That rain quickly turned to some slushy ass snow. Greeley is normally our smelly city, but I'm sure Golden gave it a run for its money with a nice wet dog scent hovering over downtown. So which do you prefer, wet dog or wet cow?

This is why we are taking a field trip to Finland to watch a competition. We might even get raincoaster to suit up and join in, or one of the other Canadians whose own country has a bloodsport called curling.  Wrap your pretty heads around this: centuries ago, people were
