Your house burned down? How devastating!One of the most beautiful views that I witnessed while flying was flying over the Rockies after a heavy snowstorm had passed. Towards evening when the sun begins to set, the reflection of the yellow/orange sun showers over the snow. Had my house not burned down just before retirement, I would have gladly posted some beautiful pictures.
This picture shows what we call a cloud bank. I have seen some beautiful cloud banks over the Pacific around San Francisco.
Yes. I had mentioned it before, but no details. It was two months before I was to retire. My wife had already retired from the university. She retired from Johns Hopkins. She was attending another retirement party and I was in California, having flown there earlier in the day. The fire was in the beginning of November. Yes, just before the holidays. The Fire Marshall initially listed it as undetermined, but did a second investigation and decided on the wiring from the new HVAC we had installed just a few months earlier was the cause. We had the heat pump replaced and the Fire Marshall wrote on the insurance affidavit that it was a faulty installation. Whether it was or not, I do not know, but the insurance company needed to have the Fire Marshall list a cause before paying.Your house burned down? How devastating!
Super, nice pic. The only "Stairway to Heaven" I know is by Led Zeppelin!I am told this is a trail way in Colorado leading up to Pikes peak. Amazing view.
