Louisville

There was a Marshall fire.

In 2021, 100 mile an hour winds took out hundreds of homes in Superior and Louisville.

More than 35,000 people were evacuated and it took them a lot of time to get out.

But it's not just those stories, right? It's the cyber attacks.

At the beginning of this year, me and Kimberly made the decision to move.

We moved down to Louisville here in Colorado, which is 12 minutes, 15 minutes down the street from where we were in Boulder, a really beautiful home that is also much more accessible and reasonable.

I started making completely different decisions in the business.

I brought back a lot of the original mindsets and thinking that had created the success and the profitability that I had built years before.

The latest from UPI and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is that a series of three explosions occurred on the planet Mars between 7.30 and 8 p.m. Eastern Time, 5.30 and 6 here in Colorado.

There have now been numerous reports from Cahal listeners in the Louisville, Lafayette, and Broomfield areas of a large, bright flash visible from what we can tell to be a

20-mile radius.

Brad, let me interrupt you.

A retired engineer in Boulder wants to lend her daughter and son-in-law $900,000 toward a house in Louisville, Colorado, rather than watch them sign a jumbo mortgage.

Her worry is simple.

If she writes the check, does the IRS see a loan or a $900,000 gift? The difference matters.

But what was important was that during the seven years I spent in Vaisala, I was part of their organization here in Finland, but also did a few years of work in their U.S. subsidiary, being the controller there and reporting also to the headquarters in two locations, in Boston, Massachusetts, and also in Germany.

Denver, Colorado, in a place actually closer to Boulder, Boulder, Colorado, called Louisville.

And that was an exciting time.

And to kind of get the basics of an international tech business that has headquarters in Finland, is a Nasdaq Helsinki listed company, and also operating globally, and for example, in the US.

So we had a beautiful bluebeard durum that we sold to local pasta makers.

We had a hard red winter wheat that we sold to local bakers, Moxie Bakery in Boulder and Louisville.

And the alfalfa is just a beautiful crop.

And it's a nitrogen-fixing legume.

Have a great weekend, everybody.

Hey, go see Spring in Louisville tomorrow.

Spring, tell the people where you're gonna be tomorrow.

Uh, the King Soopers in Louisville.

King Soopers in Louisville.

Yeah.

Go, go...

Yeah.

We can take an RTK survey measurement in Downtown Louisville, Colorado here and go measure the door, right? And so we know exactly where the door is.

And so we've done that in Denver and Louisville and Boulder and measured that, you know, with survey-grade markers so we can benchmark things.

Um, but we've, we've run it for the top 50 metropolitan areas in the US to see how it scales out.

So sounds like they've got a lot of work to do here in figuring out exactly how this should work.

The areas that should have this, real quick: Arvada, Boulder, Bow Mar, Broomfield, Centennial, Cherries Hill Village, Carter Springs, Columbine Valley, Denver, Edgewater, Englewood, Federal Heights, Fort Collins, Glendale, Greenwood Village, Lafayette, Lakeside, Lakewood, Littleton, Longmont, Louisville, Loveland, Manitou Springs, Mountain View, Pueblo, Sheridan, Starkville, Superior, Trinidad, Westminster, and lastly, Wheat Ridge.

So those all should have it, but there are folks outside of those areas that actually got ballots, uh, with 7A on them, and they should not.

And yet again, our, uh, illustrious Secretary of State Jenna Griswold, who by the way, should never have been there in the first place, but she is.

You're in your first term.

I was on city council in, in Louisville-

Okay

... about a decade before that.
