Uncle that I haven't met yet. He was a tunnel rat. Volunteered for point and was ambushed.

Nice. That part of town is growing.
We are south, Broadmoor
Fantastic! That part of town is awesome. So close to everything. Established. Kids school just went on a field trip to the zoo. Wife and I took a foot tour of the hotel (amazing place). Gold camp road, the canyon, Bear Creek. Coming from Northshore, everything around y'all is at another level! Wouldn't mind living in that area eventually.

What part of COS do you live?
We moved out here from the North Shore 6 years ago and haven’t regretted it for a second.
Thats fantastic, glad to hear that! Seems like a pretty decent LA presence here. We moved from Abita Springs.
We're in Briargate, north of Woodmen off Rangewood and a couple of blocks from Pioneer Park. We're in a very quiet neighborhood, its been great so far!
How about y'all?

notice the total lack of people in his photos. his son may be social contact deficient more so than autistic
My boy was homebound (isolated) back in LA, receiving 30 minutes of online "education" with no prospect of reintegrating into school. His mom was getting calls weekly to come get him.
District 20 worked with him for less than a year (with other kids), didnt call my wife once for help, he's caught up academically, and he is now starting a mainstream school next year. Not to mention we're 9 minutes away from world-class care pediatric neurodevelopmental care at Childrens Hospital, and he'll be in a summer camp with DBT and riding horses and such. I'd say his trajectory has done a 180.
But does he like to recalibrate by being in isolation in nature? Absolutely. The outdoor life is a gift to any child. Glad he also has that out here, without mosquitos eating his arse up.
Had Chicken Fried Chicken at Mackenzies that was fire. Pretty damn good cheesecake too.
Saw something about penny arcade on the local news. Manitou is such a cool little place. I like Old Colorado City too. Took a tour of Broadmoor, that was neat. I like that area of the city, up by Gold Camp road and Bear Creek is super nice. Coworker told me Wimbergers, Ranch Foods Direct too. Need to check those places. I think my coworker said Wimbergers may even have boudin.
Well, maybe not the "only" thing. I miss the shrimp, man. $9 a pound for frozen "gulf" shrimp here. Miss the reds and trout too. Hoping to go fishing here soon.

How much is your house in CO? how many bedrooms and sq ft?

How far away are you from Palmer Park? It is sublime
About 13 minutes. It is nice. We drove up there before we moved here. Need to spend more time there.
Its beautiful, no doubt. We're in the northern part of the city and have a nice view of Pikes Peak. So many very nice trails even within 15 minutes. Not bad options taking a couple hour drive to the Sangres or Collegiates either. Hope to get to the San Juans and/or Crested Butte this summer for some extended camping.
Seems like a nice blend of politics here so far. TBH seems like politics is not discussed here as much. Been quite a few "protests" in front of city hall, but I only know that b/c I work downtown. Not much discussion about it. There's a sense of patriotism here given the military presence. Most people talk about hiking, camping and such. I'd imagine Denver is much worse though. Hopefully it stays up there. There's definetely a decent size homeless population downtown, but I don't live downtown so its all good.

mainly to get my autistic son more/better services.
I miss the food, fishing, family and friends. But I honestly can say I don't miss anything else so far. Both my kids, including my autistic kid, are thriving here. There's more opportunity for recreation (e.g. parks every other block), better schools, the job market seems better, groceries are actually cheaper. It seems like only housing is more expensive There's very little litter and a lot of very nice neighborhoods. Just need to go fishing now that the weather is great.
I love LA, but I don't think I'll ever move back. And for what it costs to live in St. Tammany compared to here, I can't justify making the move back anytime soon.

That was a very strange speech and crowd. Had to turn it off. Dems are in trouble and out of touch.
re: Mazda CX-5...Any of you have experience owning a Mazda?
Posted by Friedbrie on 2/21/26 at 10:44 am to doublecutter
I have a 2016 Mazda 3 hatchback with 245k miles and zero problems. Its a zippy little car with good handling too, so it's been fun to drive. Averaged about 37mpg highway. I plan on driving it until it dies. I've been thinking about a CX-5 for AWD and higher clearance for forest road driving. About to change spark plugs, fuel filter, and belts for the first time, but have always kept oil and air filters changed.

Our 2012 Forester was great until it started having engine problems. Lots of road trips, forest roads, and camping in that car. Oil consumption and fuel efficiency were not good. The 2012-2015 years were hit & miss because of engine problems. Wish I had one since me and the fam just moved to Colorado Springs. Been looking at the CX-5 AWD. I have a Mazda 3 with 2500k miles and zero problems.

Translation: "We will gain the strength to overcome this darkness." The speaker emphasizes the importance of the young generation, noting that "Communism has always spread within universities and among the youth," and thus, "resistance for freedom must be achieved through the youth." The influence of Korea's youth in rejecting falsehood and choosing truth and nature is highlighted as something that "will extend worldwide." The speaker also references the Bible, declaring, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth," and asserts that "we are not accidental beings, but a miracle created within God's will." The Bible is described not just as a book, but as "the word of truth that still changes lives today." The message continues with a critique of conservatism not being a structure of oppressors and the oppressed, but rather one that views the world based on "right and wrong, justice and injustice." The speaker argues that since not all problems can be solved by the government, "the church must take on a greater role as a stronghold and a refuge," and calls for sincere conversations and the proclamation of the gospel to ensure the young generation returns to the truth. Charlie Kirk's message to Korea is clear: "Freedom is not given for free," and "the gospel is the greatest weapon against the darkness of communism." The church and community are described as "the foundation of hope," and the youth are portrayed as "the protagonists who will carry on all causes." The speaker concludes by stating that this is the first and last message Charlie conveyed in Korea, emphasizing that "our mission in this era is clear: to protect the freedom and blessings we receive and to pass them on to future generations." The gathering ends with a call to "fight together" and a tribute to Charlie Kirk, wishing him to "rest in peace" and "rest in heaven."

For what happened yesterday and especially all the people that applaud what is an absolute heartwrenching tragedy. There is so much evil in this world right now that its shocking to the core. I worry about the future of our kids.
