I was driving down Denver's Colfax Avenue (the longest street in the United States) the other day and noticed a pickup truck in the other lane driving along with a dead elk in the truck bed (see photograph above). Did they just shoot that elk, or what? As I sat waiting for the light to change, I had a vision of two guys sitting at an outdoor table at the Cheeky Monk Belgian Beer cafe, sipping their beers, watching the traffic go by, when all of a sudden a huge elk ambles past, right behind the Colfax number 15 bus. They pick up their rifles - which are leaning against their table, of course - take careful aim, and blast the living hell out of one of God's living creatures. They then load the elk into the back of the pickup and head home. As you can see, Colorado is definitely a paradise for hunters, and you don't even need to leave the city, let alone leave your table at the local brew pub. Talk about heaven!
