A good friend is visiting from WI, so we spent a beautiful fall day in RMNP. Driving home on US 36, about 2 miles east of Estes Park, this group of elk was traversing a meadow along the highway. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Pumpkins will be decorating porches tomorrow as we enjoy Halloween. They come to us thanks to workers like these NY state farm workers who were harvesting these heavy pumpkins last Friday in the rain. #WeFeedYou

“They say…” WTH How can you be a “journalist” and not know the law you’re reporting on? Is it too hard to read the statutes?

Thanks Robin. I like your posts, and New Mexico has always been one of our favorite places.

As Clint Eastwood says to Eli Wallach (supposedly Tuco, a Mexican outlaw) in “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”, “… in this world, there’s two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.”

Blaming baby boomers for the problems of younger generations is popular in elite media, but it is not serious analysis. The problem is the rich and the generational stuff is a distraction deanbaker22.substack.com/p/my-generat...

My Generation: Blame the Rich, not the Boomers

Blaming a generational grouping is a coverup, not serious reporting

No Kings, Cleveland. The whole day was peaceful and a lot of fun! (Visiting my wife’s sister and her family in Huron, Ohio.)

Took the grandkids to RMNP and the “haunted” Stanley Hotel in Estes Park today on their day off from school. Photos of Sprague Lake and Long’s Peak in RMNP.

Complete game victories.

ronscowi1.bsky.social @ronscowi1.bsky.social · 16d

Snell & Yamamoto pitched 17 innings in the first 2 games. So much for analytics. Grew up in Milwaukee and went to a lot of Braves games - Aaron, Matthews, & Spahn. Braves only title in 1957, Lou Burdette pitched 3 complete victories v Yankees in WS.

"Maria" is rolling up raisins under the hot Madera sun. To earn $70, she has to roll 1,000 sheets! Each row has around 250 sheet. It's hard grueling work walking on the burning sand for hours rolling one sheet after another. #WeFeedYou

Love all your photos from your hikes. Hope you can get on the trail in Breckenridge. We live in CO and love it.

Nice photo. Drove on it yesterday to Brainard Lake before the roads were closed.

Since we moved to CO, my wife and I have hiked the Mitchell & Blue Lakes trail in the part of the Indian Peaks Wilderness in Brainard Lake Recreation Area to mark the beginning of our hiking season and the end. (The roads close Sunday) My brother stood in for my wife (fractured ankle) on this one.

How come none of the dems mentioned she got a. $25,000 campaign contribution from Trump not to prosecute Trump U or not finding evidence to prosecute Epstein when she was Florida AG. She has no “standing” to lecture anyone about the law.

Same. We get our health care from UC Health, and go to Anschutz for some providers. Our grandkids play rugby at Aurora Sports Park. And who doesn’t stop at Stanley Market Place. All the media had to do was actually visit the city and talk to actual residents.

Aurora is the perfect example. A totally fabricated narrative of gang “violence” and a national media that had no clue about the facts on the ground.
