Recent item in the Denver Post. Outdoor recreation; a $646 billion industry nationwide; will now be added to the federal government's annual compilation of gross domestic product (GDP). A bill, co-sponsored by Colorado's own Senator Cory Gardner, passed both the House and Senate by unanimous votes, and is on its way to the President's desk, who is expected to sign it.
Thank you, Senator Gardner, for your efforts on behalf of Colorado's, and the nation's, outdoor recreation economies.
Sen. Gardner's legislation doesn't improve the outdoor recreation economy – it merely officially recognizes it as a valid accounting entry.
He could trace the industry AND actually increase GDP by having them include state-legal marijuana.
Gardner's legislation wasn't intended to improve the outdoor recreation economy. We'll see how he comes down next year on issues like turning over public lands to special interests, etc. He's generally been good thus far on that type of issue.
Sorry, but a drug like marijuana is not part of the outdoor recreation economy, altho somebody may slip a toke on the ski slopes. In your thinking, alcohol should also be a part since some people carry flasks on their backpacking trips.
If Colorado accounted for the economic value of cannabis as an agricultural crop (like we do for Christmas trees and poinsettias) it would be Colorado's #1 agricultural crop by a factor of 2.
Hillary picks up 1 vote
After the first day of the Wisconsin recount Hillary has picked up one vote on Donald Trump.
Must be the Russians.
Why is Trump Fighting So Hard to Stop the Recount in Michigan?
Must be the Russians.
Andrew: Hillary did not request the recount; Jill Stein was the one. But even if somehow both Wisconsin and Michigan would flip over to Hillary, Hillary is still at 258 electoral votes and Trump at 280. Like it or not, Trump looks to be the guy and, no matter how anyone voted, the country is in for a wild ride the next 4 years. Recall the old Chinese proverb or curse: "may you live in interesting times."

OK, everyone, into the pool! No, really, everyone get in the pool now. No, Clarence, I don't care if you're allergic to chlorine, get into the fucking pool.
A great piece at the Colorado Independent:
Forced pooling is not mandatory swim practice
Colorado law compels communities that own their mineral rights to lease them against their will
Like imminent domain…only better.
