MISS: To the traffic mess created by the construction of the roundabouts next to the Interstate 70 interchange in Edwards. It will pass, but it's a tough time for businesses in the area and for the taste of big-city traffic congestion.
HIT: To Vail Resorts continuing to invest in the ski mountains through boom times and bust.
HIT: To a change of season, even if the summer season could have been better businesswise. This will come, however. Meantime, time for a deep breath, maybe relax a bit and enjoy the prettiest time of year while the aspens blaze later this month. Then, soon enough, busy winter will arrive, hopefully with good snow for the ski hills a little sooner this year.
HIT: To all the events closing out summer this weekend — Jazz Party, The Connoisseurs Trail of galleries and wines and fine food, Oktoberfest, Gourmet on Gore and the Vail Rotary Duck Race, among them.
HIT: To The Bookworm and nine local authors the Edwards bookstore hosted Friday night. In the era of digital this and i-that, it's nice to celebrate the humble books and the storytellers who write them. After all, the cool devices aren't “content generators” of themselves. Never mind writers.
MISS: To more evidence the GOP candidate for governor, Dan Maes, really is a loony tunes whose issues go far beyond equating bicycles in Denver with nefarious United Nations plots to make socialists of us all and the evil media controlled by ... socialists, no doubt. When Tom Tancredo is the level-headed voice of reason, you know it's a funny year.
HIT: To July's real estate business running up over last year. Hey, it's something. Better up than not. More is looking brighter than we might realize.
