Home on the New York Times
Huh. The still image advertising the video on the NYT front page, which is nothing more than a winter scene of highway along a river valley, is an all too familiar scene. It’s home. Not just Colorado, but the part of Colorado I’m from. I don’t care so much about a story on “Colorado’s Unpredictable Voters” (<– link to the video) because I don’t really see what the big deal is about people who don’t vote party line. I mean, that’s unusual? (But then, maybe it doesn’t seem unusual to me because I’m one of them unpredictable voters from Colorado.) I watched it see home. I know those mountains and I know that hot springs pool. (I worked there.) It was this region of Colorado (the Glenwood Canyon which is home to Hanging Lake) that inspired Cyrus Osborn to develop the vista-dome train car so that passengers could get a full view of the beauty around them. A train ride from Denver to Glenwood Springs (or Grand Junction) is well worth it. [The picture was taken June 2007, as we drove westward through Glenwood Canyon.]
