I kinda love when a bookstore decides, “The books you need will find you.”
A label on a bookstore shelf that reads, “ “rectangular books” A label on a bookstore shelf that reads, “Weird”

I promise you, you'll never guess which "politics" they're referring to
Grandpa's Pawn and Gun with a sign that says Forced Out of Busines After 30 Years (Because of Colorado Politics) excerpt from an article: A Superior man has been convicted of securities fraud after convincing the owner of Grandpa’s Pawn & Gun in Longmont to invest $250,000 in a series of books described by one juror in the case as a “Western-themed version of ’50 Shades of Grey'” for outdoorsmen. Bret Gardner, 47, was convicted of securities fraud — untrue statement or omission by a Boulder County jury following a five-day trial last week. Gardner is due to be sentenced Oct. 4. The securities fraud charge is a Class 3 felony and could carry a prison sentence of four to 12 years. According to an arrest affidavit, Rod Brandenburg, the owner of Grandpa’s Pawn & Gun, came to the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office in 2013 to report Gardner. Brandenburg said Gardner approached him at this store in March 2012 about investing in a series of books based around a character called the “Scoundrel” written by an Oregon ghostwriter named Brad Haga. A packet promoting the book said the series centered around Thomas Edward “T.E.” Scoundrel, who “mixes it up with the greatest saints and the sinners of the day,” while he also “romances some of the most beautiful women of the age, including a Charleston ingenue, a silent film actress, Chicago’s only female meat packing tycoon and a Native American princess.”

Sheetz former CEO Stephen Sheetz, who built the company into a regional juggernaut, has died
Here is the original text with the spacing removed, without rewriting or changing wording: It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our former President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board, Stephen G. Sheetz, who died last night at the age of 77. At just 12 years old, Steve began working part-time for Sheetz Kwik Shopper, the company his brother Bob founded in 1952. After earning his degree from Penn State University in 1969, Steve became Supervisor and Director of Operations for all four Sheetz locations in operation. He later worked alongside Bob to grow the company to 100 store locations by 1983. Steve later served as President/CEO, Chairman of the Board, and chairman of the Family Committee. Steve’s impact on Sheetz is immense. He played an instrumental role in guiding members of the Sheetz family into the business, helping them apply their skills and talents to support the company’s continued success. During his time as President and CEO, Sheetz introduced Made-to-Order (MTO®), entered the fuel business, expanded the company into new states, and created the Sheetz mission of “Total Customer Focus.” He remained actively involved in the business he helped build for more than 60 years, providing counsel and support as Sheetz continued to grow. We will miss you, Steve. Thanks for everything!

The dollar has been slumping against other currencies, and in 2025 had its biggest decline since 2017 (the first year of Trump’s prior term). Every major currency appreciated against the U.S. dollar in 2025.

I mean assuming he doesn’t keel I’m sure the midterms will go super well, but what then? we’ll wind up right back here in a few because both of the above factions are worse than dead weight, they’re as regressive + reactionary as the Right they just don’t want to turn the clock back as far is all.

Not a doomer but I don’t get the sense that enough people on “our side” have gotten over the BS they engaged in that helped Republicans do this. Like we still have so-called centrists who want it to be 1991 more than they want to end this and so-called leftists who want to play 1971 more than win.

Magic Lantern slide of the Phantom Coach sign in Coventry. The pub is still in business & so is the coachman who haunts the premises whilst the sound of galloping horses can be heard late at night. Sadly, the pub has since yielded to modernity & has a new sign but the ghosts remain, nonetheless.

you guys wanna see a dead body?
The shrine of St. Catherine of Bologna. She is a dark brown mummified body dressed in a nun’s habit seated on a large gold throne. On either side, cherubs pull back blue that are backed in red and gold brocade and two golden angels are on either side of the throne. There are also some potted plants off to the side and my traddest opinion is that potted plants do not belong in church. That’s Vatican II nonsense.

The perfect Winter Dream
Berchtesgaden, Bavaria, Germany

Exceptional conditions in combination with a flock of Alpine choughs. Maybe they came down from the mountains due to the thick layer of snow.

Longmont was once a hardcore music hub for Front Range bands. A multigenerational group of locals is trying to take the town’s punk past into the future.

Great way to visualize Denver’s crazy warm December, with high temps 13.7° above average.

Denver had a warmer December than Raleigh, North Carolina - despite Raleigh being nearly 15° warmer than Denver in an average December.
