Roadhouse Auto Center
Locally Owned & Operated
Tom Donat – Owner
Ron Jacobs – General Manager
For many years, automobile dealers considered the "used car" business a sideline
to selling new models. The friendly guys down at ROADHOUSE AUTO CENTER
located at 2381 F Rd. in Grand Junction, phone 970-254-1061, are changing that by
totally rejecting this theory. They believe that the used car buyer is just as important
as the new car buyer by giving the customer the best possible price, quality and
service. They specialize in used cars, and right now, they're dealing with a lower
profit margin than anyone in an all-out effort to help their customers by offering great
deals on good, used economy cars with a lifetime guarantee on their vehicles.
The kind of business that this respected firm does is the main reason people return
again and again when they need an automobile because they know that integrity,
quality, and value are always offered here.
Stop in at ROADHOUSE AUTO CENTER and look over the tremendous values in
quality used automobiles. We suggest this firm for better cars AND better values!
Tom, Ron and staff wish everyone a Happy and Prosperous Holiday Season and look
forward to seeing you soon.

Sonja’s Snuggables
When did you start producing
your line of snuggable animals?
About four years ago.
What is the most popular animal with your customers?
That’s hard to say, as the elephant and the giraffe seem to be
tied in popularity right now.
How long does it take to make
one?
It takes approximately 2.5
hours.
Where have you been selling
these little creatures?
I sell them on my Web site at
http://www.sonjassnuggables.
Oh, yes! Give me 3-7 days,
and i can have it ready for you,
in your choice of colors and critters!
The animals are made out of
fleece with child-safe eyes, and
they’re made in a smoke-free,
pet-free atmosphere. They are
machine washable with cold
water and a low heat dryer. I love
to watch people of all ages with
my creations—the way their eyes
light up. It’s amazing to me that I
was able to create something that
brings happiness to so many….

egg rolls or made the mixture to
roll. So I was flying blind... but I
had ingredients. I had elk steak, a
bag of pre-shredded coleslaw mix
(shredded cabbage and carrots,
no dressing), I had extra fresh carrot for more low calorie bulk, rice
wine vinegar, chicken base, wasabi
powder; and I had the drive to make
something tasty!
So I used my grill pan to sear the
elk to medium rare, and I set it aside
to rest. I added slaw veggies to the
hot pan with the juice from the elk
(mostly water, since there is so little
fat). As it was cooking down, I added 1 teaspoon chicken base (better
than bullion) to a 1 cup of hot water,
mixed thoroughly and added 1 tsp
wasabi powder (be careful—it can
be potent).
After it cooks down for a few
minutes and cabbage starts to soften, add a tablespoon of rice wine
vinegar to the mixture and continue
cooking until veggies look like sauerkraut.
Add the meat back in the mixture
and stir to combine. At this point, I let the meat cool
(actually I stored it in the refrigerator for a couple of days because of
my hectic week). Follow instructions on egg roll
wrappers to fill and roll. I used the process for baking
(brush with olive oil instead of
cooking spray). I flipped them over
about 10 minutes into the baking to
ensure that they would crisp up on
both sides.
I will make them again and I will
tweak the recipe a little to make
the flavors pop—more wasabi, soy
sauce, maybe sesame oil... who
knows?
Now go cook a wild animal! Send me a note or leave a comment to let me know what you

I am experimenting with elk meat
to come up with new ideas for a
friend with abundance. I’ve added the ground meat to tacos, eggs,
quesadillas, etc. I cooked steaks
and sliced them, diced them—and
I enjoyed it all.
The meat is tender, mild flavored
and extremely low fat. Of all the red
meats, including beef, lamb, pork,
buffalo, white-tailed deer, mule deer
and elk, the elk is the highest in protein and lowest in fat.
I asked around, and I found that
a lot of people like elk compared to
other wild game. Several individuals use it in place of beef in all of
their recipes.
I wanted to try something new,
and I had just run my wonton
experiments (wonton-wrapped

Every December we feature our “Look at Business,” brought to us by our
long-time publishing friends at Community Press Service in Idaho. This
has become a very popular feature for our readers over the years. You can
Look at Business on page 2-3. We have also started a new service directory.
We have avoided this for years because there is a lot of administration
that goes with this type of section. Finally, it looks like we’ve partnered
up with a software company that will make the administration part go
smoothly. The great thing about a service directory is that it’s affordable
for any type—and any size—of business. So far, the response has been
good. Check it out; it’s on page 9.
Last Saturday was rocking downtown for the Parade of Lights. This
year, GJ Pipe did not one but two of their amazing floats. I’ve always
wondered how long it takes to get those floats ready for the parade. The
turnout this year looked to be the same as always—BUSY. Wall-to-wall
bundled-up folks waiting for hours along the street for the parade to start.
It’s really mind boggling how many people attend this decidedly chilly
parade. It’s great that the non-profits can set up and sell their goods to
the parade goers.
In February, we will be celebrating our 20th year of publishing. I’m
hoping that 2012 is a prosperous and busy year for all small business
owners. We certainly wouldn’t have lasted 20 years if it weren’t for the
support of small business owners. Unfortunately, we get very little support from the big-box, franchise-type businesses. We don’t quite fit into

