Lincoln Street: Complete closure between 13th Avenue and Colfax Avenue

I gotta say, Walker looks better with the beard.
And he looks so much more at ease. Candidate Stapleton was not a good look for him. It has got to suck to have people telling you what to do to appear more "likable."
So much pride
Anyone want to speculate why Polis is the 43rd Governor of the Centennial State and Trump is the 45th person (actually, 44th*) serving as President of the 100 years older United States of America?
* Grover Cleveland is counted twice as our 22nd and 24th president
Rapid turnover — we used to have 2 year terms for our governors
I can't keep track of the knucklehead radio people on the Denver airwaves.
But the theme today was homesexuality doesn't matter
1992: Amendment 2
2018: Governor Polis
Yeah- irrelevant.
And she would move to Idaho if we get even a hint of socialized Medicine in Colorado.
Buh-bye
5.6 million people –
5.1mm insured.
Of the 5.1 mm insured
1.4mm Medicaid
750000 Medicare
250000 Tricare
So approx half of Colorado insured have socialized medicine.
I'm not going to count the VA or access to military facilities – too much overlap with the insurances above.
But I guess she's going to move to Idaho now. I bet not.
