Dang it, wrote about this yesterday and forgot to mention the upcoming rally. If you missed the first rally on the steps of the EPA office in Denver last month, don’t fret, the Defend the Colorado gang has scheduled another Rally for the River this Wednesday. Sinjin Eberle (interview here) was one of the speakers [...]

Lately She Who Must Be Obeyed and I have been having one of those running ‘fork-in-the-road’ discussions that come up in life now and again. For those who have been reading Chi Wulff any time over the past couple of years probably know by now that we’re mountain folks who’ve been living in Austin for [...]

Don’t know about you, but I don’t like someone looking over my shoulder while I’m working. It’s a damned annoyance. Somehow I get the feeling folks working in Colorado’s Northern Water Conservancy District’s offices, as well as advisors in Gov. John Hickenlooper’s office aren’t enjoying having the EPA promise to ‘look over their shoulders’ as [...]

I like the way the river smells. Unless you’ve been out on the water on a warm, late-summer afternoon, after enduring a long, cold and sterile winter, you probably don’t have an inkling of what I’m talking about. If you close your eyes, take a long, deep breath, and drink it all in – you [...]

Back in the day (a wonderfully ambiguous measure of time) some of us would make a late winter / early spring dash to the (relatively) much more temperate environs of northern New Mexico to fish the San Juan. This was long enough ago that the river, shops and eateries weren’t lined with Texans and refugees from [...]

Can’t make the trip to Bozeman this weekend for the Madison Gallatin TU banquet and auction? It’s a grand time and has one of the most interesting auctions you’ll ever find at a TU event anywhere. We can’t make it either this year, dammit, though there’s reason not to despair. We can all submit proxy [...]

Back a few months ago software company Rivolu offered us a chance to download and test their TideTrac app. Shamefully it went on the to-do list but was buried by a cascade of seemingly urgent tasks and never done. A renewed interest in tides over the past week or so just happened to coincide with [...]
