Getting Hostiles

Image
According to the IMDb website, some portion of the movie Hostiles was filmed in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Does this look like Pagosa Springs? The movie is gorgeously shot, and the locations are breathtaking.  Being somewhat familiar with Pagosa Springs, though, I'm having trouble matching any of the exteriors with anything within a 10-mile radius of Pagosa Springs. According to IMDb The railway station at Chama, New Mexico served as the stand-in for Butte, Montana.  Chama is about 50 miles away from Pagosa Springs, and Pagosa Springs definitely sent some of its own down to Chama to serve as extras, one of whom is currently pedaling coal from the Chama location on Ebay. A big-budget movie filming in a community of 2000 is generally a newsworthy event.  Filming of Hostiles took place in the summer of 2016, and Pagosa Springs' newspaper of record, the Sun , made no mention of stars Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike, Wes Studi, or director Scott Cooper hanging ou...

Since I have been "erased" by the estes.org website

Emails to the town board through my regular account are now blocked from public view. So much for transparency. But what the hell do you readers care? It's just free news to you that you can edify yourself with as you sit on your couches eating Fritos, doing nothing except allowing your democracy to circle down the drain while the front line fighters get mowed down on your behalf. Hi all - Two things that I would be interested in the town media exploring when they get the time: 1) Those of you who have ever driven on our nation's interstate highway system may be familiar with the occasional annoying practice of some truck drivers occupying both lanes of the interstate (passing lane and driving lane) on the two-lane sections and not passing each other, just driving side by side for miles and miles and miles (generally well below the posted speed limit for normal driving conditions) without allowing anyone behind them to pass. I'm sure this is illegal, but without enf...

Francis Edgar Stanley family tree

Image
This tree will be of interest to no one except those attempting to quiet title to land F.O. Stanley donated to the town of Estes Park in 1936.  It was produced in a matter of hours today starting from zero and using only the internet.  It contains tens if not hundreds of errors, and probably scores of missing descendants. What will be fun (at least for me) will be the time lapse of how this tree improves and fleshes out over the next few weeks, now that I am enlisting the help of living family members at the bottom of this tree by sending them this horrible tree.  Nothing like errors in your own history to light a fire. Even just a little accurate information bootstrapped from the internet shows how wrong prominent internet entries can be, and how convincing this misinformation becomes when it is picked up and repeated by other websites.  F.O. Stanley and F.E. Stanley sold their Stanley automobile manufacturing operation BEFORE F.E. Stanley's death in 1918, r...
