Welcome to the Pierces. I jotted this blog down with the only writing utensil I could find –a quill.   Naturally they don’t have internet way out here in the boonies, in fact the only service they need from “city folks” (as they say here) is some gas-o-leen for the tractor.   Once the sun […]

This is the story of the Great Hard Drive Crash.  The year was 2011.   Alma, CO.  Elevation: about 11k feet.  I discover my hard drive not working. A quick Google search confirms my (somewhat far fetched) theory that sometime hard drives have a hard time working at high elevations… I was hopeful.Glenwood, CO.  My […]
