Ziska's: September 2014

http://ziskac.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Friday, September 19, 2014. Yes, it's that time of year again. It's the mad Meeker dash with folding chairs for that coveted spot next to the handlers facing the pen. It's jostling mega millimeter lenses. It's 4 am freeze and 4 pm swelter. It's time for spinning wool and catching frogs in the irrigation ditch. It's pancake breakfasts,. Funnel cake, kettle corn, lemonade, custom Powder River cowboy hats and hand tooled leather. It's time for Sheepdog Trials! There are no "Have you seen Babe? The dog runs ...

Ziska's: Up the down staircase, or an afternoon at the Museum

http://ziskac.blogspot.com/2014/08/up-down-staircase-or-afternoon-at-museum.html

Sunday, August 3, 2014. Up the down staircase, or an afternoon at the Museum. The new Aspen Art Museum. Has two staircases, one accessed from the cash register* and one from the street. If you prefer you may use the elevator and get shot to the top (or the bottom). Let me be clear- there is no entrance fee- but there are still things for sale). Here's the NYT fluff piece. Can't wait for the real review). Black Lightning" Art "happening". I felt sorry for the tortoises. I hope they don't turn into soup.

Ziska's: October 2014

http://ziskac.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 23, 2014. The first bare root choke cherries I planted were in May 2013. Most of these were eaten by deer but one has survived. Two summers of growth without irrigation- not too bad. I replaced the choke cherries which the deer had eaten with smaller seedlings. These are smaller than what Groasis recommends since they don't come above the edge of the box. And this is what they look like in October 2014. Still growing and still deep inside the box. Posted by Ziska Childs. What a tempting...

Ziska's: February 2015

http://ziskac.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Wednesday, February 11, 2015. Let's Regulate it." letter to the editor. This is in response to the Alpina Haus article on February 9. And the proposed amendment. To the town charter. Is providing a clean and safe rental property with modern appliances the same as "overdevelopment"? Our "carefully crafted" permitting process makes no distinction between the two and I believe that is a core problem in our land use code. Why doesn't Aspen have hotel/rental property inspectors and ratings? Links to this post.

Puppies/Available | Allegro Cardigan Welsh Corgis

Allegro Cardigan Welsh Corgis. Retirees & Memorials. Up to date as of February 2016). Philosophies – About Us. Our puppies are placed as pets on a spay/neuter contract. When we breed, which is very rarely, it is to keep something for ourselves. We occasionally have show quality puppies that may be available to very well-screened homes, but we do not sell puppies into “breeding” homes that are not otherwise involved with the breed. It’s helpful to tell us a little about yourself when you contact us. Jessi...

Ziska's: Ofili opening

http://ziskac.blogspot.com/2015/07/ofili-opening.html

Saturday, July 18, 2015. I went to the member's preview of the Aspen Art Museum Chris Ofili exhibit. We started in the second floor gallery. This is the gallery where 6 Scenic Artists (including yours truly) painted the background mural. Details on that process can be found in an earlier post. He has guts. It takes courage to stand out in a room of purple and these paintings take focus. In the second gallery comes. The dung ball feet on each painting bring to mind. TG for that toxic resin but it does beg...

Ziska's: June 2015

http://ziskac.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Thursday, June 11, 2015. Diversions, letter to the editor. So, the Front Range is scaremongering again. Let us suck the water out of the high country rivers or you will drown in a flood… like Sodom and Gomorrah… oh wait that was brimstone and fire… it's so difficult to keep track of disastertopia. Sure diversions are something we've done a lot so why not just keep doing what we have been doing all along. I mean, what could possibly go wrong? Riparian power point- "Why are they important?

Ziska's: May 2015

http://ziskac.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 19, 2015. Spinning into butter, letter to the editor. You'd be hard pressed to fit the width of a butter knife between the views of the two runoff candidates for City Council. Passes for entrepreneurial encouragement. The Performing Arts Center is mentioned only when the RETT. Pot of gold looks fat enough to pilfer. If half the seniors who voted in the last election needed assisted living how would they fit into the 15 apartments at Whitcomb Terrace. Lift 1A, Lift 1A, Lift 1A. And I had my d...

Ziska's: Pressure cooks

http://ziskac.blogspot.com/2015/07/pressure-cooks.html

Sunday, July 19, 2015. In response to Lorenzo's editorial. At its heart, Aspen is a tourist town, a ski resort. The focus should be on short-term visits. Recently.there has been a paradigm shift from renting to selling Aspen — as in permanently. Personally I’m a little more comfortable with renting Aspen — when you’re done with it, I want it back.". Yep, at it's inflated squeaky balloon 2008 level there was a realtor in every other downtown building. It's even simpler than penthouses vs hotel rooms.
