Quotes
Saving one animal won’t change the world but it will change the world for that one animal.
God loved animals and created forests. Man loved animals and created cages.
Let them live, they’ll do the rest!
Want to shoot animals?…use cameras!
Fishing
Talk about the one that got away. Thoughts and Opinions fishing trip this week, at different times had four fish hooked on the line. One went under a rock, and we had to break the line to get the line back. Two got off before they were reeled in. The last one got off on the hook on the beach and flopped back into the lake. A whole new concept for catch and release. Fish 4 - Fisherman 0

Colorado's First Newspaper
Have you heard of the Cherry Creek Pioneer? Probably not. The Rocky Mountain News won by twenty minutes in competition with the Pioneer to become the first newspaper in Denver. William Byers printed and distributed 500 copies of The Rocky Mountain News April 23, 1859.
Life in the early days of The Rocky Mountain News was not easy. Although warned by the Indians, Byers moved to his own building on stilts extending over of Cherry Creek to express his commitment to both of the rival towns of Auraria on the West side of the creek and Denver on the east side. Denver’s first deadly flood struck on the night of May 19, 1864. The building containing the Rocky was swept away. The paper rebuilt and became a Denver institution.
Byers waged a campaign against corruption targeting Soapy Smith. The managing editor of the Rocky, John Arkins, allowed disrespectful comments about Smith's wife to be published and Smith assaulted Arkins with a cane, severely injuring the editor. After ten long years Soapy Smith's gang was run out of town. The Rocky Mountain News played a large part in cleaning up the corruption.
From Murder in the Rockies, an Andrew Coyle mystery from 1893
Coyle walked half a block to the Windsor, and once inside, put his suitcases down to survey the lobby. It was beautiful, as beautiful as any hotel in his hometown of Philadelphia, or at least as fine-looking as any hotel in Pittsburgh. A cut-glass chandelier hung from the ornate ceiling which looked to be two stories up. Between two Corinthian columns a mahogany front desk stood in front of rows of pigeonholes for room keys and mail. Groups of red velveteen easy chairs and settees sat in small groups around the room.
“Ahh,” Coyle sighed, “civilization in the Wild West.”
