He is finished here in Colorado. He’s term limited, and he will be out by the end of the year. Good riddance!!

Slopper - Wikipedia

They always list Rocky Mountain oysters for Colorado on these kinds of lists. I’ve never had them and most people I know haven’t either. Yes, a few bars sell them, but how about something interesting like a Pueblo slopper!

Welcome to Colorado!

That dislike number should be way higher!

Just ordered online from my local bookstore. Thanks

Longtime fan of Infinite Monkey Cage and longtime fan of you. Thanks for standing up for other humans!

That’s just too sad…

Out in the West we call them marmots!

The second best part of your YouTube videos!

Good list! Thanks, Karl. I can see that there are links to those items on the list. Can you post the article with the links?

I did see Jethro Tull in 1972, at the notoriously bad venue, the Denver Coliseum. They overcame the terrible acoustics there and put on a great show. No riots, though.

Yes, I was in high school and early college when that happened. In those days I only saw folk music there. (Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie twice)

I bought my gravel e-bike a little over 2 years ago. I’m 71, with artificial joints in both knees and hips. I also now need a shoulder replacement. I use my e-bike for almost everything including shopping, meetings and mostly fun! 4500 miles and counting.

The Rocky Mountaineer also runs from Moab to Denver. I haven’t ridden on it, but we enjoy seeing them and Amtrak along the Colorado river while we float it.

This is a great piece. Thanks

I’ve really enjoyed your TdF coverage!

Absolutely correct. My dad worked in a POW camp in Trinidad, CO because he spoke German. He remained lifelong friends with one of the prisoners, who came and visited our family when I was a child. In fact I heard that POWs there were treated better than local residents of color (i.e. Latinos)

- One evening, the four eldest children drove to a neighboring Jewish resort and left a burning cross on the lawn. Years later, Bill would recall “weeping tears of frustration” at missing out on this “great lark.” -

This part right here tells an awful lot!
Great piece of writing!

I’ve been enjoying your posts from this part of Colorado!

They are year round companions here in Colorado. Last year I got watch a small brood being raised on my daily walk. They were adorable!

Very happy that Neguse is my rep!

Just donated to IAAF. You are doing great work.

They won’t be able to make us forget Ira Hayes. Johnny Cash wrote a great song about him.

I was there and you gave a great presentation!

Blue eyes and a British accent!

Did I ever tell you about the time a fish jumped right into my mouth?

Thanks! Just ordered the Colorado print!

A young moose wandering in my driveway.

Here’s a baby moose a little later on in its development, also in Steamboat.

A mama moose and calf in my backyard.

They are regulars around our town in NW Colorado. They are enormous!!
