It means

When the Spanish word of the day told me about the meanings of Colorado, Montana, Nevada.. wanted to know about other states.

Treadmill then

I was reading Emerson on art and was intrigued by "made all travelling ridiculous as a treadmill". Treadmill and then?

Leonard Monti Trail

Sounds fancy.. but the easiest, fun trail, close home. Now who thought itsy bitsy A mountain had a trail with such a name?

Open for magic

I did not give into Harry P and his world- I dont know why, but I like to stay away from fantasy.. today, I was so open for 'what can happen'. At laser tag, we had to insert a marker into the laser gun- while doing this and other things, I was hoping for some more such - new experiences?

Manned Easel

One day, almost towards the end of a hike, we approached the back of a painter at work. He was wearing a white shirt with a medium sized fish on it. A clear outline of the fish- skinny sketchy diagram is for us commoners. His fish had its body filled with daubs of colorful paint.
It was interesting to see what he was sketching. His painting had horses in it and he was using the background of mountains to fit in his picture. I was wondering where he painted the horses from.
I have been noticing how, when we hike the same place, at each point I am reminded how something happened. They are building up each time. I am already confusing one mountains feeling with another.

Guinness Brownies

I must have looked the biggest fool to a waitress today. There were lots of coffee drinks to choose from but all had alcohol in them. I have had a sip of Irish coffee- nah! not for me. So when asked for beverages- I said I dont have any of the things in your menu. I stopped my finger at Guinness Brownies. I didnt like the brownie so much- it was moist. Few hours later, knowing it has beer- I feel, had I been in the place of the waitress, I would have pointed out the contents. Its another thing that this brownie is not supposed to have the beer taste.

One stop shop

I went to buy a tube of size 24. Now I was expected to know its width too. I said I wanted some resistant tube. After a phone call, I had the size as 'normal'. Now the shopkeeper believed that there was no normal size. I concur. Then I was expected to look around and point to a similar bike for an idea about the tyre. Now what do you expect of a person who had a bike for a year and didnt know until recently that it had numbered gears. While looking for the cycles.. needless to say that I was imaginatively trying on each cycle..Thats when I was distracted by the camelbacks around.. I have to get that for a hike.. In that built up looking for the list, I asked if they had poles. Now after a phonetics class of bowls and cereals.. in a semi offended tone he said '(Heavens sake..).This is a bike store. go to rei for your cane..' . I knew I could get that stuff at REI. But as it goes with one kind of humans.. I want it at a local store..Well, blame it on the overlap.. When one of the things on the wanted list matched.. I thought I would find the rest..For a minute, the situation seemed like ... when I enetered the store.. the place looked so populated with Alice Land props.. that this place would have eveything...
