A Loving Handful of Tortillas on Father's Day, by Jim

It was a purty Father's Day day at exactly 10:34:52 a.m. when we arrived atop Loveland Pass on U.S. 6 where the temperature was 49 degrees and the wind steady from the south. The camera was set on ISO 200 at 1/320th of a second at f9.0. I took six pictures of the vista and stitched three of them together. I wanted to take one of the rather large couple huffing and puffing up the trail at 11,990 feet (3,655 meters) and decided against it. They said they had just moved to Denver from California and hadn't had time yet to get into Colorado trim.

We had a delightful breakfast after a 42-minute wait at the Sunshine Cafe in Dillon. Judy had two eggs, over easy, with bacon (crisp) hash browns and an English muffin. I had what she was having, except the eggs were scrambled. Purty soon we too will look like a California couple. A service dog was eyeing us suspiciously and a one-year-old girl at the next table ate a lot of food. We also dined at the Fiesta Jalisco Family Real Mexican Restaurant in Frisco. I read the restaurant inspection report when we got home. I don't think we'll be going back.
