From My Window… Skiing requires money tree; museum impresses; sports return
I just looked out my window and you know what I didn’t see? Not in any direction did I see a single tree with money growing from the branches. I didn’t notice any bills hanging from the trees during the summer, either. But someone must know where they are.
Guest Opinion: Fact that Colorado River water reached Gulf of Mexico a good sign
RBC I It’s been nine months since a coalition of scientists, water managers and lawmakers from the U.S. and Mexico opened the Morelos Dam at the Arizona border, releasing a massive, one-time pulse into the parched Colorado River Delta.
Another View: Oil boom hasn’t busted, but our falling oil prices can’t be ignored
RBC I It was just last month that I asked, in this magazine (High Country News), whether falling oil prices would kill the shale revolution. At the time, a “low” price for oil was $80 per barrel, which was more than 30 percent lower than the summer high.
From My Window: Overall, 2014 was a good year; white new year likely; go Broncos!
As I write this on Sunday evening, the snow is coming down quite heavily, the Denver Broncos have just locked up a first-round bye in the National Football League playoffs by thumping the Oakland Raiders (always a good thing) for the second time this year, and there isn’t a soul[Read More…]
Guest Editorial: Opinions differ widely on the future of natural gas in country

Teaching children to remember the needy during holiday season
RBC I Knowing when to talk to your children about serious problems they may face sooner rather than later can be difficult for parents.
From My Window… Dad a good shot with gift; newspaper deadlines change
Out my window as I write this, it really is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. The cool temperatures, the lights on people’s homes and businesses and along the streets as well as people seeing their breath when exhaling in early morning are signs that Christmas is getting close.
Letter to the Editor: Investigating Benghazi an expensive vote
Dear Editor: “GOP-led panel largely debunks Benghazi claims: Report backs U.S. response, finds no cover-up by White House.” This was front-page news in the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel two Sundays ago.
