Favorite Repo Story
As requested by a reader. A few years ago a dealer I once
worked for called me wanting some help in hooking a car. The buyer lived in a
high end gated community and parked in a secured garage in downtown Denver. The
dealer had a set of keys and an offer of $1,000 if I could get the car.
My helper, Judy, a tough as nails older biker chic, and I
drove out to the gated community. First stop, the police station. My 1996 green
Escort wagon would attract police attention in that neighborhood.
Next step was to find the entrance without a security
guard. The plan was to wait for a vehicle to exit and zip in before the gate
closed.
We barely settled in our discrete parking spot when the
very vehicle we needed to hook drove out! We followed to an upscale shopping center
where the customers parked in a public garage and disappeared into a mall
entrance.
Shortly, I was driving away in the collateral while Judy
waited a few minutes to see if the customers came right back. She then followed
me to the dealership. The repo went into the bull pen, the keys into the night drop
and we went off to a nice dinner.
Two days later when I picked up my check, the dealer
wanted details. “Trade secrets, was my reply”.
The customers, both attorneys, made many threats and
demands. The dealer took great pleasure in telling them to fuck themselves.
Environazis Rule!
Their takeover of various commissions, aided by Emperor
Polis, includes the Public Utilities Commission. Now, no more natural gas
heating or power generation allowed. 100% renewable energy only will be
allowed.

How all of this will work in conjunction to the rush to
build Artificial Intelligence facilities is, it appears, “we will see”. Not
answered, yet, is how will the water for these AI operations be supplied
without draconian water rationing, for the soon to be unwashed, masses?
You have questions? Here are some pre-packaged answers.

A favorite read is Jon Caldera and the Independence Institute.
He has an annual, Californian of the Year (limited to Colorado residents).
A portion of one of the nominees’ bio sums up perfectly
the Boulder think.
With the charm of a tenured professor who’s never
had a private-sector job (or a utility bill), Toor assures us he’s “saving the
planet,” while ordinary people wonder if they can afford to boil water for
spaghetti without blowing their monthly budget.
Meanwhile, our Northern neighbor has more good news.

Can you say LPG exports?
Honest Elections
Not in Colorado, per our whack job Secretary of State.

PDJT has less than kind words about Emperor Polis.

Tina Peters used her position as a County Clerk and
Recorder to try and uncover voter fraud. Did she do it the correct way? She must
not, because the entrenched elite made an example of her.

She is, IMO, a political prisoner.
The Colorado Sun
Readers may note many of my links go to the Colorado Sun.
While proclaiming itself to be non-partisan, and wrapping itself in a pristine
journalism blanket, it is, in fact, a progressive advocacy effort.
Why do I read it, diligently? To see what the assholes
are up to.
Wolves
Don’t feed them, is sound advice, as reports of wolves
coming into Front Range communities raises concerns. Who will heed the advice
among the animal lovers who voted for wolf introduction? Worrisome, to me, are reports of wolves
traveling east of Interstate 25.

Why not? The High Prairies were once part of their range.
Racism
My late father served in the China-India-Burma Theater in
WWII. Originally trained in chemical
warfare, in India he did many different jobs and become fluent in the dialect
of the Assam region. He always maintained, “The only thing an Asian understands
is a boot on his neck”. Was he a racist? By liberal definition, he was. In his
daily life, interacting with all kinds of people, he wasn’t.
Is there a point to this WSF? Well yes there is.
Far too many immigrants come to this country with no
regard to our ways, our customs, our social structures, and our laws. They
don’t want to assimilate. They see themselves as superior and us as weak and
inferior. They are here for what they can get, not what they can contribute.
An example; is an interview of a Sikh who lost his CDL and
livelihood at a Weight Station crackdown.
Via an interpreter, he explained he has been here ten years and a long
haul trucker for eight years. Well, fuck me running! Ten years, and you never
bothered to learn even rudimentary English? That folks is blatant racism, his!
Point: It is a two way street.
As always, YMMV

So why not consider wood heat and cooking as renewable energy. Cut the dead wood out of the forest and burn it in an efficient stove. Reduce the wild fires and more trees growing all the time capturing CO2 while they are at it!
I usually delete anonymous comments but will make an exception. In my youth we heated with wood. The pollution from burning wood is greater than most sources and is feasible only in rural areas with low population density. I can attest the use of wood is labor intensive and fires need to be tended frequently.
I will say that sitting around a wood burning stove or fireplace, looking into the flames and embers, is extremely relaxing.
