Colorado Shows Strain of Economy

If you live in the Denver area, you might have heard about the decision to re-carpet Denver International Airport. 75,000 yards of carpet are being ripped out and replaced... which totally makes sense since the airport has been open for... almost 13 years. Uh? And it's going to be red? Who makes these decisions? Clearly this was all necessary. I'm glad this is how my tax-payer dollars are being used. Also, it's an ironic choice of color to put in before the Democratic National Convention. Maybe no one told them that the Dems like blue?


Another interesting decision being made in the Denver area comes from Broomfield. If any of you have wandered Flatiron Crossing mall, you've probably noticed that the security guards are now motoring along on Segways instead of strolling the mall like the rest of us. Not only does this make them look ridiculous, but it's also a huge waste of money. Wouldn't it be better for the security guards to walk around to stay in better shape? What happens if they have to make an apprehension? I'm pretty sure they can't hold two people at one time...
