311th New Thing - River Tubing on Clear Creek


It was hot in Denver today, about 93F so we wanted to cool off by trying river tubing in Clear Creek in Golden CO. Back in the spring, I bought 2 Intex River Run Tubes from Target.com for about $15.00 each. Our tubes are 53" diameter circle with mesh bottom to keep cool, backrest for comfort, 2 heavy duty handles (with rope), and 2 cup holders for drinks. We finally got to use them today. We drove about 30 minutes west to Lions Park in Golden CO.

Clear Creek is one of the best tubing areas close to Denver. Clear Creek Whitewater Park offers exciting ripples, waves, and drops. Anybody looking for a lazier float can avoid a lot of the white-water by choosing the right stretch of creek. This one is also not too long, so you'll be fine with one car and hiking back at the end of the float to do it again!

47th New Thing - Watched Laverne & Shirley

The show aired on ABC from January 26, 1976, to May 10, 1983 and starred Penny Marshall as Laverne De Fazio and Cindy Williams as Shirley Feeney. They were roommates who worked in a fictitious Milwaukee brewery called "Shotz Brewery". The show was a spin-off from Happy Days, as the two lead characters were originally introduced on that series as acquaintances of Fonzie. I watched Season 7, Episode 22, "Perfidy in Blue" originally aired on May 11, 1982. This episode started out with Shirley looking for Laverne's favorite blue purse that she borrowed and lost. Laverne asks where it is because she would like to use it on her date. Shirley lies and says she hasn't seen it. Shirley then watches TV and daydreams that she is in the TV show and married. Laverne is having an affair with Shirley's husband and Laverne tries to poison Shirley. Shirley pretends she is dead. Shirley wakes up and ...