project will increase the overall efficiencies and flow of the local transportation system, improving both
local and regional traffic.
WHAT DID WE BUILD?
The overpass extends 29 Road
from D ½ Road—where it used to
end—across the railroad tracks,
and adds a connection to I-70B
and North Avenue. 29 Road now
provides travelers a straight shot
from Orchard Mesa all the way to
Patterson Road.
The project consisted of:
• Approximately 3.7 miles of new
or reconstructed roadway;
• The main 871-foot long concrete
roadway bridge (consisting of seven
spans);
• A 322- foot-long concrete ramp
connecting to I-70B (consisting of
five spans);
• A five-lane urban arterial with
sidewalks and bike lanes;
• 377 individual steel piles with a
combined length of over 3.5 miles;
• Construction of 67,000 square
feet of retaining walls;
• Approximately 6,300 feet of
storm drain, sewer, and irrigation
pipe.
WHAT DID IT COST?
The 29 Road and I-70B Interchange
project was jointly funded by Mesa
County and the City of Grand
Junction. The costs of the project
were partially funded by a $3.2
million Energy Impact Grant from
the Colorado Department of Local
Affairs (DOLA).

WHAT’S NEXT? The final phase
of the project will be a future connection to Interstate 70 at 29 Road
when funding becomes available.

“Cut up some raw vegetables,”
she said, “and buy some dips.”
“Gee, if I have time left, can I do
anything else?” I inquired with just
a soupcon of sarcasm.
“Oh, yeah,” Babs said. “Give me
your recipe—assuming you used
one—for that turnip-horseradishbleu cheese soufflé thing you made
one year.”
“What year was that?” I perked
up, encouraged that Babs, an accomplished cook, had found one of my
dishes memorable.
“I can’t remember,” she hesitated.
“I may have blocked it out after we
took Grandma to the emergency
room that night.”
“Oh, HUH!” I shot back cleverly.
“There was never conclusive proof
my soufflé was responsible. Cousin
Herb had three helpings and no
complaints!”
“Herb has the palate and the
metabolism of a pot-belly stove.”
“Then why do you want the recipe?” I parlayed peevishly.
“Oh,” she brightened, “Mindy’s
making a Nativity scene for Sunday
school. I think your soufflé would
work as the crusted snow ground

Karou’s world is a place where
winged creatures roam the sky and
a chimaera named Brimstone collects all sorts of teeth for his mysterious necklaces. Brimstone’s teeth
will soon run out.
Karou is the ‘errand’ runner for

Brimstone is a monster, he is all
Karou has known for family since
a young age. He is her family.
Who is Karou? She doesn’t know.
Her hair grows blue naturally from
the roots. She speaks many languages—languages of humans and
monsters alike. She fills sketchbooks
with dramatic drawings of monsters
that are real, but a secret for her to
keep. Karou is a mystery to herself
and to everyone else. But that is the
question she keeps getting asked.
Who is she? What is she?

the more adventuresome breathed
again. They picked warily at their
pie.
“Ah, what’s pumpkin pie without
lots of topping?” my brother Warren
boomed.
“Indeed—lots of topping!” Aunt
Bonnie agreed, wresting the Cool
Whip from her sobbing granddaughter.
Grandma patted my cheek. “I
never considered using whole
cloves and cinnamon sticks in a custard pie,” she smiled indulgently.
“It’s all from scratch,” I shrugged
modestly. “And I substituted winter
squash for the pumpkin.”

a wonderful stranger, Akiva, finds
Karou, Karou haunts him. He sees
beauty in her face. Together they

I thank my school’s wonderful
librarian, Mrs. Johnson. She let
me borrow the school’s copy of
this book before it was processed
because she knew how much I
wanted to read it. I appreciate her
kindness, and I hope she will do the
same in the future!
Daughter of Smoke and Bone has
been on my to-read list for quite
some time. I had hoped it would
fulfill my great expectations of this
new series. And, indeed, it did! It
surpassed my expectations! This
new fantastical world of mythological creatures twisted my mind and
gave me joy. This book was beyond
wonderful.
I loved the voice that Laini Taylor
incorporated into this book. Her
writing was great; her style told
the story and just sucked me in—I
could not put it down. This mystery
is one of the best books I have read
ever. I cannot wait for the sequel!
Karou is definitely going on my
list of book characters I would
want for a best friend, right next to
Katniss from The Hunger Games and
Mara Dyer from The Unbecoming
of Mara Dyer. Karou was unlike
any character I have ever ‘met.’
Her stubbornness and capability
were so endearing and awesome
to watch unravel throughout the
book. Karou definitely grew as a
character throughout the book, and
it made her even more enticing at
the end.
The thing I enjoyed most was
the unpredictability of this entire
story. Just as soon as you started
thinking you knew what came
next, Laini Taylor just flipped you
around, and you landed on your
head. Sometimes unpredictability
in a book can be annoying and irritating, but this accomplished the
opposite—it encouraged me to continue reading.
Laini Taylor does a fantastic job of
snagging the reader right away and
leaving the reader wanting more at
the end. It’s definitely a book you
NEED to read! I can’t wait for the
sequel. Some writers just cannot
write fast enough!
“Shaken, not stirred!”
“I know a fool-proof recipe—no
offense,” Liz enthused. “Just host a
Tupperware piecrust party!”
I did. Ten pie-makers and I
watched as Liz plied her wares
in my kitchen. Her patter was as
bright and slick as the plastics she
employed to tidily measure, mix,
roll, size and shape her easy-mix
foolproof dough.
But scarcely into her demonstration, Liz’s hair knotted on her dewy
forehead.
“For heaven’s sake, this won’t
hold together,” she giggled nervously. “I’ll just mix it a bit more.”
When her arms sagged limply,
Liz whiffed strings of hair out of
her eyes, pounded dough boulders
together, and rolled them out. “Oh
dear,” she whined, ”it’s sticking to
my patented pastry sheet!”
She continued laboring. “Well!”
she huffed. “This crust never ripped
before!”
An impish grin played on my
sister Babs’ lips. “Liz,” she asked,
“does Tupperware make any amulets in decorator plastic? Anything
to ward off hexes and jinxes?”
“Let me see—” Liz frowned,
distracted. Sloughing dried dough
from shaking hands, she rummaged
through counter debris for a catalog.
“Sis,” Babs chuckled as she turned
to me, “stick with Tupperware—buy
bowls for storing and serving cut
vegetables and dips.”

