Union Pacific Big Boy
It is so refreshing to be part of gatherings where there is zero political drama; just people enjoying a rare spectacle. So refreshing! No protesters
, no banners, no ugly confrontations.
As this magnificent relic tours the country in the West and Midwest, thousands of people line the tracks in big cities, small towns, and rural railroad crossings. I’m there with them.
On 10/21/2024 business took me near Byers, CO (population 1,600+), a flyspeck on the Colorado High Plains. A dear friend accompanied me and we watched the Big Boy pass by. While I’ve seen it many times, this was his first. Probably 200 vehicles were parked along the roads paralleling the tracks. He remarked that he will never forget the experience.
Go Blue, Get Killed
Years of blue control and “common sense” gun laws has really worked in Colorado – NOT.What do you call doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result?
Colorado 8th Congressional District
Earlier this year I “wrote my Congressional Representative. I sent my letter ot both her Washington D.C. office and her local office located in my hometown. Received zero response/acknowledgement! Perhaps this explains it.Every day my mailbox has campaign flyers sent by dark money PACs. The content is beyond ugly. The volume is 2:1 in favor of the Democrat. Both candidates are decent people. Not according to the dark money assholes on both sides.
Interesting case before the
Supreme Court
All it will do is change what level of government has dominion. Perhaps a State, rather than the Feds, will be more responsive to their residents.
