I had one of these in college I'd lug around for camping, football and concert tailgates. Someone stole it at Red Rocks while I was inside rockin out. Know that I still harbor a grudge you faceless bastard.

Gimme. I want it.

Damn

The ongoing ping pong thing is a riot. My Colorado head canon imagines a thriving underground pong scene ala Fight Club, or maybe more Balls of Fury

Right now: Jimmy Eat World, 25 years of Bleed American, Red Rocks

Didn't expect a "gee, Jim, why are you single?" affirmation in the ol' inbox this morning.

Swept aside. Woof. Vegas gummed things up and had the Avs number.

Awwww man. Flava Flav is there rooting against the Avs? 🙃

Time to light the smoker. The wheel of meat landed on brisket: corned beef for pastrami and smoking some pork brisket for the first time. 🍖

Hey, hey. Gas pump auto stopped on a round number. That hardly ever happens… oh. man. uuuhhh. Imma need a drink.

Garden gnome moved into patio on its own. I’m sure this is fine. Gno omens here.

Update: PornHub's parent company has sued Utah over its updated online verification law that's trying to wrap VPNs into enforcement. (VPNs that famously tell these websites that you are not in Utah. Also, VPNs are a big non-porn privacy tool).

Oh, hello, Red Rocks

“‘What kinds of editorial businesses can only be built around a human being?’ feels like it is going to become a more and more important question.”

I’ve often wondered to myself: “am I a whole cow man?” 🤔

Do yourself a damn favor, don’t skip the carbs here and read this absolute banger 👇

Hot damn. The drawl and twang are just an absolute transformation

Stay outta suburban Salt Lake City. Teen miscreants control these mean streets.

Mmmmmmmm… slopper

This is an almost irresponsible amount of pineapple on these pizza slices

Hmmmm… disconcerting. But that’s not you, right? You can give to @kuer.org right now during our drive and not fall into the “majority.” You can be a connoisseur. kuer.allyrafundraising.com/campaigns/14...

Just as I'm getting antsy about firing up the bbq pit, the financial news tells me that beef prices hit an all-time high yesterday. Moooo, i mean, boooo.

"the prison of their mind teems with memories of free restaurant breads" is a helluva turn of phrase in a story chock-full of 'em.

That’s number 11

DENVER! Champs!

Let’s do this. Pioneers. Badgers. Let’s go Denver.

Whooooooaaaa

Oh. Double OT

Time for the main event: Denver and Michigan. Go pioneers

Best time of the year. Frozen Four. In Vegas, baby.

Uh-oh. Has anyone checked on the St. Helen of the Blessed Shroud Orphanage?

It’s been a minute since I’ve been in Iceland, but I still remember how great the everything dogs were. Mmmmmmm…

"This is the worst scenario we could have." Utah's snowpack typically peaks this week. Instead, it's around 20% of normal. My latest for @kuer.org on how a poor winter and a March heat wave combined to create unprecedented conditions ⤵️ www.kuer.org/science-envi...

“Fiona the Mayhem Missile. Sausage of Mass Destruction” is poetry.

Older cranky Jim remembers the '87 Dolph Lundgren fandango and is suspicious of the nostalgia ploy. 7-year-old Jim (who had *all* the toys) screams "I HAVE THE POWER."

I love the start of baseball season. The weather changes. I rewatch Bull Durham and Major League. I get that itch for in-shell peanuts. And all the fun baseball reporting comes out.

Adoption is expensive. That I understand. What I didn't get, until now, was the *risk.* That families can go all in on starting a family and see that investment go dramatically belly up.

Hot damn. We gotta Frozen Four. Can't wait to see that Denver/Michigan game. (graphic via NCAA)

Blargh. Go away.

The moon base agenda is back. Didn’t candidate Gingrich promise us a moon base by 2020? Also, where my damn rocket boots?

This checks out

Hot off the presses w/ the camera guy (me) just outside.

Oooooooooof.

Bald guy here. The answer is no.

Meanwhile, in my inbox... 👽

Whooooooooa

When you’re too proud to be seen in the drive-thru but too lazy to properly feed yourself

Helluva story

Utah's statewide snowpack is no longer at a record low. It had been in record low territory since late January. Levels are still well below average for this time of year (4th percentile). Snowpack across the Upper Colorado River Basin region remains record low, as seen in the second graph.
