IT'S SNOWING
It's taken a little longer this year than most but today November 14th we finnaly got our first dusting of Colorado Champage Powder. Now truth be told it wasn't actually the light bright sweep off your drive way kind of snow but rather a heavy late fall wet and cold, but either way today is a good day in the rockies.
Living in Colorado offers so much. An outdoor lifestyle that would be hard to beat anywhere. When the tempature changes in Colorado you just bundle up and swith gears from the hiking, boating, biking mode to more of the skiing, snow shoeing, ice fishing mind of thinking. We must be REI's favorite state, as a matter of fact REI is located in a restored 1901 Denver Tramway building, the Denver Flagship is a complete outdoor resource, a historic landmark and an award-winning architectural accomplishment. Denverites keep them busy year round as one of the most active populations in the nation.
Living in Colorado offers home owners a wide choice of lifestyles. From the HOT Denver loft market to master planned communities that offer something to everyone to country living that is city close!

TAKE THE DAY OFF AND VOTE!
Realtors take the day off! Yes take November 4th and make it a day to serve your community. Help staff a polling station or maybe take a senior citizen to the polls, or just hang out and watch the process. Take the time to explain to your children how this all works or what this all means. Now I'm not saying if that one buyer you have been working with for the past 6 months decides to finally write that offer you tell him to wait, but for the most part take the day off. Yes that means you might have to cram your schedule or miss that round of golf next week but take the day off! It Matters!

A Mothers Joy!
Now I must admit most of the time I don't know the difference between offense & defense and I have been reprimanded more than once about cheering for the wrong team, but there's not much else that give me the joy of Fridays nights & high school football. The atmosphere is like no other sporting event. These kids give all they have to give, not for money or fame, just for the love of the game!
This year I took on a more committed role in our Quarterback Club, and with all the extra work, time involved, early mornings & late nights I've found I love this game even more. Volunteering for something that brings so much excitement to a school just makes me feel good. And face it where else can you get admission for $5, a hot dog for a buck and the thrill of the game included!

Ready or Not...Here Come the Democrates!
Friday morning a sneak preview was given to local & national news organizations. The set is a mix of patriotism and high-end technology with video screens that actually curve out over the stage. A 600-person crew has been working on the project for months and some have even been on a 20-hour a day schedule to stay on track. The DNC has brought in upwards of 300,000 pounds of lights and speakers, so much so that the ceiling had to be reinforced to hold them. 95 of the luxury suites in the Pepsi Center were stripped of their furnishing and transformed into broadcasting booths. Some had to have walls knocked down and carpeting covered with hardboard sheeting.
This is a wonderful opportunity for the city of Denver to showcase the beautiful Mile High City and have rolled out the red carpet in anticipation of the thousands of people attending the convention.
City officials have also prepared for protesters with riot control training and a temporary jail site that can house several detainees. Video
As we get closer to Mondays kick-off, preperations are at a fever pitch and with the added job of moving the DNC to Invesco Field for Thursdays acceptance speech by Senator Obama, this guarantees to be a fun week in the Mile High City!

Town Center @ The Meadows
After many false starts the dirt is now moving at the Town Center of the Meadows @ Castle Rock. The final plan calls for a wonderful mix of new retail, luxury office and a"urban" living style not found any where else in Castle Rock or for that matter Douglas County. The first phase of this project is comprised of three buildings with first floor retail and second floor office space. The collective development will be 50+ acres of mixed use commercial. Mercantile Street is located across the street from the NEW Centura Health Castle Rock Adventist Hospital coming in 2009. The retail experience will be pedestrian, authentic, and organic in nature.
There are many other uses within the town center. You can see a few drawings of the project by clicking here

DENVER IS ON THE RISE!
Denver is 1 of Only 12 of the nations 50 Metropolitan areas have a low risk of price declines, according to the PMI Mortgage Insurance companys Winter 2008 Market Risk index. This index is based on the 3rd quarter Office of Federal Housing Oversight data, and ranks the 50 largest metropolitan areas according to the likelihood in price declines. 12 of these metropolitan areas have a 1% or less risk of price declines. Denver is one of the twelve low risk areas. Areas that had the highest price run-ups in recent years are at highest risk of price deterioration.

