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

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.

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...

Chase Carter: November 2007
http://chasecarter.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Words for people who eat, travel, dream, laugh, and swear. Monday, November 19, 2007. Holy shit- that last entry kills me. “Someday I will look back on these days as a blissful steady stream of one good day after another.” Ya think? I wrote that Mach 31st of this year. Amazing. On March 12th my mom looked down at a magazine and heard a click click click in her neck. On April 16th my mom was taken into the ER in Santa Monica because the pain in her neck had gotten so bad. On July 5th our cat died. And her...

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.

Ziska's: Tarantella d'Aspen
http://ziskac.blogspot.com/2015/08/tarantella-daspen.html
Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Opportunity" normally when I hear that word and it's connected to anything in Aspen I start looking for snake oil and a word which is normally paired with "shinola". This time it's real. This time it is actually an opportunity to do something for the community instead of something to the community. This bas-relief of "Kairos" god of opportunity was once at the Palazzo Medici in Florence, but now has been lost. And set the Armory free. A Community Hall located in the community?
