What a pleasant surprise! #ChrisSpears the weather guy seen this morning back on #9news. He seemed to have disappeared not only from #television but also from social media. Hello again, and stick around. #Colorado #Denver #cowx
Best story in Sil so far is "Beren and Luthien." OTOH, "Turin Turumbar" is almost as unrelentingly depressing as the current news cycle. Be sure to read the publisher letter, it's almost like a translation.
It's really weird to hear national #NPR figures make a plug for your local station. When they pronounce the call letters, they somehow make it sound like they're trying to speak a foreign language. #Colorado #publicmedia
Agreed. Read "Polio, An American Story" by David Oshinski. Outstanding history of the battle to create #polio #vaccines, and the politics behind it. #antivax #vaccination
via Twitter: UPDATE: Firefighters continue to build suppression lines around the fine. Air resources have been ordered to support the operation. #PondsFire #FortCollins #cowx #cofire #Colorado
Heartily agree. "Trots and Bonnie" was the first feminist comic I read. Flenniken's work still looks good today. #comics
I don't need child care but I do like the colored markers in this photo in the @coloradosun.com article on where to find providers. Heh.
Watching "The Ten Commandments" (1956). Great epic movie. This classic film is always run on network the night before #Easter. Odd, because it's more appropriate for #Passover. Tomorrow I will pull up "Ben-Hur" (1959) on Amazon Prime, the perfect Easter movie. #HappyEaster
Grocery shopping is worse than just a chore now. It's like going to war. I'm completely wasted after getting everything put away.
#Colorado now resembles that classic #TwilightZone episode, " #Midnight Sun" (1961).
Futile Rage Post of the Day #2: #WholeFoods has discontinued its delicious Orange Cranberry Muffins in favor of Lemon Poppy Seed. Obviously there are far, far larger problems in the world, but... #bummer
Signs the aging are irrelevant. Went looking for mint jelly to go with lamb. #KingSoopers doesn't carry it anymore. The store manager said young people don't like it but that his mother called him asking for it. I found #Reese brand online. Crosse & Blackwell was parted out in 2022. #HappyEaster
THUMBS DOWN on #CBSMornings co-host #NateBurleson for his comments in support of actor #AlanRitchson beating up his neighbor who complained about Richman speeding on his motorcycle. Once the neighbor was down, stop the pounding; clearly the neighbor is no match. Apologize, Burleson. #CBSNews

AMAZING how stuff i've always taken for granted for availability vanishes from the marketplace as times and tastes change. After a determined search online, I finally found a vendor that still sells colored crew socks.
