About Town with LaVern Johnson, April 12, 2012
THE TOWN ELECTIONThanks to all for your vote for me as a Town Trustee. I will do my best. In trying to analyze why I, LaVern M. Johnson, got elected when I was against medical marijuana (for the ban) and those for it (against the ban) were defeated, and from the talk about town on the confusing vote (you had to vote “yes” if you meant “no”) I have concluded that we may have been “hoodwinked.”

Ask the Handy Woman!
with Kheli Mason, The Handy Woman LLC
Procrastination seems to be one of those human characteristics that some of us have perfected more than others. I would count myself among the more “advanced” practitioners of the “art” (as Lora and Joseph can attest, as they wait for me to submit my column each month!).

Entertaining The Kids In Metro Denver
The unseasonably warm weather this March fooled Coloradoans into thinking spring is actually here. However, I’ve experienced Colorado snowstorms in May. My Texas brother swears it snowed one Fourth of July when he visited Denver and we attended a fireworks show. I remember it was cold; my pictures prove that I loaned his wife a heavy coat.

Spring is the Perfect Time for Colorado Lamb

Colorado is well-known around the world for its high quality lamb. Colorado is ranked third in the nation for sheep and lamb production with 370,000 head valued at more than $60 million.

Mobile Devices
Lee: Have you noticed that technology sales people will only describe where a device or plan works well. Wouldn’t you love it if sales people said things like “this device really sucks at XYZ”? It would be much more helpful.
Bob: That’s why we’re here. This is an inverse sales pitch regarding mobile devices and plans. The key word of the column is “sucks”.

Ah, some rain and snow this morning to cut down on the wildfire danger and make the flowers bloom and grass grow. It is hard to believe the weather can change so fast, but that is Colorado! And just in time for Easter! Yes, it usually is snowy during the Easter Egg Hunt, but maybe it will clear up before then. Happy Easter, to all!

Last week was the first day of spring, March 21, a nice day, flowers and trees are blooming. The Garden Club’s daffodils are blooming, a pretty site. Now we need some rain; a nice wet snow would do. We are never satisfied.Login to read more: About Town with LaVern Johnson, March 29, 2012
