It was a slow Sunday here… late up, late out, took a small drive through Downtown C Springs and then up to Monument and east to the Black Forrest and then back in to town with a few stops on the way… getting rested up for the drive home.
Remember the old days… the VW camper was always a Happy Camper…
When I shot the Happy Camper, I didn’t realize what was in the far upper right of that picture… interesting mural on the wall and one of the windows was open…
The downtown park had a vendor display but again… a picture with multiple things going on… look for it all… I won’t crop it to help here…
We were checking out some of the booths and this one…. interesting the items for sale… I like to look at crystals and gem stones but the guys running the booth… Real Gem Stones… huh?
Odd place to put your shoe? or loose it maybe?
That place has been there for a really long time… I remember seeing that Navajo sign back in the 70’s and not sure it may even be a 50’s vintage thing?
bad shot through the windshield… but had to stop to check it out, and no, it was actually a store for plan old stuff like home decoration type stuff..
There ain’t much in down town Monument or what I think was down town but a very very busy Mex restaurant and this airplane on one corner and
Train on another corner…
in the Black Forrest we came on a pottery shop that was open so we stopped… and found that dog that never moves…
Back to town, bought some gas for the start of the trip tomorrow and got some more 505 Green Chili Sauce for making my own Green chili… and had a bit of a time with that purchase… I got the stuff… went to the self check out register… hit the start, then put in my alternate number for my “member” card at King Supers… and proceeded to check my stuff out… got the jars, then wanted a news paper but it wouldn’t scan that… finally got the scan, paid with CC and got receipt and … hey it didn’t give me the discount price on the chili… “oh you will have to get that worked out with customer service… well, I got behind a lady that had to cash a big check and that took for ever… then when I got there I explained that it didn’t take my member card number and charged me the full price … ok… so she rang up the jars to give me back my money and then charge me the correct price… but then only gave me back the discount price… “wait – they were $3.99 each so the return to my card should be that price and then we charge out the correct price… well that required a manager to over-ride and we went through it all again and credited the 3.99 and then I though we were ready to ring them trough at 2.99… well at that point… she had to take my phone… (where I keep all my member cards) and run the number in at the other register and then came back and said she gave me 20 points for the purchase… and that was it. What about now charging me the $2.99 for each… “no they now free because it wouldn’t take your card” … wow… I like that place other than it took 40 minutes to get it all worked out… Anyway I got my stuff, and back to the house to rest up a bit and read my paper… tomorrow will be a long driving day, again…