sister-in-law Gracie asked as she
realigned the tines on her fork.
“I used your recipe,” I beamed.
Glances ricocheted around the
room. Gracie couldn’t stifle a convulsive shudder. Gradually whitestreaked wedges of picked-at pie
piled up at the sink. My sisters had
me ramrod a game for the kids
downstairs, and they disposed of
the remains. Downstairs, I heard
the disposal rumble, devouring my
offering….
I don’t know when I lost what
little knack I’d ever claimed with
piecrust. I do recall my son Newt,
age six or so, requesting I whip up
a batch to resole his sneakers. “Kill
him, Mom,” his older brother Dev
had suggested hopefully. I made
a show of deliberation. “Naw,” I
declared finally, “it was too much
trouble having him.”
Besides, Newt was right: My
piecrust had edged past edible years
before. But after that incident, I
exhausted every recipe I could find,
finagle or fabricate. One resembled
Ninja Turtle Mutant Ooze; another
pebbled like road-base; still another
was decidedly Flubber-ish.
“What’s the secret of piecrust,
Liz?” I blubbered on the Tupperware
lady’s shoulder. “Women give their

IRRELATIVITY...Dear Bad Guru
NO REGRETS, THOUGH…
I used to say that I have no
regrets.
I’d say this as often as the situation allowed. Or, if the situation
didn’t allow, I’d create a situation
that did, just so I could say it. Not
always easy, but always worth it.
Because there’s something so
enlightened about not having
regrets, isn’t there? Something just a
little bit evolved-er-than-thou. That
rare alignment of Zen and smug. “Wow,” people would (surely)
think. “This guy has no regrets. I
wish I could be more like him.” And the thing is, I actually
believed it. I sincerely felt that, in
the scope of my life, there was nothing that I regretted. Sure, there were
things that I could have done differently, situations I’d have preferred
to avoid—or embrace, moments
where the “diem” could have been
more passionately “carped;” but in
each instance, I can see how they
all eventually led to something better. Kind of a “what don’t kill you
makes you stronger” concept, only
without sounding so much like a
country music lyric.
And it’s not like I’ve lived a sheltered life, either. No, I’ve had real,
legitimately regrettable things happen to me—family deaths, unkind
words spoken in anger, being a
teenager in the 80s. It’s a long list,
but it all crumbles before my “no
regrets” mantra.

But then, just last week, something happened.
We’re making our weekly trip
to Home Depot, armed with a list
of stuff we need to buy in order
to move ahead on our neverending home renovation project. (Do I
regret buying a house that needs far
more work than I ever imagined?
Ha! What do you think?) It’s a twohour round trip drive; and, once
you get inside Home Depot, time
expands, so it’ll be at least six hours
later when we finally get home.
We’ve gotten a bit of a late start, and
we have other things to get to today,
so...focused, efficient, productive...
that’s what we’re shooting for.
Our big left turn happens at this
quirky little intersection in the town
of Delta CO. On one corner is the
pot store. On the other is an out-of-
business gas station. Apparently it’s
possible to stay in business selling
pot, but not selling gasoline. The gas
station’s abandoned pump area has
become an unofficial swap meet/
craft fair lot.
Birdhouses have dominated this
corner for the past few weeks. An
older man has a little trailer parked
there, with folding tables set up
along each street, each of them
laden with birdhouses of varying
sizes, styles and colors. There’s a
little sandwich board set up right
by the road—“Grandpa’s Hobby
Hut.” And I have to say, it’s just
downright, down-home adorable. We always look forward to a
Grandpa sighting on our trips to Big
Box Village.
Last week, Grandpa had decided to do some multi-tasking. In
between helping customers, he was
painting “Grandpa’s Hobby Hut”
in big, bold, all-caps on the side of
his trailer. I caught the green light,
so I was turning left when Christina
pointed it out to me.
“It says ‘GRANDPA’S HO’ on his
trailer.”
I glanced over my shoulder as I
completed the turn. Omigod! He’s
just putting the finishing touches on
the “O.” There’s an old man painting “GRANDPA’S HO” on the side
of a trailer. This is pretty much the
moment my whole life has led up
to! Can you imagine the Facebook
response once I make this my profile
photo? It’ll totally go viral! And all I
have to do is turn around, make the
block, and snap a picture.
But, at each opportunity, I hesitate, putting on my blinker and
switching it off again. On kind of a
tight schedule, after all. Got a house
to fix up. Need to have a place to,
you know, live this winter. Should
keep moving—shopping to do—
stay on task. Gotta be responsible.
Gotta grow up some time.
Soon, I’d passed the point of no
return. Turning around here would
just be a waste. Anyway, it’s probably “GRANDPA’S HOB” by now,
which is of no use to me.
I kept driving, leaving Grandpa
to the undocumented painting of
his trailer.
And I’ll regret that for as long as
I live.
Have a Great Day!

