    Any more hotel recommendations or additional strong VRBO suggestions?  Right now I have provisional reservations at the Sheraton Grand because of habit and because I'm a Marriot ahem Bonvoy points whore.

    But I sure would love to stay somewhere a little less $$ and with more character.

    Belltown rentals are a strong choice.   I've stayed in the same building twice now and it really can't be beat. It's bounded by 1st, Wall, 2nd and Battery.   You can walk to almost anything downtown and Uber to everything else near it.

    Right, but if the insurance is capped as standard business practice and is taken into account in the decision making process to make or not make the loan, then theoretically that cost is passed to taxpayers, right?

    Figured this was as good a post to put this.....   If taxpayers never have to pay for oopsies...    Why do we have Super Fund sites?

    I think they are building a pretty good team. They have a lot of pieces in place and made a big leap last season.

    This is like BBW lesbian porn.    Sure, there's pussy and tits but besides Vic, no one really wants to see the money shot.

    It’s called being browbeaten into letting yourself get walked all over by Trump and the Kremlin despite the American people overwhelmingly voting you into office to CHECK precisely that.

    You're an idiot.   You prove once again that you don't understand human nature and "Gotcha".   The Ds and Rs aren't in this for us.   They are in it for them.

    The only reason the Navy hasn’t shrunk significantly is because they are a huge bureaucracy that somehow dominates the military. They always have. 

    Define "always".   We weren't a sea power until Dewey sank a bunch of obsolete Spanish ships in Manila Bay.  Then we spent the next 30+ years playing by everyone else's rules (Washington Naval Treaty says HEY").   It wasn't until the Japanese showed the way with naval aviation that we woke up and realized that airplanes with (ever increasing) ordnance could project power beyond our shores on a way Billy Mitchell, Bull Halsey and Chester Nimitz never foresaw.  

    And now, with drones, and in all probability satellites and robot technology, we might just eliminate the human element from the battlefield.   We'll control it from further afar than even manned aircraft..

    Everyone under 40 is going to receive Social Security. It's never going to get cut.

    Receive or get our "promised" benefit?   I'm in that range and I'll be shocked if I get the "benefit" that they keep telling me I'm going to get.   Good thing I'm not planning my retirement with Social Security in mind at all.

    wrong. If you pick on immigrants and not the bad habits of the other 95%, it's discrimination by definition. 

    See that's the thing....   I dislike 95% of basically everyone.   Inside the US and out.

    It did not. However they just did a controlled Avalanche that closed the road today.

     

    The Colorado Department of Transportation shut down I-70 at 8:46 a.m. Tuesday. Shortly afterwards, crews used cannons to set off an avalanche on Mount Bethel near Herman Gulch. The snow slide that resulted sent 15 feet of snow over I-70’s westbound lanes and 8 feet of snow across the eastbound lanes. CDOT said it was the largest avalanche in that slide path in over 30 years.

    “There was some debris that came down. A cable guardrail was also damaged,” said CDOT spokeswoman Tracy Trulove. “Our team is clearing trees, rocks and dirt.”

    Avalanche mitigation work that led to other highway closings also took place on Interstate 70 between Copper Mountain and Frisco as well as Highway 40 over Berthoud Pass.

    “Our team is pretty darn busy today,” said Trulove.

    Operations at Loveland ski area are ongoing but skiers will be unable to leave the resort until the work is complete, unless there’s an emergency. That’s because Loveland Pass is also closed.

    Normally that sounds like a great way to call in sick/take some PTO for the Denverites.  "Sorry boss, can't make it in today.  Roads are closed and I wont be able to be in."  But Loveland doesn't exactly have any place to stay the night and I doubt there's a ton of vacancies at Keystone or Breckenridge this time of the year and you can't get there either if Loveland Pass is closed.   Not sure from the story but they might be able to backtrack to Breck and go south towards Alma/Fairplay and get out that way.

    Seriously?   Why is this a troll post?   It's worth a discussion when members of Congress propose changing voting dynamics.
