TV Shows I Am Watching

People always ask (especially these days) "What TV shows are you watching?" And I can never remember. So I'm making a list here, probably more for my benefit than yours...

Cougar Town (just the early episodes I hadn't already seen)
Jeopardy
Law & Order: Organized Crime
Legends of Tomorrow
Milo Murphy's Law
Resident Alien
Svengoulie
Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist

I was actually watching a lot more a month ago, but I finished them/they ended...

I will probably keep this updated.

National Postcard Week: May 2-8 2021: Frozen Dead Guy Days 2017 postcards

Day four of #NationalPostcardWeek!

More of the "instant" postcards from Frozen Dead Guy Days, this time from 2017. When we went in 2018, they weren't doing the postcards that year, and we skipped 2019, and they skipped 2020 and 2021!

Note that these are all from the parade. I didn't see postcards from any later events, but maybe we didn't wait long enough...

National Postcard Week: May 2-8 2021: West Colfax Motels

It's National Postcard Week again, and Day 1 is almost over! So quickly, here's some postcards of motels on West Colfax Avenue in Denver and Lakewood, Colorado.

These two motels are long gone...
Max Mosko's Motel

Idlewild Motel

This one is still standing, almost unchanged I thought, but Google is telling me it is permently closed now, so it probably won't stand much longer.
Stonewall Motel

These were the bar and restaurant at a huge four-story hotel/motel. It was converted to senior apartments years ago, and has recently been re-converted into condos! The bar and restaurant space is currently vacant.
Four Winds Motel

Happy Lingerie Day!

Today, April 24, is National Lingerie Day! I know that last year I said April 25 was Lingerie Day, but if you do a quick Google you can find plenty of support for both dates. I'm going with the 24th because that's what National Sexy Holidays says, and they should know!
