Ok, I'll play... why is snow scary, rk?

wolf · 12-23-2006, 01:27 PM

Because he's from Florida.

Whew.

There are many things in the south that scare me. Pecans...grits..."sweet" tea. I will keep my snow away from you if you keep those things away from me.

As is being snowed in. It's actually kind of depressing when it all starts to melt and cars are able to actually make it down the block without sliding all over.

Called my mom today, she lives in Lakewood, JeffCo. She and my brother have been digging out for the past two-three days. She promises me pics, saying the house is duly frosted three feet deep at the eaves. They are just getting out and getting supplies, though the stores aren't getting very complete resupply yet.

Golden is most famous for lager beer -- Coors seems to taste better there than it does anywhere else.

And pecans go in pie mighty fine. They have all the good parts about walnuts, to which they are related, and none of the nasty bitterness.

I am really not sure what our number is because of the drifts caused by yesterday's winds. I am guessing close to 30 inches in Golden. We are almost in the mountains here, so we typically get more snow than Denver.

Oh, well...only 30" or so. Pffft. No big deal.

kerosene · 12-25-2006, 02:36 PM

Yeah, really, els. Actually, it is about down to 10" and the streets are dry. That's kind of how it works in CO. It might dump on us, but it will be gone in a few days.

Golden is in Jeffco and right next to Lakewood. I think everyone in the Denver metro area was digging out. Yes, Golden is most famous for the Coors beer. I live a couple of blocks away from the plant and smell the hops about every other day. Not being a beer drinker, I wouldn't really know the difference between "fresh" Golden Coors and other Coors. I like the hops smell, though. If I were forced to drink beer, it would have to be one of the New Belgium varieties from Fort Collins.

I'm trying to imagine balancing a Coors on an artist's palette... my imagination fails.

Where the eF do you put the paintbrushes...?

wolf · 12-26-2006, 10:24 AM

You don't balance the Coors. You stick it to the pallette with one of the thicker colors, probably the white.

You then stick the paintbrushes in the can, because it's barely suitable for cleaning them.

kerosene · 12-26-2006, 08:21 PM

I should try that. Much cheaper than real turpentine.

That's when Denver gets flash flooding. I lived there for a half year (winter-spring) while attending a joint service school at Lowry AFB. Following a blizzard and rapid thaw, there was a flash flood while driving to the base. From the high road I was on, I saw a helmeted head seemingly floating out in the middle of an intersection. It was a motorcyclist who didn't know that the roads dipped steeply down several feet at their crossing. The biker probably thought he was going to plow through the water and just get his boots wet. A neighborhood man went to the biker's assistance in a canoe!

In better weather, I used to bicycle from Denver up past the Coors factory, through Golden, and further up into the foothills. It was a lot of work getting there (used some low gear ratios); but, what a blast coming back down! Passing through, I found Golden to be quaint.

I see that there's a hands waving in the air, run screaming weather forecast for the Front Range yet again...
