Notes From Colorado
By Jeff Custer
By the time you read this it will be November, and out
here, the Fall will be reluctantly making way for Winter
It's like Nature flipped a switch, and all of a sudden, the trees
have turned color. We've had late seasons this year - a late,
cold, wet spring, summer heat into September, and green
leaves to the middle of October. Now, however, this is
more like it - my favorite season of the year has finally
arrived! I can drive up the canyon and see the yellows and
reds all around - 1 can see the blaze of color all over town,
and the leaves, as if reminded that they re a little behind, are
now falling in droves. Halloween will certainly seem
normal this year, if it doesn't snow again; slippery
sidewalks, and roads for drivers, although at the moment,
I'm watching big, wet snowflakes fall outside the window.
Some mother deer with not-too-big fawns have come
through the neighborhood in the last few weeks - 1 hope
they're fattening up quickly at this point. No renegade bears
yet this year, but a misguided individual in the mountains
killed a family of bears a few weeks ago, and is being
prosecuted for it. The resident Canada geese have returned to
our lake, spiders are coming indoors, and this full moon was
one of the most intense I can remember.
The World Series is on as I write - it seems that the best
teams are here after all. My Rockies played Atlanta better
than the Reds did, and wait til next year, Colorado. Which
brings me to pitching, which the Rockies need, and which
will determine the outcome of this Series, according to
conventional wisdom, and the results of the first four games.
Unless you have Brooks and Frank Robinson and Boog
Powell, remember that, Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale'.’
Oh well, when you're young, and your heroes win the
Series, you never forget it.
Hey, now we're on the information highway! Finally the
fax in the computer works, and the Internet connect software
has been installed. Look out, Gates - here it comes.
Frankly, this "net surfing" reminds me more of searching
my desk for files, or perhaps more like browsing in a
library, when you can only communicate with your fellow
browsers by leaving messages on the library bulletin board
(and standing there watching them write them), and then
going back to the stacks to browse some more. And faxing
flies in the face of what the computer age is all about - the
object is to produce less paper, not more. On the bright
side, my latest front door canvasser for the Sierra Club says,
now that the Murdochs and their ilk are gaining control of
the content of the usual media, the Internet is now the place
that the real environmental news and communication will
take place. Reminds me of what Wavy Gravy once said:
"They've got a big IBM, but we've got a thousand hippies
with Macintoshes."
Another year has gone by, and we have a lot to be
thankful for this holiday season. And be thankful that a lot
of people who were complacent last fall, will be back in the
political fray this fall and next fall. Its a pity the human
animal seems not to respond unless things get bad, and
usually has to learn the hard way from its mistakes. All we
can hope is that the damage won t be too great, and realize
that all the retirements and defections provide a tremendous
opportunity for the minority party to regain the majority,
especially in those races that were very close in 1994. It's
not a great time to be a politician, and those who truly labor
for the public good and not their own are to be admired and
supported even more now. We of the liberal persuasion may
do well to graciously realize that our old solutions to social
problems do need some revamping, and propose some
rational and humane alternatives to the Republican
demolition plan without being too righteous about it.
Happy Thanksgiving, and more later -
