Two other nearby towns that are still open to regulars are Silverton and Ouray. At least, they were the last time I checked.
I found the best rock shop in Silverton. An old guy was selling the stuff he found himself in the nearby mountains, and his shop was part of his house on one of the back streets. He took out of town checks!
I think the thing that saves those towns is that they aren’t that easy to reach. Telluride has an airport, which is their kiss of death. Lots of biggies have “ranches” nearby – Oprah and Ralph Lauren, just to name two.

Many jails and most prisons are run by convict gangs. Look at how many prisoners per active guards you have, you have few ways to control the prisoners, especially when you have imprisoned gangsters who’ll tell you that if you mess with them they’ll hurt your family – and you know they will.
We used to find all sorts of stuff on shakedowns and the sole explanation was that the gurads had been bribed. Don’t know if you saw those infamous videos of prisoners right inside the Parish Prison waving real, loaded guns around, smoking dope and drinking booze. That’s not even mentioning how many cell phones are running around loose inside of the cells.
Nope, I had to work in the tiers during my time in the academy and that convinced me that I’d live on the street in a cardboard box before I worked in the prison.

Preparation This is a moist, buttery banana bread loaded with banana flavor.
I used pecans in this bread but walnuts could be substituted. The recipe makes 2 loaves of delicious, moist banana bread.
Ingredients
· 1 cup butter or margarine
· 2 cups sugar
· 4 eggs
· 1/4 teaspoon salt
· 2 teaspoons soda
· 4 cups flour
· 6 large bananas, very ripe, mashed
· 1 cup finely chopped pecans
Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Sift dry ingredients together; add to creamed mixture. Stir in bananas and chopped pecans.
Pour banana nut bread batter into 2 well-greased loaf pans; bake at 325° for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. This banana nut bread recipe makes 2 loaves.

This is the recipe I am using now, although I have used others in the past. I don’t like nuts in my banana bread, so I don’t add them. This is a rather dense, and quite moist, banana bread. The major difference here is the oil instead of butter, and the addition of sour cream. I imagine you could also use yogurt or buttermilk instead:
Flour’s Famous Banana Bread
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
3 1/2 bananas, very ripe, mashed
2 tablespoons creme fraiche or sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
Set oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a loaf pan with parchment paper.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Beat sugar and eggs with a whisk until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. Drizzle in oil. Add mashed bananas, creme fraiche or sour cream, and vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients and nuts. Pour into a lined loaf pan and bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Troopersand horses of this unit are outfitted in the uniforms, accoutrements and equipment of the Civil War period.

From privates to officers, these men and women recreate the colorful spectacle of the American Horse Soldier. They demonstrate their horsemanship for professional rodeos, community events, parades, school groups and official ceremonies.

My wife’s great-uncle, a buyer of wool cloth, was on a business trip to the Netherlands long ago with his wife, and one night they stayed in the mansion of a mill owner, who asked them what they would like for breakfast the next day.
Great-aunt, not wanting to put her host out, said, “Oh, just corn flakes and a banana would be fine.”
Sometime after breakfast, she was mortified to discover that her host had sent his butler on a quest to buy corn flakes and a banana, which took the butler many miles and many stores to find.
Her simple breakfast was quite exotic by Dutch standards at that time.

My hope is that Obama is so lazy and self indulgent that even though he has threatened to yammer on and on after he leaves office he is generally going to be smoking pot, golfing, looking in the mirror considering ear pinning surgery, bowing to Mecca, surfing (accidentally) gay porn, visiting indoors with men he finds physically pleasing, vacationing, and whatever time he has left over he will spend lecturing Trump until he figures out that he is the laughingstock of much of the world every time he opens his mouth.

2017!!! Yay, going to be a good year. Love the mountain theme. Reminds me of The lord of the Rings trilogy, Sauron is looking, and the band of Ringbearers are scaling the cliffs, peril ahead, yet it has to be done. Into Mordor we go.
Great recognition nest door for Sundance and all of you here that had such an impact. Truly well deserved and many thanks for all you have done, and continue to do.
Have a great day y’all!

Best thing I’ve read all day. One of the greatest blessings of my life has been having a husband who is a tough guy, as in mentally tough, as well as physically. Life hasn’t knocked him down for good yet, and it never will.
His masculinity makes me stronger, better, safer. My feminity makes him better too. Together we pretty much kick ass. I happen to like that way of living.
When tough times come, as they always danged do, it sure is nice not to have to worry about what he will do or how he will hold up. I want a man for a mate, not a lap dog.
We also raised our sons with the idea that we needed to prepare them for life’s battles, not protect them from harm, and I have to say I could never have done that on my own. It was his strength of character and resolution that made me see the cruelty in raising weak children, and that often the very best you can do for your kids is let them fail, let them hurt, and never ever stand between them and the repercussions they should face when they do something wrong.
Yeah, a lot of that I could have done with the grace of God, but not all of it with three rambunctious and strong willed young men. He knew better what it took to give them the absolute hard core baseline strength a man must have.

New study of elitists reveals how out of touch they are
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/01/new_study_of_elitists_reveals_how_outoftouch_they_are.html
In other words, there really is an elite at the very top of our income, education, and status hierarchy, and they cluster in just a few areas and cut themselves off from different people. Moreover, they tend to be children of people of higher status and education.
A hereditary class cut off from the society they rule – not exactly the Jeffersonian ideal of America. More like the European, Latin, and Asian nations from which many Americans fled. And they live exactly where you would expect (list below). Neil Munro of Breitbart summarizes:
A new study shows the college-graduate inhabitants of New York’s elite zip-codes are the most socially isolated Americans in the United States, and have the least familiarity with how ordinary Americans live.
Close behind are the parochial professionals in zip codes around Boston, Silicon Valley and Los Angeles, whose social bubbles leave them isolated from the hopes and fears of their fellow Americans[.]

Not ‘are’ but ‘are and have been’. Nouveau riche I worked with in Palm Beach, those who acquired their wealth within their memories, were far more understanding (if not accepting) of the working class’s lives. Those second generation or more removed (including their generally rotten kids) are totally divorced from non-monied reality. Makes me wonder if Pol Pot didn’t have to deal with the spoiled grandkids of Cambodian elite and that’s what set him off.
