Just Chilling on the Patio

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Thank you to all my fellow Veterans for your service, and please take a moment to think of the dedicated, Patriotic men and women that have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our usually taken for granted freedom.
As for us, we are spending the day in our beloved former home of Manitou Springs, sitting on the patio of our favorite dive bar, the Royal Tavern. I'm getting loaded on a couple pitchers of beer, while my wife (we are common law married, so I should really stop referring to her as my girlfriend) is, as designated driver, drinking virgin Bloody Mary's (extra spicy!)
The jukebox is going nonstop: lots of Santana, Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, and someone with good taste is playing a bunch of old school country. Also heard: Carole King, and even some Gladys Knight and the Pips! This is a most groovy afternoon!
Enjoy this classic Gladys Knight song that I just heard, a superior tune to "Midnight Train to Georgia," even though it apparently never gets played on the radio anymore:

@infatuatedbby - Sounds good! We hung out all day, and went to an all you can eat buffet. I'm so stuffed I can barely move!

@teamfreak16 Bend is the fasted growing city in the country, but is very expensive. Redmond and Prineville are not far, maybe cheaper.

@JamesHxstatic - Did not know that. It's her job, so it's ultimately up to her. I get paid the same no matter where we live.
