@ThatDude she got....vaccinated against....catching on fire?

@ThatDude the mandates are at the county level here in Colorado, though a coffee place I go to regularly (Englewood or Sheridan I think) had no mask sign this morning, half of the employees unmasked. Not sure if mandates changed/expired, or if someone at that store has become non compliant.

@trinsec fair enough. I always wondered why 12 Days of Christmas was a song. Ends up Christmas is a "season" on the church calendar and what we call Christmas Day is just the first day of that season every year.

@trinsec The Twelve Days of Christmas starts on 12/25, goes until January 6, when epiphany begins. Church calendar, the year starts with advent.

@Moon @Mac_CZ I'm surprised at this, though I remember driving in Denver that day.

It wasn't just a traffic accident, I think a semi truck coming down from the mountains with no breaks with a driver who chose to not take the emergency exits on the way down for trucks with breaks out... Killed four people, injured many more, causing such a disaster that it destroyed the highway itself and many people's lives.

Anyone who drives down from the mountains into Denver knows those emergency pull offs. They look intimidating, because it looks like you have to drive off the highway, uphill into a sand pit and crash into several barrels of something, which will probably total your vehicle.... to prevent killing people on the highway at the bottom of the foothills.

Also I agree that 110 years seems like a lot.

@mrman @mhjohnson I also returned to the state after Thanksgiving. Have only worn a mask in Costco since, but have been trying to spend more in Douglas and Broomfield Counties which didn't implement a face suffocator rule.
