This is the scary photo. It looks like the mud has just started to flow over the road. Traffic has stopped in both directions. But if you look close there’s a guy on the walking path, lower right, up to his knees in water. The amazing part of this avalanche of mud is that no one was hurt.

This is what the highway through the canyon looked like 24+ hours later in 2021. The highway is just gone. It appears that in Silt they just have to clear off the avalanche of mud and they’ll be good to go.

Here’s a man standing on top of what was the top of the cliff but isn’t anymore

A group of highway engineers looking at what used to be the highway.

Clearing the lower eastbound part of the highway in order to see what damage had occurred. This is about 10 feet lower than the highway used to be. That’s about 3m.

The upper westbound lanes look like they’re about to collapse. They don’t. I’m not a civil engineer.

That current flooding is on the very west side of Colorado, near the appropriately named town of Silt, west of Glenwood Canyon, one of my most favorite places. In 2021 we drove through the Canyon alongside the Colorado River.

As we entered the Canyon everything was beautiful. On the left side of the photo you can see how the westbound highway is stacked on top of the eastbound highway (we were going east). But notice the storm clouds.

Very quickly the river changed to this color so we knew a lot of mud was in the river. We are driving along the north side but you can see the railroad tracks on the south side side.

Can you make sure he gets this? The phone was posted here by the Avs.

@rogerthedodger.bsky.social Which show are you going to?

Stephen@sfdegraff· Jul 11

Almost

Nothing like 1976 in the USA. It wasn’t just flags, it was bunting and stuff like this book. Imagine the stadium but everywhere.

Stephen@sfdegraff· Jul 9

This is the kind of stuff I expected to see in 2026. Everything was red, white, and blue in 1976.

Hazelnuts are creamy and come in a jar. With chocolate.

@vaseemkhanuk.bsky.social This is a photo of US Vice President Richard Nixon probably taken 1953 to 1960. Since he is holding a cricket bat I was hoping you could identify the location. Thanks. @picturesofnixon.com @dicknixon.bsky.social

Man wearing a suit and holding a cricket bat. He’s bent over in the traditional stance ready for a bowler to send the ball low and away. He’s standing in an empty cricket stadium.

Today is primary election day and this is an example of one of the things I don’t like about where I live. #ElectionDay

Apparently it’s a food group between Wichita and Tulsa.

Your choice: three 4-inch hot dogs in buns topped with chilli and cheddar cheese (Coney Island Hot Wieners); a bag of Fritos with chili, cheese, and sliced jalapeños (called a Frito Burrito); or a bag of Doritos with chili and cheese (a Waling Taco).

Stephen@sfdegraff· Jun 27

Why yes. I’m perusing the menu at a gas station. @rogerthedodger.bsky.social

Put chili and/or cheese on your grill item: a gas station hot dog. I’m not sure if a bag of Fritos is a grill item or what a walking taco is.

Finally a cool sticker

Stephen@sfdegraff· Jun 17

At the end of Twitter the Library and the WHPO started providing information for all of the @picturesofnixon.com photos. That was cool. They even tracked down Brezhnev’s car. It never got to Russia.

Big black American car with Nixon and Brezhnev standing behind it. Photo taken in front of rustic building and a bunch of trees. Presumably Camp David. Brezhnev took Nixon for a wild ride before revealing he’d never learned to drive.

I also found this

The Avs turned it into a lockscreen. I don’t have the original. Maybe @kahuna.bsky.social has it

At the end of every appointment my dermatologist compares his skin tone to that of the patient’s to remind them to take precautions when out in the sunshine. He has red hair and pale skin.