Moving With Your Pets
If pets are a part of your family, remember that moving, whether down the block or across the country, is just as stressful for them as it is for you. But this stress can be greatly reduced with good planning and the tips that you'll find here. "Animals can sense and react to stress just like people," says Dr. William Fortney, a veterinarian at Kansas State University. "Anything we can do to make it easier on them can make recovering from the move easier on us." Here are some suggestions from top veterinarians, zoo experts and experienced pet owners on how to minimize the stress of moving with pets. Read the general guidelines, then check out the specific pets that make up your family's menagerie:
1- General Guidelines
2- Cats
3- Dogs
4- Birds
5- Fish
6- Reptiles (including snakes, turtles, iguanas, and other lizards)
7- Small Mammals (like mice, gerbils, guinea pigs, and hamsters)
8- Pet Rocks
9- Gorillas (how NOT to move one)
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Keep your pets' routines as regular as possible as you prepare to move. If you normally feed, exercise or play with them at a certain time, continue to do so. During the final crunch of moving, you may find it works best to keep your pet either at a friend's house or a kennel, reducing the chance of your pet getting upset and running away, or in the case of cats, hiding in a box about to be shipped.
Keep some form of identification on the pet at all times and be sure you have current pictures along with a written description available. This will reduce a lot of stress should your pet escape. If the length of the move requires the animal be provided with food and water, be sure the food is bland and easily digested and that the water comes from your home supply. Changing diet or water sources are common causes of diarrhea and vomiting from upset stomachs. If in doubt, check with your veterinarian for food recommendations.
Prior to moving, schedule a visit with your veterinarian for a thorough physical exam, making sure all vaccinations are current, especially the rabies vaccination. While at your veterinarian's office, get copies of your pets' records and check to see if he can recommend another veterinarian at your new location. You can also call the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) at (800) 883-6301 for the names of AAHA veterinarians near your new home.
If your pet is on any medication be sure to have an ample supply so you won't run out before getting settled in your new location. Also discuss with your veterinarian whether your pet should be tranquilized during the move. If so, get enough to try it out prior to the move to be sure the dosage works properly.
Since each state has different laws and regulations regarding the importation of animals and some counties and municipalities have their own ordinances, check with a veterinarian in the new area to be sure your pet complies. It is important to do this several weeks before your move to allow time for all paper work to be completed.
Temperature extremes should be avoided. In most cases, it's best to transport your animal in a sturdy, insulated carrier to help regulate the changing temperature. Never leave a pet in a hot car during the summer time or a cold car in the winter.
If you are transporting the pet by plane, try to book a direct flight to minimize the time the animal may be sitting outside the plane in inclement weather conditions. Some airlines provide counter-to-counter service so your pet will be carried on and off the plane by an airline employee. While this service costs a little more, it may be worth it for your peace of mind.
CATS
Cats are notorious for getting into trouble during the moving process since they are particularly sensitive to stress. "Stress for a cat involves three things," says animal behaviorist and psychologist, John Wright, author of Is Your Cat Crazy? "It involves reaction to novelty -- cats don't like novelty. They like sameness. It involves reaction to unpredictability -- cats don't like events to be unpredictable. The third thing is the degree of control-- cats don't like to be out of control. When you move, you have a high degree of all three, until things settle down."
For these reasons it is particularly important to maintain your cat's normal routine. During the move itself, keep your cat confined to one room with food, water, a litter pan, some favorite toys, and the carrier you plan to use so your cat can get used to it. The door should be locked or have a large, "Do Not Open" sign on it, so the movers won't inadvertently let the "cat out of the bag."
Transport your cat in a well constructed cat carrier large enough to have room for food, water and a small litter box. Upon arrival at your destination, place the cat and carrier in one secure room with at least two doors between the cat and the outside. Open the door of the carrier and let the cat decide when to come out. Allow your cat to become acclimated to the one room before releasing him to the rest of the house. If the cat scurries for cover when you open the door, wait a day or two longer, then try again. Let the cat explore other rooms of the house when it meets you at the door.
If your cat is accustomed to going outdoors, wait several days after arriving at your new home before letting the cat out, placing him on a leash or harness for short exploratory trips. After 2 or 3 days of these trips, you can begin to let your cat out on its own.
DOGS
Dogs are generally easier to move than cats since they aren't as affected by the stress. A few special considerations to keep in mind include being prepared to clean up after your dog at rest stops. Carry a roll of paper towels and disposable plastic bags. Place a piece of paper towel over the solid matter, and your hand in one of the plastic bags. Pick up the towel and solid matter and pull the bag down over your hand and towel, turning it inside out. Then, twist, seal and dispose.
