Firearms In City Buildings

I will defend our right to carry fire arms. However, I do think there are places that guns should not be allowed. The obvious, schools, day cares, courthouses, heck even the DMV and Post office. City workers do have to deal with a lot of crazies as it is. Guns + crazies is not a good combination. I can see why they don't want firearms in their work place. In this case, I think it is a personal vendetta against one man who chooses to carry a gun to city council meeting. Let's not overreact. I just thought it would be funny to ask, what if Rambo were to attend a city council meeting. Would he be allowed in?

The Big Stink In Firestone!

I love the smell of goats and chickens in the morning.

My Submission to the Washington Post's Cartoon Contest

Above is Crystal's Critters, a strip that I entered into the "America's Next Great Cartoonist" contest by the Washington Post. I didn't make the top 10, but it sure was fun doing the strip. My daughter was a big influence on characters, names and gag ideas. Be sure you check out the top 10 and vote for your favorite. http://postfun.washingtonpost.com/post/entry/americas-next-great-cartoonist-vote

Giving the Boot to RTD

So Mayor Bryan Baum thinks Longmont can do better with more control over Longmonts public transportation. First he should master city council meetings, then he can get behind the wheel of Longmont's transportation system.

Blinded By The Light...of Ticket Cameras

It could happen... right. I, for the most part am a pretty safe driver, I won't say I have not got any tickets, but I am a laid back type of driver. I don't like the idea of not being able to discuss your ticket or traffic violation with an officer before he/she gives it to you. The camera does not tell the whole story. Running a late yellow early red light could have prevented an accident in some situations. Even speeding can get you out of a jam some times. A live cop could understand the particular situation, where as a camera just shows the offense. I for one am not for the cameras. Thanks for reading.
