They just keep going and going and going

Ranking Roger died late last month, for those who hadn't heard, at the age of 56.  For thems who got through college and college mixers thanks to The English Beat, it was a devastating blow, and a reminder of hold old they are. 
Busiest day of the year over at the post office besides cut-off date for mailing packages in time, and the recall troupe is ENERGIZED.  They are certainly not apologetic about stopping whoever, wherever, and asking if they need information on the recall.  The supposed deadline was 2:00 p.m. today, but they have blown through that and show no signs of breaking down.  They are going to stay until dusk, probably even schedule an early morning quickie for tomorrow if they don't run out of meds.  Who knows, maybe they will go on a hunger strike.

Holy cow to speak with them you would think they already have more than enough signatures.  What a Ocean's 11 move if they don't.  If they have carried off a charade well past the tolerance of most rational Estes Park residents just by smiling and revealing nothing, this is the new way to get elected to the town board.  Just smile and nod at the forum when the candidate question makes its way to you.

Inscrutable is the new black.

My response: If you're going to point out absolutes And how they're not such clear cut routes; Perhaps keep the same f****** metre Instead of jarring us with full stops In that way we can follow your leader And not involve the poetry cops!

Getting Hostiles

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...

My fair restaurants

Would Julie Andrews eat at a restaurant with two major health violations?  "Good" means one major health violation, "fair" means two.  [Singing:] The chicken in Estes restaurants falls mainly on the floor.
