@ocplaindealer More like - Road and bridge superintendent tries to help the candidate who promises to bolster his budget by complaining about a commissioner advocating for county residents impacted by flood.

@mikewiggins76 Other than that, a wonderful Labor Day Rodeo! Also, I’m reasonably sure that I know who the “drunk male” was and I wasn’t even in the stands. Small town…

@ben_a_goldfarb @bioGraphic The public lands near me, a checkerboard of BLM and State lands purchased and maintained for wildlife habitat, are a maze of fences often built and maintained by taxpayer funds only to separate different sections of public lands that often kill wildlife.

The Shoshone water rights, established in 1902, are the lifeblood of the Western Slope, supporting the health of the environment, recreation, and agriculture. These senior non-consumptive water rights ensure the Colorado River sustains life from its headwaters to the state line.

@LukeRunyon Wild and totally expected

@StinaSieg I’m convinced it’s a long-game scam initiated by Big Paint companies

@colohistory For the opening of the Gunnison Tunnel.

[Cary D @CaryDenison]

@CoyoteGulch “Irrigation season”, lol. This is BS, the tunnel was diverting water to make hydro power. USBR knows it but won’t enforce LOPP regulations.

@LukeRunyon Home Depot in Montrose had some by the checkout today.

@LukeRunyon Can’t speak for the whole of the San Juans but this is the worst mosquito year I’ve ever experienced at my place.

[Cary D @CaryDenison]

@SARC8427 @ClimateBecky So “entertaining” 🙄

[Cary D @CaryDenison]

@alexanderJfunk Getting clawed by a cougar in a hot tub more believable than by a mountain lion

[Cary D @CaryDenison]

@SARC8427 @mayer_water Why should a conservancy district determine if and how a water user participated in a conservation program?

[Cary D @CaryDenison]

@HHolmGJ @KerryDonovanCO I’m fact the program DID lower the risk of trying less thirsty crops like small grains and long term cover crops while helping farmers spread water on dry years. But our politicians are running around talking about “lease and cease” which isn’t a thing! (Yes I’m very mad)

[Cary D @CaryDenison]

@KerryDonovanCO Whoa boy, indeed. The reality is we learned that farmers/ranchers can save water through deficit irrigation of grass/alfalfa and by growing low water use crops. Unfortunately, we also learned there is little political support for water conservation.
