15 weeks for a new passport

After losing my passport while in Canada at the end of February and getting back into the US with relatively little problem, I applied for a new passport on March 28, 2007. The clerk at the Eagle, CO post office told me that I probably wouldn't have the new passport until at least the week of June 10. 15 weeks after I submitted the application, I finally received my new passport on July 21, 2007.

While the current system of health care delivery in the US has issues, a single provider system run by the government is probably not the answer to our ills. If the State Dept can't handle issuing a single document to US citizens, how can another branch of the government handle something as complex as health care?

With new passport in hand, hopefully I'll be off to Panama in September.

Doug Lofland, Casandra Foister, Stephen Hall, Erin Peck and Mike Beltracchi rode in the MS 150 from Denver to Ft. Collins on July 7 & 8. It was hot and dry, but we all survived. Casandra suggestd that next year we name our team, "How's your Aspen?"

Frontier to ski resorts, not just yet

Frontier Airlines has recently announced that they will start selling tickets on their new regional turboprop service to 4 new cities. However, there will be a delay before they potentially start selling tickets to cities such as Aspen (ASE) and Eagle (EGE).
