This week’s article (Click HERE) focuses on the shortage of corrections officers in the State of Texas (although this issue is one that is effecting all States as well as the US Federal Bureau of Prisons). Wisconsin is also dealing with this issue (see May 2018 article by clicking HERE). The WI article is interesting […]
This week’s is a podcast about a prison that I didn’t even know existed. It’s in Washington State and is currently open only for sexual predators. Check out the podcast (it’s only 24 minutes) and is pretty fascinating. Just post something you found interesting about the podcast.
This week’s article is a doozy: a 12-year old boy allegedly shot and killed a 24-year old man as he sat in his own home. Allegedly the boy was seen running from the home in all black clothing, including a black bandanna covering his face. Check out the story HERE . Texas penal law prohibits […]
My spring 2019 blog posts will begin this Sunday (1/27) between 8-10 pm. Check back then…
Today is Friday so Alex and I have 7 days remaining before we head back home. Today it was raining when I woke, which is abnormal for GL. The clouds are really low and hide the mountain tops, which make for a somewhat ominous scene. The temperature is 55 degrees so that’s nice. Made this […]

These shots are taken up by Shadowcliff, which is fairly high above GL. Yesterday a forest fire started about 2-3 miles […]
Its been a nice couple of days here in the mountains. Alex and I spent the day in Frisco, CO, which is a hub of activities (skiing, cycling, kayaking, hiking, etc.). We picked up a Gopro attachment for Alex’s bike (will hopefully post some video of her rides soon) and ate dinner at Prosit, which […]
