Re: Godless III - Completing The Trinity
It’s not about faith, it’s a political play. I will say this, when I saw the ad live, I automatically looked for overt bigotry and was pleasantly surprised to see them including folks that are more obvious targets of Christian hate - minorities, immigrants, drug users, queers, etc. It was only afte...

Re: Swamp Travel Guide
One RMNP note is that the West side of the park (from Grand Lake to the top of Trail Ridge Road) imo is better than the East side. There are about 1/10 the visitors so it's much much quieter, and it's the only place I've ever been to where I've never *not* seen at least a couple moose (we've been u...

Re: Random Politics

Good luck, Dave.
I'll echo what others have said - filing Chapter 11 doesn't necessarily have to be the end of the company. It basically lets the company shave debt and carry the business forward, either under the same owners or new ones.
