How about that weather....

Yeah - it was pretty miserable... Luckily, it was raining... ya know, cooling things off a bit.... (I like the "+", just in case you weren't sure it wasn't that COLD....)

See? I wasn't kidding!

New Rule!

Do you remember playing tag when you were 4 or 5? There was always some other kid that, whenever you tagged them, they would shout "NEW RULE!" and come up with some stupid reason why you can't have just tagged them.

The game's a lot more irritating when you are 35 and the game has higher stakes.

Thoughts on immigration and terrorism...

They come here to find a better life, but they refuse to assimilate to our culture. And they are affecting our economy. Now the Californians have "purchased" our mall to engage in terrorist-like activities.

What good is an outdoor mall in Colorado? (Notice that all of the "concept drawings" on the website are summertime. Californians refuse to acknowledge that winter happens in Colorado when it is 75% of the year! Those are the four seasons of Colorado: Already winter, winter, still winter and construction.) I like the name of the website: "Celebrate Southglenn"? How, by tearing it down?

These Californians never understood the concept that, sure, lots of people do their "shopping" at Park Meadows because it is elegant, but when the Colorado Natives went to do their purchasing, they used to go to Southglenn where the prices were reasonable because they didn't have to pay such high taxes and pay as much of the store owner's lease.

The first reason why sales dropped at Southglenn was that with the influx of so many Californians in the last two decades, they had to shop out Southglenn until they were able to build their own mall - then they all when away and left the Colorado natives to themselves - we actually liked that they all went away. The second reason that sales dropped at Southglenn is that Park Meadows was advertising and Southglenn wasn't. It's called economics - they wanted to redevelop Southglenn when they bought it, so they made sure it wasn't successful.

It is weird to see a building that you have known for 30+ years with a hole ripped in the side of it - if the instigators have a permit or not.

I say that we find a way to send them all back....
