This Sunday please tune in to 60 Minutes for a story featuring my new book, The Storm on Our Shores. CBS flew us on the trip of a lifetime to camp on Attu, the uninhabited and westernmost isle of the Aleutian chain of Alaska, where much of the book takes place. #ww2#WWII
Steal one book and it's shoplifting.
Steal 180,000 and it's a Silicon Valley business.
Thanks, @TheAtlantic and @_alexreisner for your work uncovering this.

beautifully crafted and a poignant reminder that the enemy in war may be another man who also loves his family, wants to be with his children. It is a sometimes tragic story of conflict that leads to redemption and healing, even understanding. #HighlyRecommended
The latest entry on #RicksReadingList is the remarkable
@MarkObmascik book called “The Storm On Our Shores.” It details two men’s battles — one American, one Japanese — during a long forgotten World War II battle on an Alaskan island. The story is well-researched, (Con’t 1 of 2)
@Conrad_Swanson How do you write an entire A section page on this without mentioning the real reason it's happening -- it gives the developer an agricultural tax break that cuts property tax tenfold.
@alex_burness Come on, man. This report juices numbers by including $175M of Denver Health spending that would be needed even if the person had a home and $217M of charity contribs. It also says there are 6,100 homeless -- just last year homeless advocates said the number was 31,000.
@StravaSupport How about making stationary indoor cycling a different category than cycling? Peloton and Zwift ain't the same as riding a bike, even though you give it equal weight in mileage totals. So many pix of Peloton instructors looking more like pole dancers than cyclists.
@Humbledore Thanks. Sachtler sold the heavy television camera tripod that I had to lug up the mountain every day when I camped on Attu with 60 Minutes.
@ryanohalloran Question for non-homer reporter: How does a team start the season with a $100K fine against the coach for not wearing a mask, then group together all QBs without a mask or social distancing? Why aren't management heads rolling?
After hearing @markobmascik read from this book at this year's (virtual) Colorado Book Awards, I ordered it from @BookBarDenver WOW. such a masterful telling of the absurdities and tragedies of war and the power of atonement. can't stop thinking about it...
@GeorgeBrauchler Can you imagine, after the Aurora theater shooting that you unsuccessfully prosecuted, someone going on Twitter and asking Coloradans if they were happy to live outside of Aurora. Shame on you, @GeorgeBrauchler. You are a leader with responsibility. Act like it.
Colorado is proud to be one of the healthiest states in the country, but despite this achievement, Coloradans face some of the highest health care costs.
