A Day in the Life
By Michelle Wyckoff
Vacuuming. A despicable chore. Some people call it therapy. I can see that for some people..but not me. Real therapy to me would be having a kitchen window to look out of while I do the dishes-only those that I don’t have room for in the dishwasher, which happens quite often. I have at least two of everything just in case one might be in the dishwasher when I get the urge to use it.

Parks and Wildlife Offers Help to New Hunters
Are you new to big game hunting in Colorado? If so, chances are you’re not sure where to begin. With terms like “hunt codes” and “preference points” getting a Colorado big game hunting license may seem daunting.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife District Wildlife Managers have a plan to help decode the mystery at a big game application workshop.
"The application process may seem a little confusing, especially if it's your first time, but we'll walk you through the entire process and help you understand it," said, Steve Cooley, district wildlife manager.
