My Colorado Thoughts

6/9/2024

 
 Elephants
How do those cute little darlings grow up to be frankly a little bit ugly and wrinkled adults?
Picture
A full grown elephant can eat as much as several hundred pounds of grass and vegetables a day. That means the growing youngster has to pack a lot of vegetables a day to obtain that size. In a herd of elephants many of the females help in raising in raising a calf. And that is how the little cutie gets to be the earth's largest land animal.

SOAR Initiative Brings Together Many Interests
A new initiative will conserve a large land area in the Colorado Springs area: Security, Open Space, and Agricultural Resilience (SOAR). The swaths of land will protect agriculture, military training uses, and provide protection for wildlife.
In the first project the partners acquired 11,900 acres to generate revenue for public education. The air above the property will provide training areas for the Air Force Academy. Also, these prairies support many mammals, birds and plant species.

Murder on Money Mountain
We've seen a sample of the hardback copy and it looks great. Available soon on Amazon, Ingram books and Barnes and Noble.