Celtic band
By Randy Raisch
When it came time to
review Korn’s latest release, The
Path of Totality, the review was
writing itself in my mind before
the music even started...
“After a few good releases in
the mid- and late-nineties (and a
handful of mildly average releases
since) Bakersfield, California’s Korn
is back with its tenth studio album
blah, blah, blah...
As leaders of the American ‘numetal’ scene, the band has trudged
along for almost two decades blah,
blah blah...
Korn seems to have lost its way
over the last few albums, as the
members’ nu-metal sound has slowly evolved into boring, unlistenable
blah, blah, blah....”
And so on and so forth.
The band has been
traveling a downward
spiral, from this analyst’s
perspective, for years, as
review after review has
scathed the band for resting on its laurels, failing to
grow musically and leveling out as a band. I agree
with most of this rhetoric, as Korn has become
more of a disappointment
and less of the driving
force behind nu-metal it
once was. Long gone are the days
of “A.D.I.D.A.S.” and “Freak on a
Leash,” but considering the band
at least USED to be good, I gave the
record the obligatory listen.
Maybe the band members finally listened to the critics, or came
to the realization that they had
become pretty stale. Whatever it
was, Korn has simply changed the
game again by creating an album
filled with catchy hooks, strong lyrics, and, believe it or not, a heavy
dubstep element.
That’s right. Dubstep.
The electronic/industrial/dance
craze that is infecting today’s youth
has found its way to the Korn camp,
but before you accuse the band of
Tunes
Korn returns with a whole new bite!
cashing in on the latest trend in an
attempt to regain relevancy, think it
through. Jonathan Davis claims the
band has been doing it all along.
“We were dubstep before there was
dubstep,” states Davis. “Tempos at
140 with half-time drums, huge bassedout riffs. We used to bring out 120 subwoofers and line them across the whole
front of the stage, 60 subs per side. We
were all about the bass.”
The singer also praised the younger fans of his band for embracing
its new sound, but hit out at ‘oldschool metalheads’ who were being
dismissive of it.
He added: “These kids are onto
something completely innovative and
new. It’s pure and awesome and underground and heavy and different, not like
stale-ass metal and rock’n’roll. I love
them all, but the old-school metalheads
are not open to change.”
Wi t h t h e h e l p o f d u b s t e p
gurus Skrillex, Noisia, Downlink and
others, the band has put together a
potentially ground-breaking album
yet again, filled with effects and
dance beats that just may bring
Korn back to the forefront of modern metal. You can’t really call it numetal anymore, but it is definitely
‘new.’
The time was right for a change,
and I found the new album energetic and refreshing. I also credit the
band for taking the chance on something different. They knew from
the get-go that they were bound to
alienate a few fans along
the way, yet decided to do
it anyway—a reminder of
the aggressive attitude the
band once had and appears
to have found once again.
The featured producers are all on point here,
but the stand-out effort
belongs to newcomer
Skrillex. His contributions
to the tracks “Chaos Lives
in Everything,” Narcissistic
Cannibal,” and “Get
Up” take the album over
the top; they are pounding dubstep
anthems.
Where the album excels most,
though, is in the fact that it still is
a Korn record. Beneath all the bleeps
and bloops, the listener is still well
aware of exactly the band they are
hearing. Davis’ voice is as haunting as ever, and there is no mistaking James “Munky” Shaffer’s guitars and Fieldy’s bass. If anything,
the band is playing better than ever
with a renewed spirit both musically and lyrically—both of which
have been missing of late.
Apparently, you CAN teach an
old dog new tricks, and—regardless
of what you read elsewhere—this
pooch just got its bite back.

