A viewer saying thank you… not to me

Julie just called to say thank you to the good samaritan who helped out a four-legged friend last week. Julie was driving near 13^th Avenue between Monroe Street and Garfield Street when she saw a car hit a Chihuahua .

Right away, she says, a good samaritan came to the dog’s rescue and took him/her to his vet to get treatment.

When Julie called me, the dog’s owner hadn’t been found.

Julie just wanted to say thank you to the man she watch stop and quickly get the dog help.

This isn’t something that would typically make the 10:00 news, but with all the struggles facing people today… it seems worth noting here.

I’d love to talk to the guy who helped out the dog.

Tanker truck spill

Since we were in the area, we stopped to see how clean-up efforts were going at the scene of a fuel tanker that lost its load Thursday.

Despite a stream a few feet away, no fuel got into it.

Everytime the loader hauled away more contaminated dirt to the pile, the smell of fuel grew stronger.

The dirt will likely go to a landfill, the EPA says. Clean-up on county road 77 near 285 in Park County will be done in a few days.

Two pics are from still pictures the EPA had. The fuel tanker was towed away.

I get paid for this?

Every so often in my job I have the realization "I get paid to do this." Today is one of those days. I am back in the mountains and loving it.

These are taken in South Park as we work on an investigation that you'll see in May.

Unlike earlier this week when it was cold and snowy, it is sunny and just windy.

We just stopped in this little bar in old Fairplay. I live it. Just like you'd expect, friendly people having fun.

Classroom chat

I was impressed with the UCDenver students who I talked with this week about communication.

They were interested. They wanted to know about journalism. They asked smart questions.

If these guys and girls are our future journalists, I am not worried.
