Katabotic winds sweeping down from the Sangre de Cristo mountain range left 2000 people without electrical service on Christmas Day 2016 in Custer County, Colorado. This is the third time in the last 5 years that the same power lines have gone down causing outages.
Underground electric lines and surface mounted transformers installed 20 years ago are never affected by these strong winds and will continue to be maintenance free for their design life of at least 50 years. Ironically the strongest winds are in this coveted ” West Side ” of the valley where residential homes in the $500,000 – $2 million dollar range prevail. Level terrain, spectacular mountain views, lush pastures, the proximity of the 266,000 acre Sangre de Cristo Wilderness and an abundance of underground water for water wells make this area most desirable.
Using the Imagination I invented a chair to motivate the CEO of Sangre de Cristo Electric to begin work on a design driven and cost effective approach to begin ruggedizing the electrical distribution system to withstand winds of 150 – 180 mph in Custer County, Colorado…. Look here:

Thank you.
.
Thank you for being a part of this campaign. We didn’t get the result we wanted, and of course we will always regret that. But when everything we believe in was on the line, we stood up and battled and gave it our all. I take great pride in that. I hope you do, too.
.
If you’re still hurting today, that’s ok. You’re not alone. And no doubt there are many difficult days ahead for our country and the world.
.
But I want to talk about where we go from here, because there has never been more work to do. The people we fought for in this election — working people looking for a better job or a fair wage; immigrant families who deserve to be treated with dignity; women who should have the right to make their own health decisions; Muslims who need to know that America has a place for them; little girls and boys who should know that they can be anything they want to be when they grow up — have never needed us more. They were dealt a setback on Tuesday. But the only way we lose these fights over the long term is if people like us get discouraged, instead of getting back to work.
.
The dust is still settling from Tuesday’s election, and we don’t have all the answers yet. But for now, here are a few things to consider:
.
Run for office. If we’ve learned anything from our candidate, it’s that the best way to make change is simply to go out and do it.
.
Get involved in a local or municipal race, whatever it takes to be that change you want to see in your community.Get involved in your community in other ways. Join a board, help plan community days, volunteer with local progressive groups. Fight for Democrats. Democrats across the country need your support now more than ever. They need your votes, if you live in their districts, but they also need your time and your resources to keep going.
.
Support women and girls. Reach out to the women and girls in your family and other circles and let them know that you value and support them. Ask them what their dreams are — then help them get there however you can.
.
Promote Love and Kindness where you live. Hillary has lived her life with the words “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can” — and it’s up to us to carry on her work in our communities.This isn’t the end. Hillary has shown us every single day: The measure of a person is not whether you get knocked down but whether you get back up. As she said on Wednesday, “Let us have faith in each other. Let us not grow weary and lose heart, for there are more seasons to come and there is more work to do.”
.
With deepest gratitude,
.

While Donna L. Hood’s latest political advertisement in the Wet Mountain Tribune name drops the Music Meadows Ranch, Bear Basin Ranch and the San Isabel Land Trust and makes the claim she is for protecting our Heritage, her own Painted View Ranch is heavily developed with property improvements.
.
Using Google Earth and personally visiting the Ranch on several occassions I could see that much of the Ranch is covered with large buildings, roads, corrals, gigantic barns, loafing sheds, over grazed pastures and outbuildings. If everyone followed Donna’s example our beautiful high mountain valley would look like a vast Agricultural Complex in a Desert setting.
.
My own Sierra Mojada Ranch is a cluster housing development of 1640 acres that preserves over 80% of the Ranch in it’s natural state for future generations and honors the traditions of the New West. To me the Sierra Mojada Ranch like the Music Meadows Ranch, Maytag Mountain Ranch and the Bear Basin Ranch are preserving our Heritage not the heavily developed and commercialized Painted View Ranch event center. These sort of large scale Agricultural Complexes leave little of the land in it’s natural state and are heavy users of precious ground water. They also disrupt the Ecology that has been in place for thousands of years. Wildlife habitat is ruined.
.
You can Google these names and words in this letter to Learn more. Look at all this on Google Earth also if you have the time or drive around these Ranches and look out the window at reality.
Thinking allowed…..
