I was pleased to find a clean air exhibit at the Dante's View overlook in Death Valley NP. Unfortunately, the view at the time as hazy and didn't live up to the view shown on the exhibit. However, relieved to find that some "science" has survived the current NPS purge. #cleanair #deathvalley #nps

As per NWS. Yesterday's max temp in Fort Collins hit 91F, which set a new monthly record for max temp in March. In fact, this temp would have also been a new record for April. Prior to this week, the max temp for March in FOCO was 81F. #cowx

It is the last day of winter, but need to break out the shorts with backyard temps touching 80F. Also, slept with the bedroom windows open last night. #cowx
