There have already been meetings in Edgewater and Littleton. There next meeting is starting right now in Conifer. Two additional meetings are planned for Arvada and Lakewood. A light dinner is provided at all meetings. I am hoping that people bring up substantial issues, like transit and housing at these meetings. I am also hoping that we can discuss how our tax dollars subsidize unhealthy living.

Southern Colorado and Western Slope Tours are scheduled for August and September, respectively.
On the one hand, I actually heard about the committee meetings this year. On the other, I heard about it from organizations that very much defend corporate interests above those of small businesses and ordinary citizens. One in particular is very white. I may go to the meeting in Greeley to see if everyone is white.

Travel Poem
I love to travel anywhere
Feel the breezes through my hair
Destinations many such
Memories in mind so much.
Railway children travel far
Before we ever owned a car
On buses trains and boats were we
Intrepid little family.
Put our bikes on boats and planes
And of course our lovely trains
Met a lot of life out there
Because we could and did and dare
