Cliff Palace (2/🧵 )

About 120 people lived here permanently, but it is clear that many others came here for special events or ceremonies. See the walls that enclosed rooms (of about 150), but also surrounded 75 gathering places - courtyards and plazas.

Note the ruined opening to an upper alcove. There were nine storage rooms here used as granaries, up where it was cool and dry. Access was by wooden ladders.

More next Thursday.

The ruins of at least 7 enclosed rectangular rooms or buildings on different levels in a widely open "shelf cave" formed from geologic processes. The rock face and stone buildings are tan and golden brown. Roughly the top fourth has fallen down over time. flat areas are seen between and around the walls, on different levels. On the right, on the rock face is a mark from fire stain coming from a building just below.

There is an opening in the rock face above these buildings that is itself mostly walled off with stone walls. Inside more walls are visible. These are the places where grain was stored.

The orphan well program spent a record $10.2 million in 2023 and completed plugging on 61 wells, but recently saw a “surge” with 200 new abandoned oil and gas wells.

“We can all agree that the collective goal and the collective best outcome is when operators plug oil and gas wells at the end of their useful life,” Murphy (chair of oil&gas agency) said.

Well ... actually, the best outcome is to leave the oil in the ground ...

Same here, I have excellent sheets and I like to sleep in perfectly flat sheets so I tuck in the top sheet really well so it's not slipping around. Then when I wake up I pull that sheet tight while I'm in it, get out, straighten the thin blanket and then the duvet, tighten the sheet again and it's flat. #Colorado is dusty so keeping it tight is important!

The 1st 3min of this hilarity is everything that's wrong with sports talk. 100% disingenuous hype... All for the clicks.

Losing 42-6 to a real football team & the only reason for the 6 was it was in the final 2min of the game against Oregon walk-ons. Should've been a shut out.

Am I a hater? Especially when you call a loud mouth pretender "America's team"? HELL YEAH.

"#Wildfire #smoke has slowed or reversed air quality gains made over the last two decades in most of the U.S., new study says

Some states — #Colorado, #Montana, #NewMexico, #Washington and #Wyoming — rolled back 50 percent or more of their progress since 2000. In #Oregon and #Nevada, wildfire smoke has completely erased their gains....

a single day of unhealthy smoke — in the “red” level on the federal government’s color-coded scale — gave the hospitals he was studying in central Oregon a 41 percent chance of exceeding their capacity....

University of Montana toxicologist Christopher Migliaccio tracked residents who lived through that smoke and found they showed significant decreased lung function one and two years afterward..."

Looking out at the canyon from the other side of the gorge all you see is steep rocky wall. The bridge can be seen at the far right but from this distance only looks like a thread. A row of distant blue mountains line the horizon under a partially cloudy sky.

I wrote this on the day the ballot initiative won…

I have ethical concerns about wolf introduction in #Colorado.

We live in a secluded valley backing up to wilderness with healthy herds of domestic and wild game animals.

Wolves are an apex predator. They will flourish and multiply here.

Sadly, then we will have to start hunting and killing wolves to control their numbers.

Where are the humane ethics in that? It seems to me that Wolf Introduction is merely ‘stocking’.
