Ouray ice park is partially closed due to... basically no winter.
50 degree highs for weeks, so thus the partially closing.

Shit. There was a fair amount of ice though. Luckily I just left, so it doesn't effect me too badly, but do you know what areas are shut?

It use to be cold when it was clear out, now its warm and clear.
Anyway, this is my 40 something winter in CO and it is the worst
ever. You see I like cold and snow.
Half the park is closed, that which is in the sun more than other areas.

Why no, I didn't have a proper one unfortunitely.
The sunday night the Nugget was closed, and we were going to have it on the monday. On monday I was dragging my sorry ass back from Stairway to Heaven for many an hour and didn't get back to Ouray till 9:30 ish. At which point I promptly made a whole cake, ate 2/3s of it, and fell asleep for 13 hours.

We went to the Nugget to meet you and it was closed. So we went to the Mexican Place and had Margs for Master Burns...no Haggis :-(

Todays high to be 60 degrees. Yesterday was 58 degrees. This is my
46th winter and I have never seen this kind of warmth for this long, the real problem is i love winter.

Yeah, there was a miscommunication with the owners of the nugget.
They thought I meant monday, but I meant sunday.
I felt REALLY stupid (even more then usual) since I told a fair amount of people about it. I was psyched. I even rehearsed "ode to the haggis".
