Anyhow, I liked that headline. Do you want to know what the subject matter was? Something about the city of Longmont, Colorado trying to use eminent domain to force a Dillards department store to give up some or all of its property rights. It was insider-speak, and not easy to follow. But his ranking things on a Kardashian scale reminded me of Star Trek, because the name sounds like something they would do if you haven't watched TV in the last five years.
So, what else today?
Do we write like we talk? Is reading this just as near as dammit (saw this expression in a novel set in Wales) to talking to me in person? Oh, maybe. Except I never say near as dammit and don't plan to start.
Yesterday I discovered the voice mail that is included with my landline was not activated. One never knows these things until the phone just rings and rings and doesn't go to voice mail. So I called the phone company, and of course they didn't know why it was taken off my account, but they were pleased to restore that service after I listened to a hard sell for getting my cable TV service from the phone company.
It has been very, very windy in Las Vegas and other southwestern regions lately, and we are dismayed here in Colorado to see dust from there has come here and turned our nice snow brown. This will cause it to melt faster due to absorbing more energy from the sun, which is a shame because it's better when it melts slowly. It's also a shame because orange-brown snow isn't very pretty.
Speaking of wildlife, and we weren't, a bear, or could have been raccoons, tipped over the trash can at the fishing parking. I hope it was a bear. This was before the snow, so I couldn't do any tracking. It'd be nice to see it, but it's always best when they don't hang around.
