WKRLEM: Old White Guys are the only reason this country is standing...once we go you are stuck with these hipster douchenozzles!




As you might have read protesters of the Dakota Access Pipeline have taken to blocking entrance to banks who are financing this project. These smug hipster social justice warriors are blocking people from getting to work. Just look at this smug motherfucker and the screeching whores screaming shame when the old white guy fights his way through to go to work. There is even a suspiciously "ethnic" voice trying to interview the guy and shouting that it was unbelievable that he forced his way through to work. Scumbags. Worthless hipster scumbags.

Where were the cops? How do they let these worthless scumbags block people from going to work? Where is the tear gas? The rubber bullets? The truncheons? The dogs and the water hoses. These assholes want to be heroes lets give them a taste of the whip.

Dakota hogback

Red Rocks natural amphitheater. Later, I'll take my camera up there. A person that I know redesigned the whole place. He was head architect for the project. I was against messing with it. They could only hurt what I love about it. 

How wrong I was. 

Personally very nice but politically the architect is an annoying and simplistic partisan hack. Utterly unreasonable sanctimonious and uncompromising. And he cannot take a compliment with ease. This goes to show, it proves actually, people are top conservatives in the thing that they know and liberal with things that they do not understand, like other people's money. The guy really knows architecture. He completely redid the whole place and it looks like nothing happened. Scooped out underneath the entire thing and build a world down there. An interesting and beautiful and engaging world. It's perfect. I could cry. He read my emotion and had to cut it off. He couldn't take the full compliment. On everything else that I see, he's a dumbass.

The original thing that I loved is ruined, but not because of the re-design. That turned out very nice. Incredibly conservative. I'll show it later.  It had to happen. So many people. New rules. No more climbing around. The place is locked out for concerts a lot more than before and tons more rules. 



Inside the park the first rock formation you see is this, and the excitement of climbing around on them, through them, under them, begins to build. Dogs in the car get excited.


Coming closer you can park, used to, and take a path to the back of this formation. It is an upheaval of sandstone. Evidence of real dinosaurs are all over the place in here. pressed into the layers. 



This is my photo. The second Belgian behind this first formation. The back is more interesting and more fun than the front. Smaller than most female Belgians. Daintier than most. A little princess, actually. She did not like climbing the rocks. This is as far as she'd go.


The main slab seen from the front is eaten away at the top in the back forming a rim, a kind of weak roof and bats live under right behind where the dog is standing. A wall goes straight up quite high and intersects the red wall shown at near 45 degree angle.

Barry, my older brother could wedge his body inside the crack between the two upright slabs and use pressure applied against both walls to climb up the crack. More like a spider than crawling up. More like a wine opener that looks like a jumping jack. Bending both arms then straightening them, both legs then straightening them he'd work his way up the crack, taught me how to pull that amazing feat, and we'd all end up victoriously on top. Glorious. Except for the dog who remained on the bottom and barked its head off unable to bear the separation and unwilling to join us. On that one.


But I want to tell you what is outside the park. We'll just skirt around this formation and slip out of the park. I'll talk about that later because it's beautiful and it's fun. Maybe when I take some hummingbird feeders up there and shame them for ignoring their incredible hummingbird population up there. Certainly a draw for visitors, don't you think? Their visitor center has one feeder but it was empty when I looked. The new restaurant has the perfect situation, and I mean perfect, but they choose not to care.
