Well, first we’ll talk about our weather then I’ll give you a few thoughts from my trip to Denver on Air Force duty.

 Storms fired off again today with over an inch and a half of rainfall in many areas.  These were sea breeze type of storms that are very common this time of year.  The problem comes when they don’t move very fast or much dumping tropical rains over the same area causing some flooding issues and lots of lightning.

We’ll see more afternoon showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday and with an approaching trough of low pressure on Thursday. 

Try tracking it online with our new interactive radar!  It’s radar YOU control and is awesome.

Okay…now for some other stuff.  Just back last evening from Denver where I had to attend some Air Force meetings.  Our meetings went well and we have some amazing people who serve this nation in the Air Force Reserve and I’m proud to be apart of it all.

I did have a notable dinner experience that was one for the books!  On the suggestion of one of my Air Force peers, Jeff, we went to this Mexican restaurant called Cafe Bonita in Denver.  The place looked a little like a Mexican Chuck E Cheese from the outside.  On the inside, it looked like a Vegas buffet line as you make your way deeper and deeper into this maze of caverns where you order first.  After ordering, you continue to sink lower into this maze of rooms.  While descending, we pick up our dinners on a tray.  Just then a plate came falling from a table above and smashed on the floor right in our path which I promptly stepped in.  My sneakers were now a mix of tacos and rice with a side of black beans.  The TSA guy at the airport wanted to ban me from the flight the next day it stunk so bad!!

We were finally seated in this dark looking cave that was around 100 degrees with these weird things hanging from the roof that looked a little like the underside of a cow!

In other parts of the restaurant, actors performed for the dining public.  At one point the actors stand high atop a cavern and dive about thirty feet into a pool while people cheer them on apparently taking their mind off the taste of the food and the service.

In its hay-day, back in the early 70’s, the place was probably pretty neat.  It’s still cute for the kids or anyone who might want a fun experience while not caring too much for the food and drink.  Oh, sorry, we only had one soda.  The guy serving us disappeared into the cave only to be seen hours later trying to find our checks.

Jeff took a lot of heat for his suggestion from the crew and our big boss.  He’s now clearing ice from the runways in the Aleutian Islands!