Trez Equis is performing at
Allen’s Unique Autos on New
Year ’s Eve, along with the
Fabulous Chubby Checker.
2011
Celebrate the 50th anniversary of
the TWIST! Chubby Checker will
be performing live December 31,
New Year’s Eve, 7pm-1am, at Allen
Unique Autos, 2285 River Road.
Tres Equis & Papa Rocket will also
perform! For information on tickets
and reservations, call 263-7410. It
will be a rousing good time, so get
your Twist muscles moving again!
Chubby Checker was born Ernest
Evans in Spring Gulley, South
Carolina, but grew up in South
Philadelphia with his parents
and two brothers. When he
was a boy, his mother took him
to see Sugar Child Robinson,
a child piano prodigy and
famous country singer Ernest
Tubb. Young Evans vowed to
someday enter show business
and took his first step toward
that goal by forming a streetcorner harmony group when
he was only 11.
By the time he entered high
school, Ernest played piano at
Settlement Music School and
did some vocal impressions. He
also went to South Philadelphia
High School with his friend
Fabian Forte, who would have
show business success of his
own. After school, Chubby
would sing and crack jokes at
his various jobs, including Fresh
Farm Poultry and the Produce
Market. It was Ernest’s boss
at the Produce Market, who gave
Ernest the nickname “Chubby.”
The owner of Fresh Farm Poultry
began showing off his employee to
customers through a loud speaker. He and a friend arranged for
Chubby to do a private recording
for Dick Clark, a Yuletide novelty
tune called “Jingle Bells,” on which
Chubby did several impressions of
top recording stars. Dick Clark sent
it out as a Christmas greeting to
friends and associates in the music
business. Cameo-Parkway liked
it so much that they wrote a song
called “The Class,” and it became
Chubby’s first hit in early 1959.
In June of 1959, Chubby recorded
“The Twist.” Bernie Lowe, president
of Cameo Parkway records was not
initially impressed with Chubby’s
recording and felt it may be a “B”
side, at best. However, Chubby felt
“The Twist” was something special
and undertook non-stop rounds of
TV dates, interviews and live performances promoting the record.
Fourteen months later, in the summer of 1960, “The Twist” was a
hit.
“The Twist” was not only the
#1 song, but it introduced the concept of “dancing apart to the beat.”
Over the next few years, endless
songs incorporating “The Twist”
into its name sprang up, such as
“Peppermint Twist,” “Twist and
Shout” and “Twistin’ the Night
Away.” Each new song brought a
new dance involving “dancing apart
to the beat,” such as “The Jerk,”
“The Hully Gully,” “The Boogaloo”
and “The Shake.” At the forefront
was Chubby with “The Fly,” “The
Pony” and “The Hucklebuck.”
The next few years were prolific
for Chubby as hit followed hit.
In between recording and touring, Chubby added feature films
to his portfolio with the releases
of “Don’t Knock the Twist” and
“Twist Around the Clock.”
In the fall of 1961, record
industry history was made
when Checker ’s original hit
record “The Twist” re-entered
the charts, and by January 1962,
it was back in #1 position. No
other record before or since
has accomplished that feat.
Combining its 1960 run with
its 1961/62 return, “The Twist”
spent an amazing nine months
total on U. S. bestseller charts.
Chubby Checker merchandise
was everywhere. His success
continued for years. “Let’s Twist
Again” won him a Grammy for
Best Rock Performance.
While hits kept coming, the
highlight of 1964 was Chubby’s
marriage to Catharina Lodders,
Miss World 1962.
By 1988, Chubby demonstrated extreme musical diversity by
recording a very different “Yo
Twist” with the Fat Boys. This song
went to #14 on the charts. In 2000,
Chubby branched out into the snack
food business commemorating 40
years of “The Twist” with Chocolate
Checker Bars, Beef Jerky, Hot Dogs,
and Popcorn, all to be washed down
with Girl of the World Water (dedicated to his wife).

WORK ON NEW ALBUM BEGINS. SHORT TOUR IN DECEMBER
Although the Young Dubliners are deep into writing and recording their ninth studio album they have
allowed themselves a brief break in the process to play a few gigs in December. November has been set aside to
concentrate on the new recording, which is not easy for a
band that spends most of its life on the road. “We just find
it very hard to write when we are constantly moving so
every few years we have to lock ourselves away and focus
exclusively on writing new material” says Keith Roberts,
frontman for the group. “What made it fun and refreshing
is when we realized how many song ideas we had, now we
are all excited to get these songs done and out there.”
The song writing process has become more and more
collaborative for the band with each album. “Knowing
each others strengths from playing and writing together
for so long has played a big part in allowing each song to
develop more quickly.” Its one of the unusual cases where
too many chefs actually improves the broth!”
The few December dates allow the band to air out some
of the new material but also to remind them what is most
important to them, playing to an audience. “At the end of
the day its all about performing for us. When you play over
150 shows a year its hard to suddenly stop for too long of
a time. Hitting some of our favorite haunts will keep the
blood flowing and give us some useful feedback on the
new material.”

Where Comforting Doesn’t have to Cost
The Denver Sports Scene
By Kevin LaDuke
It is December, and the temperature is dropping. Snow may start to
fall sometime soon, and most of us
are getting ready for Santa to appear.
This can only mean one thing. No,
we all know Christmas and New
Year’s are there, but it means that
most of the major sports will be
and are going on right now. There
are, of course, a few missing, such
as the Colorado Rockies and the
Colorado Rapids. The three major
sports teams in Colorado are rolling
along or, since the NBA lockout is
over, about to begin. If you are still
wondering, then you are probably
not a sports buff, or you don’t follow the Colorado Avalanche, the
Denver Nuggets, and the Denver
Broncos.
Let’s start with the Colorado
Avalanche. They struggled mightily last year on the rebuilding side
of the spectrum. That makes for a
long season and not a lot of wins.
Through the draft and with a key
pick up in goal, the Avs are back on
track to make it exciting to watch
them again. And it looks like they’ve
done well in the draft with some key
young players. Matt Duchene, Ryan
O’Reilly, Paul Statsny, and Gabriel
Landeskog are the young group that
could propel the Avalanche back to
being contenders someday. They
started out very strong as a team,
but then they went into a little bit
of a slump through November. At
the start of December, they seemed
to get back on track with some good
offense and better goalkeeping. A
very nice win versus the dreaded
Detroit Red Wings, or as my friends
know them, the “Dead Things,” can
only make us hope they keep up
this wave of scoring and strong net
play.
After the middle of November,
or when talks broke down and both
sides walked away from each other,
it sure didn’t seem to many that
there would be an NBA season. I’m
not even going to go into who was
at fault since it seemed both were
out for the pot of gold. The problem
is that they both may have actually
knocked some of it out and can’t get
it back, since some fans are saying
they will not go back to watching
NBA. Let’s focus on the Nuggets,
though. The Nuggets are going to
have to rebuild some since they have
several free agents either restricted
or non-restricted. Their biggest task
will be to try and re-sign Nene. He
used to have a last name, but I guess
he ran into Madonna and dropped it
somewhere. He’s asking for a large
contract, which the Nuggets had on
the table last year and he chose not
to take because he was unhappy
they didn’t put it there until the end.
Now, he may not make that much. If
he does not sign, they will be using a
bunch of young kids to try and fill in
the big-man positions. The youngsters’ names are just too difficult to
type out, so you can look them up.
They also will have to do without
JR Smith and Kenyon Martin, since
they are stuck in China under contract and can’t get out. They may
not bring them back, anyway. They
did pick up Andre Miller again on
draft day, so there will be some help
in the guard position. Signing some
other free agents will be important
to make them capable of keeping up
in the Western Conference. If they
don’t sign many players, we’ll know
that they’re waiting to be in on the
big class of free agents next year that
includes Dwight Howard.

