The Dog's Fault

Banner News

Some readers like Banner stories. Last week, for the first time in the 4+ years he has lived with me, he didn’t attack his supper. The next day he was at the vet. Complete blood workup showed him slightly dehydrated but nothing else. He has unlimited access to water. Two days later he was his usual self. Despite my vigilance I suspect he ate something bad. Blasted dog will eat just about anything. Sisty suggests he just needed a good poop.

The vet noticed he has gained five pounds in six months. He suggested a change in dog food which has been taken.

The biggest reason for the weight gain is he has stopped taking me for walks.

Wind farms are wonderful?

Advertisement that appeard at the top of the Cowboy Daily. Somehow I don’t think that is ‘full disclosure’.

Wind Farm

Who knew coal is ‘green’?

I like learning new things and this is new to me.

Skin Care

The biggest question is how Kemmer/Diamondville will handle the housing and associated water and poop infrastructure to accommodate 12,000+ new residents?

Entrepreneur spirit

Are some politicians, all big government advocates, and many government employees operating with a perverted entrepreneur motivation? Empire building?

Model Citizen. Four Dui’s? 

Bad Girl

Dumb shits will be dumb shits. 

The gun grabbers are delighted by the actions of this dumb shit leaving a handgun in a state capital restroom. Naturally, the long term (P)regressive pimple on the Fourth Estate’s ass is all over the story.

 Your GPS is wrong

Map reading is a lost skill and people putting blind faith in their electronic devices are, IMO, deluded. Wyoming’s take on the issue? 

Blind Trust

In my paper hanging job, finding addresses is crucial. I have three separate GPS devices with me. Before I ever go out I use my computer to look at every address. Often, I will view a picture of the address. Getting wrong directions from one or more device happens so often I no longer even bother to cuss.

One example. I needed to find an address in Morgan Heights (Fort Morgan). I knew I was looking for a two story stucco three car attached garage house. Two GPS directions took me to the other end of the street. One wanted to take me to Castle Rock, CO.

My Congresswoman 

Liberal Loser

Hope she is a one term representative. I put the time and effort into a letter on an issue that mattered to me. Sent one copy to her local office and one copy to her D.C. office. No response/reply. Staffers probably file 13d it.

My sister approves of her. My sister has spent thirty years of her life as a volunteer in a community health organization. Caraveo is a strong supporter. Sorry Sisty, I’m not a one issue voter.

Good and kind people

This morning I was reminded there are good and kind people in the world. My neighbor across the hall is 87 and in declining health. A resident of our building is taking her to see her doctor. This person, a LDS widow, is constantly helping others. She takes care of their dogs when they are in the hospital. She takes others grocery shopping. She does all of these acts of kindness quietly and without any fanfare. Some of her acts are motivated by her religious beliefs but I think mainly she does it because she is simply a good and caring person.

IMO, in our day to day lives we overlook how many good people are in our world.

PETA

They recently held a rally at the Wyoming capitol building. Other than the four protesters, nobody showed up. I’m not bothering to link the article.

Firearms control

The tyrants never stop with a death by thousand cuts against legal and lawful firearms owners (I don’t use “gun” unless talking about smooth bores).

Fiddling while Rome burns

What this effort should be labeled is avoiding serious issues while appearing to “DO SOMETHING” with a seasoning of hysteria.

As always YMMV

This post is centered around Colorado and Colorado politics.

XCEl Energy

Our area is among those unfortunate to be under the thumb of this out of control woke “Green” utility. Other areas have choices.

To be very clear, the local boots on the ground are great. They respond quickly to all outages, they are courtesy sharers of the roads, and their equipment and facilities are clean and well kept.

Well, Duh!

replacing motor fuel taxes, which are generating less each year, in part due to fuel efficiency and the rise of electric cars.

But, not to worry. A mileage tracker on your vehicle won’t ever be used by government agencies to infringe on your rights and/or dictate your activity, would it?

Conspiracy

If you believe in conspiracies, you have a screw loose. It is “settled science”.

Five Years

During a recent conversation with a manager, she mentioned I’ve been an agent for her financial services company for five years this month.

They are keeping me busy and I turn down more assignments than I accept. I’m obligated to accept all within a thirty mile radius of my base. Beyond that it is at my discretion and compensation is negotiable.

The work is interesting. How much longer will I do it? My knees may have a vote; climbing stairs is a challenge.

Keensburg, CO + Ev’s

A family owned convenience store/gas station here is a favorite stop. Over the years I’ve watched them grow and build a new building. Friendly, they have a small dog park, often give me coffee on the house, and Banner treats.

Their charging station gets a fair amount of use. Those EV’s come in from Nebraska on I-75 and need a boost just to make it into Denver. An employee told me just half a charge can take four hours.

I can think of better use of my time than sitting waiting for a battery charge.

Speaking of Conspiracy

Larry Fink, according to some sources, manages Pedo Joe. This strange article pops up.

Maybe smarter minds than mine can make sense of this.

Not that this will go anywhere. Three Republicans, representing rural areas where these time bombs are located, are making a statement, nothing more.

As always, YMMV.
