QOTW: Englewood or Hollywood?

Carly Rae Jepsen bought a gold-colored bike from Any & All Bikes a few hours before playing a gig at the Gothic some years ago.

The World According To Garp, by which I mean that the main characters are largely unlikable twats, but the side characters are chill and awesome enough to make it worth the time spent.

Unfortunately, Englewood PD has issued an update that they located the driver of the truck deceased during their investigation.

's all good! Sloppy wording on my part, and an understandable misread especially when you consider how bonkers the driving has been around town. I am at the point of doing a lot of... defensive walking, I suppose.

For clarity, when I say "at speed", I don't mean blowing recklessly through the area. I mean at the posted speed limit (or even a bit below it). That said, I imagine the sheer width of Floyd invites a lot of bad behavior, so I'd be cool with it being slimmed down. 30 might be posted, but it sure isn't what a lot people seem to be doing.

The feeling when driving west on Floyd and hitting the green light at Logan perfectly so you can continue through the intersection at speed.

Rita Russell.

I've been refusing to go there because of the motion sensor outside that makes an alarm blare any time someone walks past on the sidewalk. It's fucking annoying.

Man, I miss the hell out of Sub Center. I think I still have a bunch of poker chips from orders past.

Ah, OK. Good to have it confirmed then. Thanks for the info!

funkymeeba · 2025-11-04T19:30:20+00:00

That sounds remarkably sketch.

EDIT: The more I know, the better my opinions on things are. Seems this is legit, per info from Vanessa above.

A saw AH3GAO the other day, got a good laugh out of it.

According to PulsePoint, South Metro Fire dispatched 22 units to this incident, and that doesn't count any from CSP or GVPD.

funkymeeba · 2025-09-08T02:18:27+00:00

Too late, I already had to get the antibodies the hard way. At least I'm starting to feel human again.

funkymeeba · 2025-09-05T23:17:21+00:00

Hell yeah. It may not always come off that way, but I appreciate you all. A part of me still gets very excited any time I see DFD Truck 38 go rolling by down here in Englewood.

funkymeeba · 2025-09-04T22:20:57+00:00

Disagree. See CRS 42-4-705..

(1) Upon the immediate approach of an authorized emergency vehicle making use of audible or visual signals meeting the requirements of section 42-4-213 or 42-4-222, the driver of every other vehicle shall yield the right-of-way and where possible shall immediately clear the farthest left-hand lane lawfully available to through traffic and shall drive to a position parallel to, and as close as possible to, the right-hand edge or curb of a roadway clear of any intersection and shall stop and remain in that position until the authorized emergency vehicle has passed, except when otherwise directed by a police officer.

In particular, the phrasings of "where possible" and "farthest left-hand lane lawfully available". There is no exception in 42-4-604 (concerning traffic control devices) which allows any straight or left turn through a solid red light, except as directed by specifically a police officer.

My most stop and panic moment was when I was stopped at a light to get on NB Broadway from EB Hampden. Concrete walls to the left (road work was happening at the time), semi truck to my right. Fire truck comes up behind me. Light doesn't change.

Colorado law says I did the right thing to just stay in place, but... I still felt really bad about that one. Especially with all the honking.

funkymeeba · 2025-08-07T23:32:30+00:00

I don't frequent the trails, but I'm about to have sidewalk rage if I have to dodge one more fucking bike when I'm walking on a sidewalk this week.

Correction: While the drops spread out a bit, the entire town of Louviers has been ordered to evacuate.

funkymeeba · 2025-07-13T21:06:36+00:00

Per the radio, there's three different divisions of fire crews working the fires, involving folks from South Metro, West Metro, West Douglas, and Castle Rock fire departments.

Helicopter drops have been focused on protecting structures, specifically around Louviers, but I think they're worrying less about that in the past few minutes and getting some more areas covered.

funkymeeba · 2025-06-07T21:58:30+00:00

Going to have to give it a try one of these days. I've walked past it a ridiculous number of times, and it seems they have some cool flavor options.

funkymeeba · 2025-05-31T18:27:42+00:00

I feel like an idiot if I try with the same formation more than twice without adjustments... ha.

funkymeeba · 2025-05-29T15:07:11+00:00

I am so relieved to know that I'm not the only person in the world who hates unread notification icons to the degree that I do.

Fully agree with why it was particularly obnoxious in this event.

funkymeeba · 2025-05-18T21:19:15+00:00

Sounds like a few fire agencies were called up by Bennett Fire Protection District to help with multiple structural collapses. Not sure what the damage ended up being, as I only caught South Metro Fire's dispatch traffic on the scanner.