And…how about them Broncos?!
Who would have thought that, after
sticking Tim Tebow in at quarterback, it would have given them
such a change in team play? Well,
I thought that—and you should
have known that if you read my last
article. The question was if Tebow
could actually throw the ball and
make good decisions. He ran the
option well in the Jets, Kansas City,
and San Diego games. Then, against
the Vikings, he brought out the arm
in the second half and passed well.
I did say team play, because it’s
not just Tebow who is winning the
games. You have the running game
doing well, especially with Willis
McGahee. The defense is doing
pretty well, and Von Miller is simply
the best draft pick the Broncos have
had in the last who-knows-howmany years. He and Elvis Dumervil
are a twin set of terrors on the defensive rush.
Can the Broncos win the division?
It sure looks like it, since they are
coming up against some teams that
are really running on empty because
of injury. The New England Patriots
are the only ones who look like they
may challenge the Broncos in the
last few games. We will just have
to wait and see—and it should be
fun!
It is time to pull out the recliner,
set up the snacks, turn on the tube,
and get some cold drinks, because
it looks like it’s going to be a great
December to watch sports. Please
don’t tell the wife—it will ruin my
evenings. Thanks.

...Neither Rain nor Sleet nor Dark of Brew
By Lyle Stout
It’s
always
interesting
to
see a product or
service that has
been
around
for generations
finally
blink
out and disappear for all time. At
times, it catches us by surprise,
like the time my Chevron gas card
became useless when Chevron
sold all the gas stations it owned in
Colorado. Other times, we watch
for years as the slow decay of a
product or service makes it obvious
the inevitable day will arrive. Most
times, you can see it coming and
watch as it dies, but unless it’s like
Radio Shack and can reinvent itself
moments before driving off the
cliff, the business usually keeps on
doing the very things that made it
obsolete.
In business, the trend of the last
few years is to use fax machines
and the Internet to send purchase
orders, invoices, and statements.
In my opinion, this came about
because of the US Post Office
constantly increasing stamp prices.
As stamp prices increased, more
businesses moved away from
regular mail, and, as the volume
dropped and the postal service lost
more money, its solution was to
raise postage costs even more. This
became a repeating cycle and has
brought the price of a stamp to 44
cents, soon to increase to 46 cents,
then to 48 cents, then to $1.50.
Many national companies now use
a combination of fax machines and
the Internet for billing transactions
and do not use the mail at all.
I’ll never forget a time when
a mailman who used to deliver
Bollan’s Beefs
The other day
I was listening
to one of those
totally insane
right-wing radio
whack-jobs going on about the
notorious Obama “birther” issue.
As I listened, it struck me that
people hear what they want and
believe what they want, no matter how far from truth it is. With
that in mind, I set out to see if I
could smear the “good names” of
current Republican front-runners
without once telling the truth or
even attempting to do so.
that, without the post office, the
townspeople would have no place
to congregate, and the town would
lose its identity.
If you evaluate the situation, it
probably takes at least three people
at a minimum to run each tiny post
office. According to Newsweek,
the average postal worker makes
$83,000 in wages and benefits; so
a tiny post office, to give a town
a “place to congregate,” would
cost almost a quarter of a million
dollars in wages and benefits alone.
Add the cost of a building and
utilities, and the US Postal Service
is probably spending over $400,000
per year to give the citizens of
Podunk a sense of identity.
What if we take a quarter of the
money spent for a post office in
every tiny nonexistent burg like
Powderhorn CO on the road from
Gunnison to Lake City, and use
it to buy a building and put in a
Starbucks. The government could
pay the waitresses the going $3.40
per hour plus tips, or whatever
waitresses make now—and, tell
me, that in a tiny town you couldn’t
hire a manager for less than a third
of the $83,000 an average USPS
worker makes. You could put in a
stamp machine like the one most
post offices have, and a big blue
box to drop off mail, and just have
a mail truck stop once or twice a
week to see if any mail were going
out. Then, when the grannies from
Podunk or Powderhorn or Redcliff
need a place to congregate, they
can spend their money to buy a
cup of latte, and the taxpayers can
save a quarter of a million dollars
each year in every tiny dust mote
in America.
There would have to be
restrictions, however. The Postal
Union could not unionize Starbucks
waitresses or the manager. If they
did, only veterans would be able to
be waitresses, and the wage would
go to $39.66 per hour. The wait for a
cup of coffee would triple, and the
price of coffee would have to rise
to $11 per cup to support the wages
and benefits. If people refused to
pay the $11 and the coffee sales
decreased, they would have no
choice but to raise it to $12.50 to
bring their profit back up.

