Shhhhh… Listen…Do you hear that? It’s the eerie silence that can only come after a weekend filled with inner tubes, friends, and too few hours of sleep. The tube float has come and gone… yes, it is over. Tubes have been deflated, ice chests emptied, and aloe vera has been applied generously to sunburned skin. The 37th Annual Parker Tube Float was bigger …

Wednesday I made an appearance on Voices of La Paz, on AWC Channel, to talk about the Tube Float, June 7th, 2014. For all things Tube Float, including information on how to register, where to go, what to do, and how to do it, watch the segment below, with interviewer Kathy Ocampo.

The 37th Annual Parker Tube Float is less than a month away which means if you’re coming it’s just about GO TIME! An important part of any successful event is to learn the Do’s & Dont’s and who better than our old friend Nigel Pomeroy to educate us all on some important Tube Float etiquette.

This summer we could see a record number of visitors to our area. The Colorado River continues to offer a reprieve from not only the triple digit temperatures, but also the traffic-jammed roadways and pollution-filled skies of the big city.

A week ago my car broke down. I was driving into town and the tire went flat which then caused irreparable damage to the rim. The rim was a special rim for that year, make, and model (of course! Why wouldn’t it be?), so replacing it will take a few weeks. This is just another example in a long line …

This past weekend showed exactly why people love the Parker area. It was Memorial Day weekend, the first of three summer holidays. (Many would argue that we have four holidays if you count the Parker Tube Float that brings thousands to the river each summer. I would have to agree with that.) Sunny skies, cool water, boats, wave runners, coolers, bikinis, …

Sunday night I came to a surprising realization: there aren’t a whole lot of fairy tales that begin with, “Once upon a time there was a cow.” I thought back to my childhood and remembered lots of stories about princesses, mermaids, frogs, more princesses and even pigs, but never did I hear of a story regarding a cow. So I …

This morning while putting on my jeans I realized I was missing two belt loops. I checked another pair of jeans and they also were missing a belt loop. Noticing a pattern I quickly opened up my bottom drawer and pulled out a pair of khaki shorts…a single belt loop was missing! How did this happen? Where did they go? …
