I drove past this between Salida and Cotopaxi on State Highway 50 in Colorado. I had to turn around and tell whoever that I stood with them totally assuming I was correct. I was and got the biggest hug of appreciation for doing so.

From my understanding, there are close to 3000 children being held around this country after being seized from their parents at the border.

Many will never see their Mom and Dad again because Republicans are totally evil.

You bastards!

Bishop Castle Is Politics

I kinda know the story behind this and I include a short video of the one man who built this amazing structure. This was the first time I've seen him.

I'm glad I got the whole place to myself for as long as I did. There's no music and what you hear is what I heard. A couple people toward the end and me taking a few breaths -sorry.  This isn't that good but I find this kind of stuff fascinating and the staircases must be conquered on the next visit. That and both towers all the way to the top.

This man has been at it for most of four decades and did so because of his distaste for government. Sometime there will be a post about where I come from and what this one man built there something on the same magnitude but done for religion. YIKES to both. I'm going to go get a picture of the grotto so you can get an idea. What people will do.

It's a toss up who's the best here in nuttery - a crazy ass German priest years ago in the middle of a cornfield or a fellow named Bishop in the Colorado Rockies who appears to be going strong to this day.

    Oh Lord, this is great. Love that guy. He's getting it right: "an offshore bankrupt corporation." I'm so glad you got to see him, hear from him.

    Like the video of the castle, too. The stained glass reflecting on the floor at the end is beautiful. Love those crazy gargoyles.

    I'd like to see it more lived in, with India cloth draped on comfy worn out couches and cool rugs on the floor. Maybe that's just the Bohemian hippie in me...

    Isn't that what you call those mythical animals in metal, or I suppose wood, too, along a roofs edge? You have a couple in your video of the castle. Yeah, gargoyles. Don't Bogart that joint, my friend.

    Okay, so it's not Exactly a gargoyle, but those metal dragons are very close...

    Yes they are and actually I wouldn't know a gargoyle if I saw one. Tell me - if this is right. In the movie "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" didn't the guy go up on the roof and sit with gargoyle's? The dragon ain't bad. Thanks Teresa!

    Yes, that's right, and they have a function. It's mouth is a a drain spout for roofs originally. I googled them. :) I first saw them in person on a rooftop of an old classic house in Atchison, Kansas. Dang it, now I may have to blog about that. :)
