When it comes to tourism, you work with what you’ve got… and down in the San Luis Valley, they’ve got bats. So now you can take a short hike to see 250,000 Mexican free-tailed bats swoop out of a cave near Monte Vista. Now that’s using ALL of your resources. Around here, the only place to see bats is at county meetings.

Someone asked me recently where I bought my newsletter... Well, there are companies that sell a pre-written newsletter and lots of Realtors use them. But it should be obvious that this is not one of them. For one thing, commercial newsletter publishers wouldn’t touch anything called Rumor, Gossip and Innuendo. So maybe I should clean this one up and sell it as the McNewsletter… one screed fits all.

Tons of visitors came up to Summit County over the July 4th holiday... and for about a week it looked like the old days before everyone got wiped out in the Great Recession. The main difference this year was that they all brought their own lunch and resisted spending money. The typical flood of July 4th sales never happened. Guess everyone’s still investing in gold and tobacco for trade after the apocalypse.

What do New Yorkers do for a summer vacation?... Why come to Colorado to sue each other of course. Some people go rafting or hiking, but in Aspen they fly in for some recreational law practice, lately involving the failed Snowmass Base Village renovation. Two birds with one stone… change of scenery and change of venue… brilliant!

My new interactive property display is fun to watch… kids think it’s a video game. One kid made it to Level 9 after killing off several thousand evil lender beings. He thought he’d won a free house.
