Pity Kimball, NE population 2,200.
The article mentions as many as 3,200 workers to be housed in Kimball. A pleasant, old oil/agriculture town with many vacant storefront buildings, it has long had a dark side of drug problems. The residents have kept the place from total disrepair. The streets are in decent shape, the park is neat and well kept, there is a small hospital, and the streets are plowed in the winter.

Wrecker operations, and especially off road recoveries, interest me. There are several YouTube channels I watch. This recovery is impressive.

De-instituion
The other, Francis Hadden Morgan, focused on the mentally ill and the way the state dealt with them. Her obituary is here.
Some personal background to explain my interest.
My suggestion? Bring back the institutions and focus on making them work.

Buying vs Leasing
People ask me about this. The pro vs con, the pitfalls, etc. In general, don’t lease a vehicle for fewer miles than you anticipate driving. There are other factors to consider. The one thing people seldom overlook, and pointing this out to customers put many dollars in my pocket, is liability.
With any vehicle you purchase, cash or finance, you have full liability. You are an accident, your insurance company is obligated to ‘defend’ you and pay to the policy limits. They are not obligated to defend you they way you want to be defended. (Read the second paragraph of your Allstate policy). You have $100,000 coverage and your insurance company settles for $150,000. Guess who is on the hook for the $50,000?

In 1986 I started selling Suzuki Samurais as a stop gap until I could find another construction management job. To my surprise, I started making big dollars and was home in my own bed every night. I started reading every book on the subject of buying cars, from the consumer’s point of view. Dirty pool? Tough shit. Today, the amount of information available on the internet is over whelming.
Pro tip. Unless you are paying in dead Presidents, the dealer has two customers; you and whoever is financing the purchase. On your own, visit your bank or credit union first, to find out what kind of loan you will qualify for.
In my personal life, I deal with credit unions. The only bank I have any dealings with is Chase for the Amazon credit card.
Democrats Nefarious Schemes
The “Colorado Way” is being touted as a way to win back the country for the Democrats. Long, boring article.
What not mentioned is the “Colorado Way” isn’t what the natives want; rather, in migration. In 1998, the population was about four million. Politically, the state was “Red” with shades of purple. In 2024 the population was about six million, and politically “Blue”.
Since 2015 migration into Colorado has declined over 50%, with the biggest impact along the Front Range, notably metro Denver.
Nationally, the “Colorado Way” depends on large in migration, i.e. Biden open borders, IMO.
Denver is rapidly becoming a basket case under successive Democrat mayors and city council.
The Colorado GOP hasn’t helped; they can fuck up a cup of coffee. Infighting, the country club set vs rural, etc.
I’ve supported Weld County, WY. Not that Wyoming wants us. Wyoming, with a population of fewer than 600,000 absorbing Weld County’s population of 300,000, makes about as much sense, to them, as annexing Haiti.

(P)regressive Values –Corrections
Currently, the game plan is to stick it to the county sheriffs. They leave recently convicted prisoners in the county jails. While in Weld County the daily cost to feed and house an inmate is about $118, the state reimburses the county $71. The county jails only house the inmates. They have no rehabilitation or mental health programs for the inmates stuck in limbo.
Epstein Fatigue
This involves wealthy people. While they may have been stupid with a dash of assumed privilege, to get themselves in a vulnerable position, they have, by now, lawyered up. The DOJ may look at the resources needed to go after the assholes and have concluded the low hanging fruit, like mortgage fraud, may be a better investment.
Other considerations may be in play. The island was not in the USA, but in a USA Territory. Not being a lawyer, I don’t know how that might play in prosecutions. The minors involved, while not of legal age of consent, may have been willing participants.
Likely there is a lot of resistance within the entrenched DOJ employees to any and all Trump efforts that needs to be dealt with first.
Lastly, the evidence may have lead to much deeper crimes, sedition, foreign involvement, etc. that will require a lot of time to sort out.
Or, just another government cover up.
Yes, a bit grumpy today. Stumbled and went down face first a few days ago. No visible damage but a lot of aches and pains. The body is well past usable service life and healing is slow.

I doubt any of the environazi wolf fans had the courage to attend this meeting. Just state employees who had no choice.

Consider the case of profiting off non-profits.
Perhaps some of these non-profits actually do some good. Certainly, some employees do very well for themselves. All are reliable Democrat voters.

Montgomery, AL is their home. A few years ago, as a pre-production test driver, I spent some time there. Hyundia builds cars there and Kia at West Point, GA not far away. Whenever I mentioned this organization to locals, the usual response was an eyeroll.

De-escalation Tactics
A recent encounter with a neighbor while delivering a mortgage company letter got ugly. Seems the neighbor is a retired policeman and has taken upon himself to be a neighborhood watchman.
He confronted me, demanding to know my business, and I politely told him to fuck off. Upon reflection, I didn’t use good de-escalation tactics. Upon further reflection came the realization I don’t give a fuck. He was still in the street making threats as I drove off.
Yeah bitch, lay hands on an “at risk senior”. Felony in Colorado.

He makes his cheapskate father proud! What really makes his father prouder is his nearly a decade of sobriety.

Over the years I wonder how many “borrowed” tools I’ve replaced.

Wolves plus Dark Money
Lurking in the background of “change” in this country is a money machine, the Tides Foundation.
They played a part in the introduction of wolves in Colorado.

This is just one of many dark money groups with enormous financial resources. DOGE has exposed the ways they get taxpayer money. To re purpose a Nikita Khrushchev rope saying, we are paying these people to make the rope they will hang us with.
Editorial Opinion
These types of organizations have one overriding purpose, control. Control of our lives, control of our country, and they have no moral values. Having a free society, I suppose, means we must tolerate these cancerous cells. When does free speech become sedition?

My sister has a fenced yard, roommates/renters who love Banner, and other animals. He isn’t suffering. I’m so accustomed to having him that I do routine things, and then realize he isn’t here. Add, the interrogation by his fan club in this building, and guilt creeps in.
