I went biking yesterday afternoon to Denver's 16th Street Mall, and couldn't help but notice that there were a lot of blue trees around, such as the ones in the photograph on the left. Is this to show solidarity with the Denver Broncos (whose uniforms are blue), the city's beloved football team that is worshiped by virtually all Coloradans and who are covered by the news media all 12 months of the year? The team started this season losing their first 4 games, causing citywide panic, before winning their next two. And tonight they face the Kansas City Chiefs, which will be a very tough challenge indeed. I can just imagine the apoplectic headlines in the newspaper tomorrow. Don't buy those Super Bowl tickets yet, people.
P.S. I went on the internet to get information on those blue trees, and found out that they are an art project by a local artist who is making a statement about global warming. But if it helps the Broncos win, what the hell, right?
