Taste--and tasteless--of Colorado

Kalisha is such a grand old lady. She's 18--can you believe that? She spends a lot of time sleeping under the down duvet. Doesn't she look cozy?
I spotted these German Shepards at Safeway yesterday. They were waiting for their Mom or Dad to come back. I don't think anyone will be trying to steal tools from that truck, do you?
Trish & I went to the Taste of Colorado at Civic Center Park in the middle of downtown Denver today. First, we spotted some of the Tasteless. Why is she wearing this in public?Some things we saw were really cool, like these contact lenses. Scary!And the butterfly face paint...One of the venders, Shake the Toad, had an air band playing along with the music. This is to Heart's Barracuda. His guitar strap says "Police Line, do not cross!" Trish and I had to join in!The sun started setting around 8pm. Downtown was lit up. Trish and I were stuffed. The Taste of Denver does it right--you can actually buy just a "taste" of food, so we tried all sorts of things that we've never had. My fav was boar sausage--it was delicious!We went to the center of the park for the concert. To the west was the Court House. The bell tower is always lit in blue. It's really spectacular.To the the east is the Capital Building (Denver is the state capital, in case you didn't know).Then the headliners...The Spinners! They played all of their hits--and they had a lot of them! Everyone was dancing and singing along...it was really festive and fun!On the way out, we saw this fellow selling magnet for magnet therapy. I wondered if the magnets made his hair stand up like that... Have a fun and safe Labor Day! Watch out for magnets!
