But I admire your total commitment to it!  On April 22nd, while Americans celebrated Earth Day and a beautiful Friday (aside from everyone in Denver who walked outside to find hazy skies looking like Armageddon from wildfires blowing in from New Mexico, parts of Colorado, and Arizona), a Boulder Buddhist lit himself on hire at the front steps of Supreme Court in Washington DC as an act of protest to climate change.  While disturbing, that’s complete and total commitment.  Yet there are some questions to be asked in his commitment.   Like for starters, did he ride his bicycle or walk to Washington DC from Boulder, CO?  And did he start the fire through solar or wind power?  Were there flame accelerants used that may have been petroleum-based?  There are just so many contradictions I’m not sure where to start.  But hey, a silver lining - half-priced cremation.  Meanwhile, kids in the DC area are now suffering PTSD because they thought there was...

Hello Time Travelers! Thanks for stopping in today.  Today I'm taking you back to the 80's!  In reality there are a multitude of examples, but any time I get back to the 80's I will.  And, this is just a prime example. Not 100% related, but close enough.  This was a Denver born American NASA Astronaut buried right here in Denver.  Post space career, he later ran for Congress but died as he was sworn in - only seven days before beginning his congressional term at the age of 51.  He died of bone marrow cancer.  Cool guy who did some super cool things in a short 51 years.  Some of my readers may be too young to remember the Space Shuttle Challenger and the horrific disaster that ultimately changed NASA forever.  I was on a cusp of turning 7 when it happened and it quashed all my dreams of being an space traveler. I have a friend who worked on the Challenger and watched the space shuttle as it was getting rolled out unto the pad.  And, after...

  OMG, HEY!   What are you doing here?  I haven't seen you in FOREVVVS! First, and quite arguably more important to my actual content...the theme music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuwxZSIS__4 I'm a mountain biker identifying as a Easy Rider.   So, let's talk electric cars.  I had the opportunity to sit in on a free grassroots learning session on electric cars right before  Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. just stated that all Americans can save $80 on gas if they just buy an electric car already, GAH!  This is real super easy, guys, c'mon man.  They teach this stuff in Delaware public elementary schools and Delaware Technical College.  And, by now, we all know that to effect any radical policy changes (which Americans will never vote for), our Government goes from one crisis to another.  And, this time, (drumroll please) Putin is causing our spikes in gas...even though Russia only contributed 1-5% of our overall petro...
