Colorado Forest Fire Has Many Victims
Having never
been in a forest fire myself, I come at this article as an outsider who has not had to endure what has to be a very difficult time for a family,
young or old. You see, I woke up today to learn that a member of my
family lost their home at the hands of the devastating fire in Black
Forest, Colorado.
It got me to thinking; What do I cherish? What would I miss? Where are my clothes? All of these basic elements of life that we take for granted. Little things like your vehicle to get to a job and, oh right, whether you still have a job to go to. I mean it has to be difficult to focus on work when you aren't exactly sure where your toothbrush is.
Colorado Wildfire May Burn Entire Town
DEL NORTE, Colo. — A massive wildfire threatened a tourist town in Colorado's southwestern mountains on Friday, forcing its roughly 400 residents to flee ahead of the fast-burning blaze fueled by hot, windy weather.
Wildland firefighters teamed up with local firefighters to try to protect South Fork, which is surrounded by the Rio Grande National Forest. State authorities said the 47-square-mile fire was a few miles southwest of town Friday night and had been advancing at a rate of about a mile an hour. Thick smoke was limiting visibility.
Fire spokeswoman Penny Bertram wouldn't speculate on the likelihood of the town burning. There's a high probability of the fire reaching the town if the fire continues to behave as it has, she said, though more than 30 fire engines were assigned to protect it.
"They're hedging their bets," Bertram said.
Dunkin' Donuts is in a Big Vat of Oil
 |
What happened to the world’s one-time largest seller of coffee and donuts? Dunkin Donuts is trying to knock the sugar off the brand. The question is – Why would they even bother?
This
week’s Dunkin' news brings us the introduction of a breakfast sandwich
between two halves of a donut. Okay, call us suckers - but do they
really think this is going to work? I mean, how exactly do they intend
to pull this combo off? Are they going to deep fry my sausage patty
before it drops in the fryer? All kidding aside, Dunkin' Donuts
is trying hard by all estimations. They were once the premier brand for
that early morning caffeine and sugar rush. Now they are more like an
outdated brand with an outdated logo and an outdated clientele.
Did George Karl Get Fools Gold with The Nuggets?
Denver Nuggets head coach George Karl was fired after being named the NBA "Coach of the Year". How in the world did that happen and what are the up to high on those Rocky Mountains?
George Karl must have thought they were kidding when he was called into Denver Nuggets owner Josh Kroenke's office a few days ago. He must have imagined a routine meeting to discuss possible off season moves. Maybe a little small talk about the great beaches abroad he would soon be visiting. Instead, the long time coach was fired by the very young billionaire with his father's money.The question today is not whether George Karl got a raw deal in being fired by the Denver Nuggets. The question is how did a coach with 26 years of experience as one of the winning-est coaches in NBA history make it this far? That's right, George Karl should never have had a job in the NBA for so long to start with. True, he is a coach with a solid resume of wins, but he never really ended up winning anything important in all those years.
