Here in Broomfield, Colorado, 20 miles from Denver and 7 miles from Boulder, we have the yuuuge Oracle ‘campus’, where high tech companies from around the world have their HQ’s.

 Having Rocky Mountain Regional Airport, with the Lears and Gulfstreams flying in and out, makes it convenient for the Big Boys.

Since the onset of the pandemic, (made so much worse than it had to be, by Dingus Con) many Oracle employees, including my son, have worked from home, and will continue to do so, freeing up lots of commercial office space.

Someone has been secretly buying up hundreds of thousands of sq ft of this prime real estate, located minutes from Boulder, in the heart of this high tech area.

This week we found out who the ‘mystery buyer’ actually is.

It’s a small company, led by Tim Cook, called Apple. They have joined Oracle, Google and many others who could HQ anywhere, but have decided that the Front Range, with a clear view of the Rockies, is a great place to recruit and transfer workers.

Good news, bad news, as it will mean more people, BUT, with salaries averaging over $150K, the tax base will only make life better for us all.

Welcome, Mr Cook and Apple.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
