovely day under the big blue sky, enjoying the crisp mountain air and the deep, deep snow on the cross country ski trails on Rabbit Ears Pass.  Evidence of bobcats, coyotes, rabbits and squirrels, but, sadly, no live sightings of them.  Just the Abominable.  All followed by an afternoon in the spectacular Bud Werner Memorial Library in Steamboat.  Followed by a delicious pizza dinner at our favorite Italian place.  Followed, of course, by spectacular Starbucks coffee for the momster.  (That’s m-0-m-ster, not m-o-N-ster, thank you very much).

And, something we couldn’t quite figure out–if anyone out there has an inkling of what the mysterious mossy type stuff is, please do let us know.

And, a quote for the day:

“Whatever you are, be a good one.”

(from the most esteemed President Abraham Lincoln)
