Still having fun: If you practically crash your car ogling the 1970s glory of this album cover every time it pops up on your touchscreen, you’ll want to listen up. Not one, but two, ’70s soft rock icons will be appearing at this year’s La Plata County Fair: Firefall and Orleans.; Read More

Time to tighten the belt. Again. According to estimates from the Colorado Division of Insurance, private insurance rates are expected to go up by nearly 40% on the Western Slope next year, equating to $5,186 a year for a 60-year-old.

This Week's Sign of the Downfall

Land of the Crave

In Sweden, the biggest jar of Hellmann’s mayonnaise you can buy is the “American Size,” because our fatness has made us a global joke. And really, we deserve it because the American Size jar of mayo contains 24oz as where the standard jar sold in America is an even larger 30oz. But instead of being insulted, we doubled down: at this year’s Minnesota State Fair, which opens in two weeks, Lu Lu’s Public House sells deep-fried ranch dressing, which is made mostly of mayo. Yes, we’re deep-frying condiments now, and yes, you can order extra ranch for dipping. So unfortunately, if we took a yea-or-nay poll as to whether or not there was hope for our country, I’m afraid the mayo-nays would have it.
