Whoops! Now that my kids are out of school I'm having trouble keeping my days straight. I'm pretty sure it's Wednesday, which means I need to put out a links post. Yikes!
Yep, I just consulted with my computer, and it is, in fact, Wednesday.
Thank you, Computer.
Since I'm woefully unprepared, I'm going straight to the links.

[Mostly] Wordless Wednesday - A Sun Shrine-y Day & Links
As promised, I actually got out of the house and took some pictures this week. One of our treks was to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. About 1400 feet above the zoo (about 8100 feet elevation) is a shrine dedicated to Will Rogers and bearing the ashes of two of the folks instrumental in developing Colorado Springs with things like the zoo, the Broadmoor, El Pomar Foundation, and the Fine Arts Center: Julie and Spencer Penrose. I'm not sure why the shrine was originally being built, but during the building Will Rogers died in a plane crash in Alaska, and Penrose decided to dedicate it to him, or so the story goes.
The shrine is made of granite, and is said to contain no nails or wood. It was completed in 1937.
Ah. The eccentricities of the rich, eh? In case you're curious, this is considered to be Romanesque Revival architecture.
Now for some links!
