The temperature reached the mid-70s yesterday here in Denver, which was finally warm enough for me to get on the bike for the first time this year and head downtown. The 16th Street Mall was crowded with people, as were the patios of the restaurants along it. I continued on to McGregor Square, located right across the street from Coors Field, and expected to see a Colorado Rockies spring training game on the giant outdoor screen. Instead, there was a UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) match being televised, showing two women pounding the hell out of each other. And there were a lot of people actually watching it. What's the deal with that? Even if the Rockies game was not being televised, they could at least have shown a different contest, even one featuring the Chicago Cubs - whom, I might add, the Rockies beat by a score of 17-1 on Friday. Was I witnessing - in person - the decline of Western Civilization? Best to just hop back on the bike and not even think about it. Which is my go-to philosophy for a lot of things these days.
