Mass Deportations

 

Illegal Immigrant Wars

Texas shipped busloads to sanctuary city Denver. Denver used proxies to dump them in adjacent Aurora; most assuredly not a sanctuary city.

Mayor Coffman is a politician I admire and voted for when he was a Congressman. Term limited, he can be an asset to the Trump administration. There may be some bad blood because of the immigrant problem becoming a political issue by Trump.

 The mayor pro-temp is of the same mind as Coffman and the City Council has changed from leans (P)regressive to leans conservative. The new police chief seems to be a no nonsense type.

Wolves and more wolves

I find Kirk to be clear and concise with explanations lay persons can understand.

Drought

Growing in an agriculture environment, the weather and precipitation are always in the forefront of my mind. Last winter we had above average moisture. This year is a drought in northeast Colorado. This is bad news for dry land farmers and not good for wildlife.

 At a personal level it has been a boon for me doing my paper hanging work. No icy steps and sidewalks to contend with.

 The southern part of Colorado is having a good snow year. The mountains are seeing a lot of snow so the runoff that supplies our drinking water should be safe.


 The new Chimney Hollow reservoir should be completed enough to capture this spring’s runoff which is good news for us locally bet not for those downstream of the South Platte River in Nebraska.

 Remember, in Colorado, whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting. As one rural rancher stated, “It wasn’t until I was elected as a state senator that I learned, goddmandenverwaterboard, wasn’t one word”.

As always, YMMV

Lazy Sunday


Lazy Sunday. The damn wind is still blowing and is forecasted to continue into the week. I might as well live in Wamsutter, WY. There are prairie fires burning in several states and most of the areas to the East of the Rockies are red flag zones. Falsebook has several posts seeking help for rural families that have lost everything.

The only information on this photo is Grant. Grant, NE and Grant, KS are not many miles apart. The Scottsbluff, NE airport terminal lost part of the roof.


I’m still pissed about my truck getting backed into. I don’t think I can find a more out of the way place to park.

Coffee. I despise weak coffee. Someone asked if the spoon would stand by itself. My reply was, no, but if left in to long it might dissolve. I do drink it with a spoon of local raw honey.

Given the winter storm damage in other states, guess we should shut up. All we are facing is severe and prolonged drought.

As always, YMMV.
