Today was the first of a five day trip to Denver with my friend Bianca.\u00a0 Tropical Storm Lee was moving towards the Louisiana coast today, bringing substantial but intermittent rain since yesterday.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t really worried about flight delays but I did think street flooding could keep us from the airport.\u00a0 The ride to the airport turned out to be dry and uneventful.\u00a0 The flight itself was fine, if a bit bumpy at the start.\u00a0 After arriving in Denver, we caught a shuttle to Enterprise rent a car where we had a reservation\u2026 but there weren\u2019t any cars.\u00a0 Customers were at the mercy of returns.\u00a0 When someone drove a car back\u2026 they rushed to clean it and offer it to the next one in line.\u00a0 After waiting about an hour with one of the service reps who kept us company, we got a little Kia Rio, not what we were hoping for having reserved a mid-sized car, but after an hour, we were content with four wheels.<\/p>\n
Bianca was anxious to attend a small charity event at the Mercury Caf\u00e9 restaurant.\u00a0 They held a live and silent auction for a battered women\u2019s shelter and dinner was available.\u00a0 Having partaken in some mediocre \u201corganic\u201d food, we drove down to our hotel and retired for the evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
