“Time spent with cats is never wasted.” – Sigmund Freud.
 
I was driving back to the newsroom after covering a fire on Highway 15. It was late. I was tired. I smelled like a pack of Marlboros. As I approached the office, driving down Fifth Street, a nearly ran over a pair of kittens, sitting alone in the middle of the road, squalling like a couple of lost babies, which of course they were.

On Friday, we here in Jefferson County had a little thing called a Winter Weather Advisory.

God is light.  Therefore, to engage in fellowship with Him, we must walk in light and not in darkness.  As we walk in the light, we will regularly confess our sins, allowing the blood of Christ to continually cleanse us.  Two major roadblocks to hinder this walk will be falling in love with the world, and falling for the alluring lies of false teachers.  There are many false teachers out there who are attempting to draw us away from Jesus Christ and place us on the wide way where there is no light.  The narrow way is the only path where there is light to guide our steps.

Or are private entities like the railroad or gas companies surveying the land? Is the USDA, FAA or Air Force looking into land or water rights and surveying the rivers and surrounding land near Colorado and Nebraska?
Everyone has been asking questions about the drones flying in the skies at night and even during the day in the western part of the state, and now this region.

“Damned cats get me up early in the morning to let them out. If I don't, they start ripping up the furniture. But they are wonderful and beautiful animals. Cool. I know where the expression 'cool cat' comes from.” - Charles Bukowski

Dear Editor:
Making the time to eat together as a family is tough. 
Parents and guardians are competing with sports practices, musical events, and group homework projects while managing difficult work schedules, cell phones, and television. But, according to several nationally known studies, only one thing provides better results than all childhood group activities and homework; and it is fundamental: participating in regular family meals.

Seniors can see the finish line. After Christmas holiday break, it is the back-half of the school year. For these seniors, it means preparing for prom, gearing up for SAT/ACT, getting college admissions ready, starting to finalize other plans like a trade school, the military or work.

“The future ain’t what it used to be.” - Yogi Berra
 
As this turbulent year, and decade, finally fades into the sepia-toned landscape of history, never to come again, I find myself wondering, as I often do, just how all those science fiction movies could have gotten it all so wrong?
