Raton Pass...... Scary! **shiver**
Raton is nothing compared to Glorieta in a blizzard. I speak from experience on that one.
Ahh, Glorieta.
***potentially gross story below***
I had an accident when I was 12 involving a big stick, my sister and a jacket on said big stick, while spending the day in Glorieta marking county lines with my Dad. I tried to play it off to my mom when I got home saying, ok, its ok. REALLY it wasn't. The big stick I tripped over, after my sister brought it down too quickly, caused me to fall onto the much smaller stick that went into my arm. I tried to get out (but nearly passed out) So, by the time we got home 6 hours later, and by the time my mom was convinced that I had once again broken my arm (remember I'm not the most graceful person) and rushed me to the hospital, lovely gangrene had started to set in. (as per the orthopedic surgeon to whom I personally brought tons of business) Oh, and since it was past midnight by then, it was officially FATHER'S DAY. LOL
All of this gave reason for my mom to repeat another of her favorite sayings, "Now you see why I divorced that man" In all fairness, I didn't tell my Dad there was a stick in my arm, so we stayed up there finishing what we were doing. Now I have a cool scar on my inside wrist that looks like a lightning bolt! SHAZAM!
LOL,