victims know for sure—if claims
that he sexually harassed scores
of female employees are true. He
would never admit it.
“Poo!” to all those Americans
who believe that the key words in
“Newt Gingrich” are “Newt” and
“Grinch.” In the first case, Newt is
not a newt. Those who think of him
as some sort of lizard/fish-type of
thing are just not being fair. His
mother did love him, despite evidence to the contrary. His father
was not gender-confused as some of
Gingrich’s gay relatives have almost
certainly claimed. And “Newt” was
not the result of his parents “running out of good names after 13
children,” as some have probably
argued. It is more realistic to believe
that “Newt” rhymes with “cute.”
It’s as simple as that.
Now, Newt’s affiliation with
“Grinch” is far less tenuous. It is in
the role of Grinch that Newt earned
his notoriety in 1992. Cheap, selfish, and hating Cindy Lou Who-these are “the Grinch’s” claim to
fame. And there is absolutely no
evidence that his heart has grown
three sizes larger in the intervening two decades. The “Grinch” is
still cheap, selfish, and hates Cindy
Lou Who.
And there is Ron Paul. Evidence
is threadbare that Paul is a neoNazi. There are people who say that
he has enough racist and intolerant remarks and writings to make
him forever unelectable. Even so,
he was not a co-conspirator with
Tim McVeigh in the Oklahoma City
bombing, despite his affiliation with
the extreme right-wing John Birch
Society that so influenced McVeigh.
His libertarianism is not just a cover
for a pathologically self-centered
person with bizarre, off-putting
psychology. Many almost normal
people (Paul?) consider whack-job
author Ayn Rand their spiritual
guide.
Now, people could say that Paul’s
anti-government rap completely
conflicts with his lifetime spent
as a politician. And then there is
Paul’s argument about the Gold
Standard. Any 20th Century person
with knowledge of history can only
say one thing to this whole Gold
Standard matter, “Ha. Okay! It was
dumb then, dumber now. Wrong
century, Ron!”
Finally, Rick Perry. Some call him,
“Hairy Perry,” but most who have
done so lack the essential quality
of character called “existence.” You
have to admit that his young, poofy
hair contrasts sharply and unflatteringly with his old, chiseled face.
Can such a confused man make the
hard decisions that have to be made
as president? I wonder. And what
was his deal with “The Response,”
which many say was just a way to
use God to call conservative evangelical attention to Perry’s power
obsession. Is that right? I think
America knows the answer and will
not vote for such a twisted fellow.
So, once again, the GOP has
delivered a herd of morons. The
last Republican we elected, George
Bush, was the worst president in
history. He left us with a broken
economy and two dumb wars. But
the Republican Party keeps on keepin’ on, distributing goofy gas to
the voters, and doing damage to
America. Makes sense to me.

The reported problems between
Mitt Romney and Herman Cain are
nothing but political gamesmanship. While it is true that Romney’s
Mormon faith claims that God
cursed Cain and all his progeny
with black skin because Cain killed
his brother many years ago, it is not
true that Cain or Romney have made
much of it. In fact, some would say
that neither of them is really that
concerned about the affair, given
that Mormon leadership granted
Cain special dispensation so that
he and his male children could hold

curse slowed Cain’s ability to succeed in business, but he overcame
the curse and succeeded in pizza.
Cain’s business success is his

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the
gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is
the equal sharing of misery..”
-- Winston Churchill
These are possibly the 5 best
sentences you’ll ever read:
Unfortunately, most voters don’t
know this.
1. You cannot legislate the poor
into prosperity, by legislating the
wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person
must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give
to anybody anything that the government does not first take from
somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by
dividing it
5. When half of the people get the
idea that they do not have to work
because the other half is going to
want our money, accept our rules.
Before you say that this would
be “demeaning” and ruin “self
esteem,” consider that it wasn’t that
long ago that taking someone else’s
money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered
self esteem.
If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes, we should at
least attempt to make them learn
from their bad choices. The current
system rewards people for continuing to make bad choices.
Oh, and while you are on government subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct.
For you to vote would be a conflict
of interest. You will voluntarily
remove yourself from voting while
you are receiving a government
welfare check. If you want to vote,
get a job.

