Devil Weed
Cheyenne dopers will still need to drive an extra 25 miles to buy their weed after the residents of Nunn, CO, population +/- 600 voted against allowing “Dispensaries” in their town, just 31 miles from the Wyoming border.
Too bad, as Nunn will remain a speed trap with 40% of the town’s revenue coming from the four person police force writing tickets. (I have contributed)
Nielsen Ratings
Despite not owning a television for several years, they still send me surveys. Since they pay $2 to $5 for my opinion, I participate.
September 15, Platteville, CO made the news when a Union Pacific freight hit a Platteville Police car parked on the railroad tracks with a prisoner inside. The woman survived despite severe injuries.
The Weld County Prosecutor has now filed charges against some of the officers involved. Interestingly, the office is not dropping charges against the woman who was being detained for a road rage incident where she allegedly pointed a firearm at another motorist. A firearm was found in her vehicle.
Many comments and YouTube postings are out there. The first Sunday after the incident, our usual suspects were having Sunday breakfast at the VFW, when one of my sister’s “daughters”, a retired Weld County LEO, expressed disbelief.
My sister explained, “Ft Lupton police were involved”. The retired LEO simply nodded her head. Draw your own conclusions.
Colorado Mid-Terms
Votes are still being counted but the state has stayed firmly blue. Hard to beat cubic money and the GOP was outspent by a huge margin. At this point I’m beyond caring.
KIA Sorento
My sister now has a 2023 to replace her worn out 2004 or so Sorento. I’m happy for her as her work requires reliability and AWD when she is called out for truck wrecks in Wyoming. This Sorento is an upgrade model with all kinds of features.
Recently she had a four day East Coast trip and had me ride with her to DIA and keep the Kia until her return. After returning home, I parked it and didn’t drive it again until I went back to DIA to pick her up. The vehicle is fantastic but isn’t for me.
This Latter Day Luddite is retired from the car biz and has no reason to learn twenty+ functions. Isn’t today, per a Falsebook posting, Grumpy Old Balding Fat Man Day? I certainly qualify.
As always, YMMV.
