We get up early. Really early. So when I opened the door to let the dogs out, it was way too dark to see that part of our fence blew down, landing on our AC unit. Thank goodness the dogs didn't venture too far since we live right on 26th Ave. Lucky.
So it was still dark out when we walked our dogs. Anyhow, I wish I had a special camera to capture the wind damage that I saw...Broken tree trunks and branches, an Xcel Energy crew working with spotlights to clear up a downed power pole, a door flung into a flower bed, upside down milk boxes, and political signs all cattywampus.
Anyhow, the Edgewater Fire Department / Wheat Ridge Fire Protection District Inclusion Meeting went really well last night. Both the proponents and opponents should be commended for being such respectful listeners. I think everyone came away from the meeting learning something new.
Attendees opted to miss the Presidential debates, and from what I hear, Edgewater citizens behaved much better than the candidates. There was no posturing or interrupting. It was just a group of concerned Edgewater residents coming together to learn about the issue. Karen Hing, one of the citizens spearheading the inclusion initiative stated it well:
"These folks are here because they realize that they can't do much on the national level, but they can educate themselve on this issue and make a direct decision on the safety of Edgewater."
Well said.
