Guns, Guns, Guns!

 Colorado Needs More Gun Laws

The usual suspects are leading the charge.

To further avoid major budget problem decisions,  the (P)regressives, “Look! We are doing something important”, they are pearl clutching about ghost guns to distract voters from their abysmal problem solving solutions.

Lipstick on a Pig

Consider the source, Colorado Public Radio, this article deftly avoids one large reason Colorado is losing population.

People are leaving to escape socialism and Californication. These are the people who drive the economic engine in every state, small business owners. Several relatives relocated to Texas. Small business owners (construction, independent truckers, restaurateur) who took many of their extended families with them.

 Some estimates place the number of illegal aliens in Colorado at around 200,000. That number, IMO, is low. How many now will be self deporting?

Minnesota Lite

Colorado lags behind in graft and corruption, at least on the surface.

Old Fashion Local Brawl

For once, no woke issues, just developers vs NIMBY with a side of, “Not my Tax Dollars”.

West of Greeley alongside US 34, developers want to develop a sports, entertainment, and shopping complex. They want money from taxpayers for part of the costs (bonds, guarantees, whatever) and residents raised hell. Now the issue will go to a special election. Tricky bastards, they rigged the ballot headings so that a NO vote approves the plan and a YES vote turns it down.

The only thing I understand is the already inadequate US 34 will become even more of a parking lot.

Singing in the yah-but choir.

Deporting illegal immigrants is fine by me. Doing it in ways that lay the ground work for future abuses makes me queasy. Rather than me trying to pontificate, I found a good analysis to share.

 More likely many social media postings nationwide are of this nature.

 It may be wise for the Trump team to reconsider Dreamers and long term illegal resident who have not committed crimes and are productive residents.

Making Chicken Salad out of Chicken Shit

Turning oil field wastes into a profitable commodity makes too much sense. Would it have happened under a Harris Administration?

Wamsutter is one of the bleakest places in existence, IMO. If I end up in hell, the Devil will make me work in an outbound call center located in Wamsutter. Housing will be a 50 year old single wide mobile home and it will be winter year around.

Spin, spin, spin

(P)regressive “non partisan” Colorado Sun does a hit job article gearing up for the mid-term  election in Colorado Congressional 8.

 Last election over $20 million was spent. The incumbent has about $2 M on hand. Five Democrats have filed for the seat.

Car Story

Herding cats.

Driving a motor home with a slide out extended shouldn’t happen. My heard of cats, aka sales crew said, “Hold my beer”.

 We used a 26’ motor home with the rear kitchen and bath removed for a mobile office. At the end of a sale, the crew that hadn’t brought their own vehicles would ride along to the next week’s location while I would drive to Longmont with all the deal jackets, drop them at the office, then go to my home in Brighton.

 0430 my cell phone went off. The call was from the Eagle County Sheriffs Department. Local dispatch had received several calls about a motor home eastbound on I-70 with the slide out extended. An officer found the motor home in the Eagle rest area. None of the occupants would confess to being the driver. The officer took the keys, left the drunks there to sober up, and took the keys to the sheriff’s office.

 With a solid two hours sleep, I took off for the 2 ½ hour drive to Eagle.

 After retrieving the keys and driving five minutes to the rest stop, the sales manager and I conversed.

 Good things about the situation. Little Hitler, aka the dealer, didn’t learn about it until long after we quit off sites sales. Our diligent work in maintain good relations with all law enforcement paid off. The motor home wasn’t impounded and the bunch of drunks weren’t arrested.

As always, YMMV
