Good morning.
Rep. Boebert continues to draw the nation's attention. Today's Washington Post Fact Checker is on her "origin story" — one of the frequent themes checked by the group, the "regular lines that they use over and over to explain their political motivations."
Every damn thing about this scam artist is a lie.
So sure it weren’t them sliders what done him in? . . .
Today is IHOP National Pancake Day
Pi is infinite.
Every day is pi day.
There is only one kind of pancake! (skip the maple syrup and use powdered sugar and lemon juice)
Au contraire, ad we say in Phillips County! Use only true maple syrup, which is actually an affordable luxury from Costco.
Okay. I need to go on a diet and I'm gaining weight just reading your post.
hemp pancakes
Hey! That's Bowman's lane.
…or if you'd like to kick it up a notch:
Wake and Bake Pancakes
(that's a LOT of pancakes)
Latkes with schmaltz, baby.
Democratic accomplishments and Biden's speech last night had me searching for a Depression-era quote about political steps forward. Didn't find what I thought I would from FDR, but found his spouse wisely observing
Nice quote.
"MSU Spartans presented by Rocket Mortgage" um…what?
“It’s all about the education of our student athletes.”
Don't be surprised if this storm under performs, at least for Denver Metro. Check out http://www.weather5280.com for interesting analysis. They are using terms like "dry slot", "GFS wobble", "risk of warm temperatures" that may cause this storm to bust. For a storm that has had unprecedented hype since Monday, it is still possible that it turns out to be a dud, again at least for Denver and the Eastern plains.
I don’t know- the finches and chickadees have been packing on seed from the feeder all day. They usually get caloried up before a big storm.
If we are stuck inside this weekend, I recommend watching the America's Cup races out of Auckland, New Zealand on NBCSN network. These boats are large mono hull boats that foil out of the water the entire race and are speeding along three times the wind speed! The finalists are NZ and Italy. The USA boat didn't do too well in the qualifying races. They actually capsized on one turn resulting in hole in the hull requiring floats to keep it from sinking to the bottom.
Come for the sailboats, stay for the helicopters!
It's cool, isn't it? The catamarans in years past were also freakin' amazing.
I won't give away the score, but I will say it looks like it might be a close Cup race between NZ and IT.
Here’s the song about it from many years ago:

Land-grant universities continue to face a huge and costly backlog of deferred infrastructure needs that threaten U.S. agricultural competitiveness, according to a new report released by the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities.
If our Red State representatives weren’t so pre-occupied with culture wars perhaps we could get our act together and return to our status as the premier agriculture research country in the world? $11.5 billion dollars to get this mess shored up? Keerist on a kracker…some red-state Einstein could have tucked that amount into the recent relief package and it probably would have gotten a near-unanimous vote on the amendment (and then said Senator could have voted no on the main package).
Report: $11.5B in lagging facilities hampering US ag research
The goal of The Free Market has always been to move the United States into the third world.
We're almost there.
I hadn’t known that CSU was a land grant institution, or even what a land grant was. Now I do. CSU extension is a fount of useful information and research for people growing things in Colorado. If you need to know what plants are invasive, or how to finally get rid of bindweed, keep bees, etc, CSU extension is your go-to place. Their folks are extraordinarily helpful.
Upgrading infrastructure of land grant universities would be a really smart investment.
On July 2, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed into law a bill that donated land to each state for the establishment of colleges to provide a liberal and practical education to the “industrial class,” or the common person.
I did know that. I also knew that from the mid-’30s to the mid-50s it was Colorado A&M. My brother did his grad work there. Now he teaches composition to freshmen at CSU in Pueblo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_State_University
CSU Extension was the first in its national network to endorse “25x’25” At the time, under the leadership of Leigh Fortson who was taken from this world suddenly, CSU and “25x’25” co-hosted the first national extension conference on renewable energy and as I recall we had participation by nearly 30 states.
Extension was rural America’s first ‘internet of knowledge’. They can still play a significant role today; it’s all about budget priorities. As I posted yesterday, we’re nearly $12 billion behind on land grant research investments. It’s the product of that research that extension brings to our counties and kitchen tables.
