Did Hell Freeze Over?

I have something to applaud Emperor Polis and (P)regressive Democrats in Colorado.

More surprises. The (P)regressives failed to pass:

Safe Injections Sites aka Drug Dens

Local Rent Control

“Assault” Weapons Ban

State Government Control over zoning and land use state wide

 All went down with bipartisan support. The defecting Democrats are likely looking towards the next election and know many of their constituents are outraged by these proposals.

Never Was (COVID)

People worldwide are to resistant so come up with a face saving “scientific” retreat.

More Face Saving? (COVID)

Almost as Strong?

Researchers still can’t duplicate Roman concrete.

Critical Component

“The electrification of aviation is viewed as a crucial component in the creation of a fossil fuel-free future”.

More “climate change” wet dreams (but the science is “settled”)

WTF is that

Karma?

We’re #2

Tornadoes. Weld County is the #2 county in the USA for tornadoes.  Past two days two have been reported along Interstate 76. We are fortunate most are F-2 and seldom more than one quarter mile wide. Not like some areas with F-4+ a mile wide and travel miles.

 Sisty’s insurance adjusting goes from Wyoming truck wrecks in the Winter to hail damage claims in the Spring and Summer. She now delegates climbing ladders to roofs to others.

 WTF?

 

Who decided to put these two stores adjacent in a town of 1,500? My apology for the picture quality. It was difficult to get a good angle.

 Lonely Duty

One of many Minuteman III silos in an arc East of Cheyenne. Maintenance being done on what OldAFSarge calls “Armageddon on Demand”.

 Spotted on my rounds.

 

The pictures are the extent of my knowledge about this vehicle.

As always, YMMV.

 

 

Peace by Deterrence

Minuteman silo, Weld County, CO.  Maintenance?

Controlled out of Cheyenne, there are silos scattered in Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado. Not all are ready to shoot – treaty stuff.

Free advice. Don’t go poking around them. The Air Force takes security seriously and those aren’t empty weapons you see. Add Blackhawk helicopters just minutes away and you could have a bad day.

Given the harsh winters in the area, that is not easy duty. Summers can be a bit on the warm side too. Check out Prairie Adventure for some great videos of the area’s weather.

Business today took me to NE Colorado (Phillips County) and then back to the Front Range (Larimer County), some 316 miles in very decent weather with little heavy wind.
