Publicola is back and he’s hitting on the push in Colorado for wacky fun gun control. If you care about the issue (and you should), you need to be visiting his site and reading his words.
PS- Another local blogger whose watching the craziness is Billlllll. Check it out.
Okay, it’s getting a little scary out there. Not for me; I’m in a place pretty safe from wildfires. But the fires near Boulder and Colorado Springs are scary. Thousands have been evacuated and the weather is doing us no favors.
It’s hot, it’s dry, and we’ve seen gusting winds up to 65mph in some areas. Hundreds of homes have been lost and it looks like the situation is going to get worse before the firefighters will manage to get the fires under control. As I write this, I’m hearing that the Air Force Academy is being evacuated and the TV is showing fire getting uncomfortably close to the academy football field.
There are going to be a lot of families needing the generosity of the rest of us. Here are some organizations that will be needing donations and support.
Salvation Army and Red Cross are both providing a tremendous amount of support.
The Larimer Humane Society is working to rescue animals and reunite them with their owners.
HelpColoradoNow.org has lists of things that are needed by a number of agencies and organizations. That is where I will be focusing my giving.
