Peters is eligible for community corrections as early as the first half of 2027. It's unlikely she serves anywhere close to 9 years. I asked why he thinks the sentence is harsh.

🧵 CO's Sec't of State, county clerks and League of Women Voters are pleading with Gov. Polis not to pardon Tina Peters. In an interview just now, I asked what his message is to them.

"If you want to run for governor, you can be governor and then you have the ability to grant clemency and pardons."

The word of the day from the Colorado governor's State of the State-- lest you think we're a perfect square:

Would I date this Denver building?

Rogers Federal Bldg.

On our 1st date, he knew I was nervous, pushed my plate aside, clasped his hands around mine, and said, “I’m glad we’re here together.” Did he knock over my glass of Chianti? Yes.

We don’t see eye-to-eye, but always seek to understand.

Yes.

I asked a rodeo producer if the sport modernizes. Yes, he told me. Instant replay… and more and more spectacle.

He wasn’t kidding.

Speaking to a Canadian cowboy later today at the National Western Stock Show about rodeo as diplomacy.

For now, though, I’m thinking “Cowboy Boots and Cruisers” would make a good title for a book set in Colorado.

Newish Punjabi market and restaurant at 36 & Federal. Restaurant seemed overwhelmed by the number of tables, so I’m bookmarking for another day. Anyone been?

Unlike this spot, I am hardly a “symbol of purity.” (Oh and I love how the F and T in Farmers Market had to be pivoted out.)
