Please help with my phone book phobia! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Although I may not qualify as a millennial or Gen Zed, I’m tempted to pull out my ever-graying hair when bloody phone books appear in my Durango neighborhood. Don’t get me wrong, I am excited when most packages show up on my doorstep, but the heavy, plastic-wrapped phone books leave me pondering who in the H-E-double-hockey-stick uses these things. There once was a time when I would peruse the Yellow Pages to find a plumber or locate the number for Coast to Coast Hardware downtown, but is there
Can anyone be elected county coroner? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello! An acquaintance remarked recently how they might run for county coroner in the next election. This person has no medical training or past experience in anything crime or death related. Can they do that? And what does the coroner do? Who decides who warrants an autopsy, and who actually performs them? And is it paid, and if so, does it pay well? Might be a lucrative entry-level position for Durango? It’s true that out here in the timbers of Fennario (a variation of “out in the sticks”), a
I hear that train a-comin’ – how can you not? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It seems as though the train whistle has gotten louder this summer – a lot louder! Feels like a good case to put Action Line on. I love this question because I have noticed this too, and not just this summer, but it seemed to me to coincide with the switch to diesel engines some years ago. I’ve mentioned it to several people, not all of whom seemed to agree with me, so I’m glad at least someone else does. As it turns out, we are not just hearing things. I reached out to the Durango & Silverton N
What’s with the chicanery on Riverview Drive? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As you probably know, the city is implementing a speed control demonstration project on Riverview Drive using those vertical poles in the street. They’re called “chicanes.” Right now it’s seeking comments through its online survey. But almost everybody I talk to is clueless that there is such a survey going on. So I thought you could jump in and help let everybody know that now is the time to comment – the survey closes Aug. 31 and can be found at https://tinyurl.com/muhermmx. Signed, Don’t Dupe
What’s the lowdown on the airport pat-down? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your recent “no hotel near the airport” column got me thinking. So, passing through TSA security at Durango-La Plata County Airport, I was pulled aside for a “pat down” after triggering an alarm in the full body scanner. You know, the one where you strike a pose like the upswing of making a snow angel, or perhaps a poor rendition of Leonardo da Vinci’s “Vitruvian Man”? Well, somehow my scan was found curious. With nothing to hide I opted to undergo the hands-on search right there in plain sight
