Golden, CO is the home of many historic things - and there are some truly iconic events....biking up Lookout Mountain with all its switchbacks and Buffalo Bill's gravesite...and its celebration of National Golden Retriever Day. HUNDREDS of Golden Retrievers and their owners fill the street under the Howdy Folks! sign each year. I was flying back in to DIA at the time of the Golden Gathering, so I could only capture it on the local news. It was a great Golden fest!

Bicycle Colorado is a statewide advocacy and education group with something like 10,000 members. Each year, they put on a summit, now called Moving People Forward. One of the aha moments in yesterday's summit was a list of the hidden environmental impacts of driving: the top of the iceberg (melting) is vehicle emissions. What's "underwater" is: pavement and concrete production, urban heat island effects, impervious surface runoff, particulate matter from tires and brakes, vehicle manufacturing, loss of natural land due to sprawl, and parking construction and maintenance. And we can't rely on electric vehicles alone to solve this. Good news is ergs are self-powered!!

Throughout the year, the Winter Park bronze moose is "decorated" to reflect current holidays and/or events. Many of the Olympic athletes representing the USA are from Colorado, and the Olympic Moose is staged in alpine gear. Fun stuff!

Denver's snowiest months are generally March and April, and there have been some truly EPIC snowfalls (blizzards) during previous years. February is seemingly playing catchup in the rankings! Flying out of Denver late yesterday afternoon was a bit dicey. The longer we sat in line for deicing, the heavier the snowfall became. Very colorful stuff this deicer...first spray was orange, and then it was green. I wondered if those colors were used to better show where the application had hit or missed? Curiosity beat out anxiety. And now I know that the orange application is for fluids that are intended to melt ice, be short acting, and flow easily off the plane. The green is to be longer lasting and more protective against the icing up. The colorants identify the type of application, and show where it's going (or not going) on the plane. There's a lot more to it, and the FAA has lots of chapter and verse on it.
