I attended the 13th annual Colorado Dragon Boat Festival in Denver's Sloan's Lake Park last Sunday, and the weather was actually rather cool and overcast. This was in stark contrast to previous years, when the sun would beat down relentlessly and temperatures would approach 130 degrees or so. Since Sloan's Lake has virtually no trees, desperate spectators would actually GO IN THE WATER. Big mistake! You could see the poor souls dissolve into the toxic stew right before your eyes. This year was much more mellow - virtually no one melted. And less melting meant more sales at the concession stands. A win-win situation for all. See you next year!
