While driving the interstate on our Colorado trip we saw a few trucks driven by women.  Including a UPS set of triples.  It raised the question: “How many women are driving trucks for a living in Iran?” or anywhere else for that matter.  We may not have reached perfect equality of opportunity in the USA yet, but compared to other nations we are doing very well.

I have lots of other observations and photos from the trip to share stay tuned.

According to Xocai Healthy Chocolate it is.  “A chocolate bar per day can keep the doctor away.”  They have a web site to prove it. poweredbyxocolate.com.  Which by the way also offers you an opportunity to buy some chocolate.  We found this opportunity at dinner last night at a very nice restaurant in Grand Junction, Colorado named Bin 707.   On the recommendation of Elise M, our server we tried a Colorado Pinot Noir from Terror Creek winery.  The wine was quite good and the ambiance and food were very good.

This is why we travel so you can learn about good restuarants in Western Colorado, the Colorado wine industry and the health benefits of chocolate.

It is a terrible dilemma not made any better by the pain that makes thinking about it nearly impossible.
