    Bull rushed by two Pitt-Bulls

    Out walking with my daughter and my dog, a Golden, through my neighborhood this morning, when we were suddenly bull rushed by a pair of Pitts, coming through the fence from the house on my left... Growling and claws on pavement signaled impending doom, so I dropped the leash, swept up my...

    Waldo Update

    Hey guys, I can't help but think of our Meet and Greet and the Waldo Canyon fire in the same thoughts, and I was curious if anyone would be interested in trying to help fashion some good old OC aid to the folks in need down here in Colorado Springs. I know that the rebuild hasn't started yet...

How did this happen? How is...

    Zombie Attack. Where would you go?

    Okay guys, so in the event of a full blown Zombie attack, where would you make your retreat? I know that time of year plays into it significantly, but where would you say is the safest place to get out of dodge? I know I have my plans, but just want to see what everyone else is thinking? Let it...

    Hello Open Carry Colorado. I've been lurking in the shadows for a while here, but decided to step on out and introduce myself, being as how I see such a fine and literate bunch of folks hanging out here. I've been a Colorado Springs resident for the last ten years or so, after doing a tour in...
