5:05p: Yet another Flash Flood Warning for the Aspen Acres burn scar. 4th-straight day with one there. Avoid the area. Looks like it's mostly over the central and southern part of the scar, after the north side of it saw the majority of the rain earlier this week. #COwx
14 years ago after moving to MN I became addicted to the salted caramel nut goodie. I gave them up for Lent & wrote Pearson's a letter explaining the reduction in sales was only temporary. They sent me case of everything they make, I gave them away to the kids at Judson on Easter morning.

Welp not thrilled to see Denver and much of the I-25 corridor moved back into "extreme" drought conditions (2nd-highest drought category) after our dry start to July. Some drought improvement in SW Colorado due to recent monsoon rains, though. #COwx
Extremely interesting development in Ukraine - FP-2 can now carry a 200 kg warhead for up to 370 km. Basically extremely cheap guided bomb.
