Winter Settling Moon
Emissions testing is necessary before converting an out of state title so I was on my way to Ken-Caryl Aircare, a testing site with a low wait time. Denver has pretty bad air pollution, especially when there are inversions, a layer of warm air over a layer of cold. Denver metro counties have emission regulations and we’re in a western county of the metro area, Jefferson.
In what has become a regular occurrence the technician, a dread-locked African-American of about 40, told me he could do the VIN verification (also needed for title conversion), but, “I’ll charge you $20 and the Jefferson County Sheriff will do it for free.” He smiled, “Well, I won’t charge you. The company will.” Very friendly folks so far.
A nod to what’s left behind finished up the errands at Fedex, mailing the disclosure statements for the Andover house and the memory stick with Mark Odegard’s brochure to our Realtor.
Back home. All this driving through the Front Range foothills or in their periphery, the beginning of the Denver area from the West.
