My daughter starts Kindergarten in 3 weeks. School told us 1 of 2 K teachers just quit. Eep!

It's a lovely Expeditionary Learning School in Denver. Project based learning, outdoor adventures and camping trips. A really cool job.

@MurphyWoodhouse I've also experienced the other side, working in an industry I hated. Talk about a grind!

With that perspective, I'd gladly feed the beast if that's the price of admission to my dream job reporting for public radio.

[Rae Solomon @raedear1]

@MurphyWoodhouse I think of spots as a chance to connect with listeners and build recognition.

When I can, treat them as a leading edge to future feature work. Building my own knowledge base on a topic I want to dive into more deeply down the line. Obvs doesn't always work.

[Rae Solomon @raedear1]

@hberkes Short answer... no. Talking to a bunch of growers today it seems like it'll be a banner year! But with Georgia Peach situation and the unusually cool weather we've been having on Colorado's front range, I had to worry!

[Rae Solomon @raedear1]

Anyone else experiencing Palisade Peach anxiety?

[Rae Solomon @raedear1]

@SummitLibraries Magic!

@lucasbradywoods @GovofCO Lucas! What is with these replies?!?

[Marketplace Union @mplaceunion]

We're back at the bargaining table today, one of our top priorities is ensuring that all Marketplace employees are paid a living wage.

The Sneetches.

[Rae Solomon @raedear1]

So satisfying to see a story come full circle.

I hope I get to be there too when we finally learn Pops' true identity. Do we have a triceratops on our hands? An eotriceratops? Something else entirely?

[PopsTheTriceratops @PopsTriceratops]

Since Rae Solomon, @KUNC, was here when Pops left, it was fitting she be here for its return! Thanks for sharing this great community story! (And did I really say "slap it together"? I meant repaired w/ the utmost care & surprisingly simple tools LOL). https://t.co/PFR8E2Qb8f

Pops the Triceratops' skull made its way back the Weld County Administration Building on Tuesday after an extensive two-and-a-half-year restoration. @raedear1 has the story on Pops' odyssey home, which required lots of patience, muscle, and even superglue. https://t.co/fnjwxLQlWR

@elaineagrant @danijshapiro @jermainedfowler So good. Saunders is a legend.

[Rae Solomon @raedear1]

@elaineagrant @danijshapiro @jermainedfowler Been reading too much nonfiction these days, but the memorably outstanding fiction I've read recently includes The Water Dancer (Coates) and Lincoln in the Bardo (Saunders)

So: Libraries are amazing. We have socialism for books, and it works.

@TheNomadicHeart Sometimes you just can't help yourself.

[Rae Solomon @raedear1]

In 2020 Weld County’s most famous dino fossil was whisked away for some long overdue paleontological pampering. Pops the Triceratops is now home, looking sprucer than ever. Jury's still out on whether it's a new dinosaur species.

My latest for @KUNC

Dinosaur story a-brewing!

[Rae Solomon @raedear1]

@RubinoJC Thank you! I'm glad someone said it because I've been thinking it.

Dreading. Absolutely Dreading staring down that list of candidates when I open my ballot. And no, I haven't opened it yet because I'm in active avoidance mode.

[Rae Solomon @raedear1]

Individual sheriff's wield a lot of power in Colorado.

"Sheriffs 'alone can determine if they're going to set policy as well as enforce policy,'"

Example: CO's red flag gun laws.

Excellent reporting by @TheNomadicHeart
