11. Wow--just wow!

I was raised in the Denver area, and trips to Aspen were among my favorite outings. Remember Maroon Bells well, and have a photo of it on my wall, a gift from a long-time friend whose husband is an amazing photographer. I was around in the "Don't Californicate Colorado" days and began to despair at the development going on among all that gorgeous scenery. I echo the sentiment here, big time, and feel sick at the thought of fracking happening there or anywhere in my old home state.

Let us keep fighting the good fight!
