Every time you think of the Grand Valley and grumble because we don’t have something you want, just think of what happened in the last 24 hours.  We may not have an amenity or two that you want, but we don’t have traffic.  Not really.  Our idea of bad traffic is that the person in front of you is not driving fast enough.  Look to the front range and see what real traffic is.

We don’t have other things they have in Denver.  Like, bomb cyclones.  Nope, while the rest of the state is digging out and trying to put the pieces back together after the massive storm, we have a little mud.  When there were places that did not have the ability to get out, Craig we are looking at you.  We have a little bit of mud.

Yes, we are missing a few things in the Grand Valley, but I have not heard of any ranchers losing their livestock over here or any of us driving off an icy road because the wind was blowing so hard that semis were being dumped.

Be grateful for where we are today.