If you have a small dog and plan on flying to your new home, he may be able to fly with you in the passenger compartment if he is small enough to fit into a carry-on bag that will fit under the seat. Check with the airlines for details. If you are transporting a larger dog by plane, try to book a direct flight to prevent your pet from having to spend long periods in a distant airport, and have someone scheduled to pick up your dog at the other end.
Never leave any pet in the car for more than a few minutes. This is especially important during warm weather. If you are carrying your dog with you in the car and plan to stop overnight, be sure to call ahead to find a hotel that accepts pets.
BIRDS
Birds need a health certificate to enter most states and depending on the species may be required to have tests done for certain diseases. Since these regulations can change, it is important that your present veterinarian verify these requirements well in advance of your moving.
If you will be taking your bird in the car, maintain a warm, constant temperature since birds are particularly sensitive to temperature changes. It is possible to carry the bird in its cage as long as you have a cover for it to prevent drafts and keep the bird in a darkened setting to reduce the bird's anxiety. If you have an excitable bird, it may be necessary to cushion the cage or crate with a soft material to reduce self-inflicted trauma.
Place slices of apple, grapes or other fruit in the cage to supplement the bird's water supply and be sure they have adequate places to perch.
FISH
If you have a small number of fish and are moving only a short distance, you can move them to their new location by using plastic bags half filled with water and the other half with air. Place the bags in an insulated container such as an ice chest or Styrofoam container to help maintain a steady temperature.
For a larger number of fish or for transporting over a greater distance, 5-10 gallon plastic containers can be used. First, fill them with water (either salt or fresh water, depending on the type of fish) and change the water often to remove any toxins that might leach from the plastic. On moving day fill the containers half full with water and place the fish in the water, about 1-2 fish per gallon.
If your trip is going to take more than a couple of days, it's best to invest in some portable aerators to keep the water well oxygenated. Do not keep the containers in the car overnight since the drop in temperature is likely to be too severe.
REPTILES
If you are going to ship a venomous snake, it must be placed inside two sturdy boxes or a box inside a wooden crate. With non-venomous ones only one box is needed. Be sure the containers are well insulated and contain air holes for ventilation and are clearly marked with both the common and scientific name of the species.
If you are transporting your snake in your car, be sure not to leave it in the car overnight. Take it into the hotel room (be sure they allow pets), and let it soak for about an hour in the tub. (You will have to take turns.)
The easiest pet to move is a turtle, which can be overnight expressed in a well cushioned, insulated box with air holes.
American Tortoise Rescue (http://www.tortoise.com), a nonprofit organization founded to provide for the rescue of turtles and tortoises, recommends using overnight mail. Be sure to write "Fragile, Live Cargo" and "this side up" on the outside of the box to increase the chances of a softer ride. You can also place leaves or grass inside the container for added cushion and to give the box a more homey environment.
Remember to keep the surroundings of all reptiles moist but not wet. Dampening a cloth and placing it inside the container is the best approach.
Since there are some governmental regulations regarding the shipment of reptiles, consult with A Fieldguide to Reptiles and the Law by J. P. Levell. (published by Serpent's Tale)
SMALL MAMMALS
The best way to move small mammals such as mice, gerbils, guinea pigs and hamsters are to keep them in the car with you and in their normal container. Take their water bottle out to avoid it leaking and soaking the bedding. At rest stops, check the animal and place the bottle back in the cage so it can drink.
Be sure to maintain a comfortable, steady temperature even if it means parking your car away from the rest rooms to get it under the shade of a tree. These little critters are comfortable at about the same temperatures people are so if you are cold or hot, they are too.
PET ROCKS
Probably the only pet easier to move than a turtle. Be careful to not let your pet rock out of its box while you are driving the car. It's simply too easy for them to cause an accident by slipping under your gas or brake pedal.
GORILLAS (How NOT to Move One)
On October 16, 1996, travel plans for the people on Delta Flight 709 were delayed when one of the passengers became upset during a stopover in Salt Lake City. The passenger, a 490-pound gorilla, named Vip, had been traveling for over 12 hours in the cargo hold. Having endured a stopover in Cincinnati and a change of planes in Salt Lake City on his way from Boston to his new home in Seattle, Vip expressed his exasperation by rattling his reinforced aluminum cage, resulting in a "rather loud" noise. "It just turned into a long day," said Brian Rutledge of Boston's Franklin Park Zoo, where Vip had lived. "And when you weigh 490 pounds, you can let people know you've had enough." He was unloaded in Salt Lake City where he spent the night in Hogle Zoo before continuing on to Seattle on the ground.

My Computer dies ( or was it killed)
It was a tough day at work, a typical Monday you would expect. Nothing going right and what could go wrong did go wrong. The fact is it's over now and Tuesdays are always so much better.
