Blue State Warfare
Colorado’s Attorney General has filed his 41st lawsuit
against the Trump Administration. Priorities? Crime in Colorado? Maybe not so
much.
He plans to replace Emperor Polis as Governor.
Keep on Trucking
The ongoing brouhaha about big rig drivers who don’t understand
English is, IMO, about safety. When a driver who has been in the country four
ten years and has been driving a truck for eight years cries about losing his
livelihood because he doesn’t understand English, my response is, “Fuck you,
you arrogant asshole”.
Recently in Cheyenne two drivers were busted. Both illegals. In one case, the truck
company’s permit had been revoked. No mention of the second driver’s employer.
That said, an overweight dump truck will likely prompt law enforcement
attention to every vehicle on the road owned by that company.

A part of the long article.
“It might be 10 years ago now, maybe even
longer, but I-70 coming into Denver out of the mountains, and there was a
traffic backup, and signs warned of that ahead of time, saying, ‘traffic back
up ahead,’” he said. “A driver who did not speak English drove into that and
killed five, eight people, because he came in at 60, 70 mph out of the
mountains, lost his brakes because he couldn't read that there were runaway
truck ramps.”
Locals’ call that stretch Floyd Hill. Eastbound, at the
top, is a huge sign warning of steep grade with instructions to truckers to use
lower gears. A second sign is about one mile further. A prominent sign for a
runaway truck ramp at the bottom in addition to message signs along the way.
Fatal Flaw?
Our local electricity provider, Xcel, has installed these
new “smart meters”. We now get billed at a higher rate for using electricity in
what Xcel has decided are peak times. They can remotely turn the meter off.
Paranoid me wonders how many of our enemies have hacked the Xcel system and, when
the time is right for them, turn off big swaths of the electricity grid?
Xcel is very woke and brave new world green. They take it
upon themselves to educate/indoctrinate
their customers.
The Knees Know
This past Tuesday had a
viscosupplemention treatment where hyaluronic acid is injected in the knee
joint. It is a gel that cushions the joint that has lost cartilage. While not a
‘miracle’, it gives me some relief for three to six months.
No more Paper Hanging
11/1/2025 will be my last day delivering mortgage dun
letters. Winter will soon be upon us and “fall back” is Sunday. My night vision
is not what it once was and trying to read house numbers on residential streets
while the GPS announces, “You have arrived” is getting harder. More to the
point, icy sidewalks and stairs will soon be a hazard. At my age, one bad fall
might mean Assisted Living. This past summer I tripped and found I no longer
can do a PLF.
Now I’m not meeting the public for business, should I
grow a beard?
That was forty six years ago when I had a full head of
hair.
Combat Engineers 12B/12C
Good to see things haven’t changed from sixty years ago.
A fellow Ditch Digger cousin vet agrees. As my Jarhead friend Mike likes to
say, “Go spit shine your shovel”.
Climate Change
Always with the alarms. Always with “studies show”.
Tiresome.

The danger in all this is the “Chicken Little” effect,
IMO.
Did They Get Jump Wings?

As always, YMMV

Xcel could have said, "Congratulations, you used less than similar homes!"
Don in Oregon
Xcel could focus on running efficiently. $85 a month bill for a one bedroom apartment in a six year old building with one occupant is too high. Twenty blocks over, a different utility, and my bill was half.
Yeah, he keeps suing Trump and costing Colorado money. And he's won how many??? Re Xcel, you've already been hacked. If you or your neighbors get robbed while on vacation, it's because the crooks 'read' the meter and knew nobody was home.
Robbed? Haven't thought of that.
I take it Geronimo didn't volunteer for the jump program?
That was during the draft era. Doubt he was given a choice. "Greetings".