take care of them; and when the
other half gets the idea that it does
no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they
work for, that is the beginning of
the end of any nation.
Ineptocracy (in-ept-o-cra-cy)-a
system of government where the
least capable to lead are elected
by the least capable of producing,
and where the members of society
least likely to sustain themselves
or to succeed are rewarded with
goods and services paid for by the
confiscated wealth of a diminishing
number of producers.
These solutions are just common sense in the opinion of this
21-year-old woman:.
This was in the Waco Tribune
Herald, Waco , TX Nov 18, 2010... Dear Sean,
Today I was incensed at the
conclusion of a traditional
Serbian-Orthodox funeral for my
beloved 85-year-old uncle, Daniel
Martich, who proudly served in
the US Army during the Korean
conflict. During the committal
service at a Pittsburgh cemetery
the local military detachment
performed their ritual, then folded
and presented the American Flag
to my aunt.
As I’m sure you have witnessed
during military funerals, a soldier
bends to one knee and recites a
scripted message to a surviving
relative that begins
‘On behalf of the President of
the United States and a grateful
nation, I wish to present you
with this flag in appreciation for
your husband’s service ...’
However, today the dialogue
was ‘On behalf of the Secretary of
Defense and a grateful nation...’
After the service, I approached
the soldier who presented the flag
to my aunt to inquire about the
change in language. His response
was: “The White House notified
all military funeral service
detachments
to immediately
remove ‘the President’ and insert
‘the Secretary of Defense’.
I couldn’t believe what I heard
and the soldier just smiled and
said, “You can draw your own
conclusion, Sir, but that was the
order”. He, too, was ashamed of
what he was required to say.
Obama has taken off the gloves.
My only response to this endless
cesspool of
anti- American
rhetoric dripping from his mouth
is to borrow a phrase “ with one
minor change” uttered by another
temporary Washington resident
living in government housing
(his wife!): “Today for the first time
in my adult life, I am ashamed of
the current U.S. President!”
I did not serve in the military
but my love of country parallels
that of people like my late uncle
who bled red, white and blue.
As a second generation Serbian-
The Yellow Light
The light turned yellow, just in
front of him. He did the right thing,
stopping at the crosswalk, even
though he could have beaten the
red light by accelerating through
the intersection.
The tailgating woman was
furious and honked her horn,
screaming in frustration, as she
missed her chance to get through
the intersection, dropping her cell
phone and makeup.
As she was still in mid-rant, she
heard a tap on her window and
looked up into the face of a very
serious police officer. The officer
ordered her to exit her car with her
hands up.
He took her to the police
station, where she was searched,
fingerprinted, photographed, and
placed in a holding cell.
After a couple of hours, a
policeman approached the cell and
opened the door. The woman was
escorted back to the booking desk,
where the arresting officer was
waiting with her personal effects.
He said, ‘’I’m very sorry for
this mistake. You see, I pulled up
behind your car while you were
blowing your horn, flipping off the
guy in front of you and cussing a
blue streak at him. I noticed the
‘What Would Jesus Do’ bumper
sticker, the ‘Choose Life’ license
plate holder, the ‘Follow Me to
Sunday-School’ bumper sticker,
and the chrome-plated Christian
fish emblem on the trunk, so,
naturally, I assumed you had
stolen the car.’’
COMPLETELY FINISHED
No English dictionary has been
able to explain the difference
between the two words ‘complete’
and ‘finished’ in a way that’s so
easy to understand:
Some people say there is no
difference between COMPLETE
& FINISHED but, there is
an explanation, as told by a
Newfoundlander!!!!!!
When you marry the right one,
you are COMPLETE....
And when you marry the wrong
one, you are FINISHED.....
And when the right one catches
you with the wrong one, you are
...
COMPLETELY FINISHED !!!
End of story
The English language has some
wonderfully
anthropomorphic
collective nouns for the various
groups of animals. We are all
familiar with a
Herd of cows,
a Flock of chickens,
a School of fish
and a Gaggle of geese.
However, less widely known is:
a Pride of lions,
a Murder of crows
(as well as their cousins the
rooks and ravens),
an Exaltation of doves
and, presumably because they
look so wise:
a Parliament of owls.
Now consider a group of
Baboons. They are the loudest,
most dangerous, most obnoxious,
most viciously aggressive and least
intelligent of all primates. And
what is the proper collective noun
for a group of baboons?
Believe it or not ……. a
Congress!
A CONGRESS OF BABOONS!
I guess that pretty much
explains the things that come out
of Washington !
You just cant make this stuff up.

The first thing I’d do is to get women Norplant birth control implants
or tubal ligations. Then, we’ll test
recipients for drugs, alcohol, and
nicotine and document all tattoos

or get tats and piercings, then get
a job.
Put me in charge of government

repair. Your “home” will be subject
to inspections any time, and possessions will be inventoried. If you
want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then
get a job and your own place.
In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each
week or you will report to a “government” job. It may be cleaning
the roadways of trash, painting and
repairing public housing, whatever
we find for you. We will sell your
22-inch rims and low-profile tires
and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the
“common good.”

Hooray for Florida!
From Theda Becker
Great going, Florida. You set the
stage for the other 49 states to copy!
Kudos to Republican Governor
Rick Scott for having the correctness and guts to move forward on
this critical issue!
I-95 North will be jammed for
the next month or so with druggies and deadbeats heading north
out of Florida.
Florida is the first state to require
drug testing for people before they
can receive welfare! In signing the
new law, Republican Gov. Rick
Scott said, “If Floridians want welfare, they better make sure they are
drug-free.”
Applicants who test positive for
illicit substances won’t be eligible
for funds for a year—or until they
undergo treatment. Those who
fail the test a second time will be
banned from receiving funds for
three years!
Naturally, a few people are crying that this is unconstitutional.
How is this unconstitutional?
It’s completely legal that every
other worker must pass drug tests
in order to get a J-O-B, which supports those on welfare!
Let’s give Welfare back to the
ones who really NEED it, not those
who WON’T get a JOB….
