Hi everyone. About me:

• I work for The Gazette in Colorado Springs.
• Love hiking, skiing, photography, dogs and the outdoors.
• I’m sick of the drama on other social sites, so I’m giving this a try.

Any of this sound like you? Let’s connect!

The “No Kings” demonstration in Colorado Springs today.

From what I saw, people lined the side of Nevada Avenue from the Pioneers Museum to Cache La Poudre Street — a distance of close to 12 city blocks.

This video covers about 2 or 3 blocks.

Never seen anything like this here.

NEW TODAY: President Trump hates the portrait of him that was display in Colorado’s state capitol and blamed Democrats for it (even though they had nothing to do with it).

Nearly one third of the employees at VA health care facilities in the U.S. are veterans.

Now many of them, victims of the government’s mass layoffs, are out of a job.

We talked to a few of them. It’s on the Gazette’s front page today:
