If “hey siri what’s the high temperature today” is “the high temperature in Lafayette is going to be 72” one more time, I’m gunna lose it… mix of emotions because the days are lovely, but I’m kind of hot and bothered.

Not a normal post for me, but wanted to call out King Soopers/Kroger for this business model; it really irks me. This cheese has always been $2.99. This "price drop" is on a price higher than I've ever seen. Food is going up in cost, sure, but company is taking advantage of marketing. Be advised.

Thankful to have CBS evening weather live from our Lafayette community showing off our great people and food trucks, but didn’t expect the cell of #COWeather to hang out the whole hour! Got to nerd out during the forecast and storms have just popped off all evening. Amazing and so very CO summer.

Nice! Love it when a storm overproduces. Or rather, it sure seemed like a surprise to me. The grape hail I could have done without, but luckily it was very sparse and short lived.
