I disagree with him...

I'm not sure I agree... seems like journalists, whether you work for MSNBC or FOX, should not be contributing to political campaigns -- and certainly not ones they just interviewed.

Bridges to Nowhere

Bridges to Nowhere

Comments after our story last night (about the so-called Bridges to Nowhere) varied. I was a bit surprised by how many people said the landowner, who didn’t want to sell his ranchland for a four-lane highway, was only after money.

Many of you thought the interchange and bridges were a waste.

Plenty of people told us in our live chat that they were happy CDOT was thinking ahead and building the road before it traffic counts demanded it. An equal number were unhappy with CDOT.

Here are a couple comments…

“That was a very solid, thoughtful, fair and middle of the road (if you will excuse the pun) piece that you reported on air last night,” Thomas McNeill, the attorney for the land owner e-mailed me.

Kurt Klein wrote to me saying he didn’t care if he missed the story. He ended up watching it and seemed to agree with CDOT’s road plan.

“With the economy at an ebb, maybe now is the time for some jurisdictions to consider investing in future infrastructure.” Klein said.

Klein also seemed to indicate he doesn’t care for my reporting very much.

What an amazing story tonight. No matter what you are doing right now, it's worth watching. My colleague, Dave Delozier, did an excellent job.

I’m impressed…

I have to say how impressed I am with the great television spot my friend and colleague, Kirk Montgomery, has put together to let kids and teens know that “it gets better.”

No matter who you are, I suspect you’ve been teased or bullied. It happened to me because my family couldn’t afford the name brand Starter jacket my friends owned. It happened to me because my mom couldn’t buy me the new pair of Air Jordan shoes others had.

For some… it goes much deeper and is much more painful.

I challenge people to stand up to others. When you hear people laughing at an overweight person in the grocery line who is having trouble with his or her cart, allow the rude shoppers to see you help the person in need. When you watch kids making fun of other kids, talk to your own children about the way you hope they act.

It’s up to all of “us” to show all of “them” how to act compassionately.

I remember this day…

Three years ago my car was humming along the interstate as I headed into Denver to start my new job at 9NEWS. (You all know this is the place journalists dream of working… but that’s not the point.)

No sooner had I arrived here than it started to snow. What a welcome to Denver.

Looking at the weather today, it’s hard to believe it ever snowed this time of year. Doesn’t this picture look like (except for the leaves) it could have been taken July 20, not Oct. 20?

Looking south there’s not a cloud in the sky. I love the weather, but can’t wait for ski season either.

I guess the sun and warm weather are nice three year anniversary presents.
