While some areas of Colorado are suffering from drought conditions, the Silver Spur Ranch Kiowa Creek Division is doing well due to receiving moisture when needed. This year's hay fields and pastures are in good condition. Management of the range is easier when moisture is plentiful but knowing what to do in all situations to provide forage for the cows on the ranch is important.
It's massive, the size of a large wall and takes a whole day to turn. That's how former president and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump described a "very large faucet" that he hopes will redirect water from Canada down into California.

Iran?
Geolocation via a cell phone is not even a country-level aberration nowadays.

@#11 ... the dealmaker behind the crypto project is Chase Herro -- a man who once described himself as "the dirtbag of the internet." ...
Wow.
From what I have seen, that self-description may not be incorrect.
Behind the Trump crypto project is a self-described 'dirtbag of the internet'
financialpost.com
... Chase Herro once called Bitcoin a 'scam against the dollar'
Chase Herro has sold a lot of things in his career. Weed. Weight-loss "colon cleanses." A US$149-a-month get-rich-quick class. Now he's adding another line to his resume: the Trump family's crypto guru.
Herro is the dealmaker behind World Liberty Financial, the crypto project that Donald Trump and his two older sons have been promoting on social media in recent weeks, according to two people involved with the project.
Herro's long-time business partner Zachary Folkman is also playing a key role. While few details about World Liberty have been released, Eric Trump said that the startup will promote "financial independence" and Donald Trump Jr. said it will "make finance great again." Former President Trump himself posted a video saying he'd announce the details on Sept. 16. "We're embracing the future with crypto and leaving the slow and outdated big banks behind," Trump said.

Yet Herro, a fast-talking 39-year-old who shows off his fancy cars and private-jet rides on social media, is an unknown in the crypto world. More than a dozen prominent digital-asset investors said in interviews they had never heard of him.
The only crypto project with which he was publicly affiliated attracted only a few million dollars and suffered a devastating hack. A token he promoted on influencer Logan Paul's podcast dropped 96 per cent afterward. In one speech in 2018, he called himself "the dirtbag of the internet" and said that regulators should "kick s**t-heads like me out."
"You can literally sell s**t in a can, wrapped in piss, covered in human skin, for a billion dollars if the story's right, because people will buy it," Herro said about crypto in a 2018 YouTube video recorded as he drove in a Rolls-Royce.
"I'm not going to question the right and wrong of all that." ...
Yeah, sounds like an appropriate business partner for the Trump clan.
Consequential presidents get shot at': Trump at Michigan town hall
www.newsnationnow.com
... Former President Donald Trump campaigned Tuesday in Michigan, marking his first public event since an apparent second assassination attempt at his Florida golf course.
Trump attended a town hall at the Dort Financial Center in Flint, Michigan. His former press secretary and current Arkansas governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, moderated the conversation. ...
Addressing the dangers of the presidency, Trump stated, "Only consequential presidents get shot at," suggesting the attempts on his life validate his impact.
There was an electric atmosphere inside the standing-room-only sports arena, where thousands of Trump supporters greeted the former president with a deafening roar when he took the stage.
The overflowing crowd interrupted Trump's discussion with Sanders with chants of "God bless Trump!" and "Fight, fight, fight" at various times.
"A lot of love in this room," Trump remarked.
Trump said he had a call with Vice President Kamala Harris and described it as "very, very nice." He did not provide details about the conversation's content. ...
