Why Hello There, Colorado

What a week! First off, Top 3 Activities:

look at this waste, pick up your fucking apples!

1. Apple Picking/Wine Tasting--> This activity is highly encourage, $4 for wine tasting (aka I tried Brandy instead, stupid) then threw apples at friends in a classical New England Autumn atmosphere!  
2. Old People/Country Club Sports!--> Yup, I played both tennis and golf on the same day
3. Redbones--> This is a pretty hip BBQ place down the street from my place.  While it's no Little Richard's, it does the job.  I don't think I'm capable of saying no if anyone brings up (does that mean I have a bbq problem?).  
4. Counting is for bitches--> I am 2-0 at credit card roulette, I made Juan watch Transformers 3, and I'm going pro in Sic Bo when casinos (and happy hour?) are legalized in Massachusetts.

In preparation of my first trip to the mountain time zone (Colorado peoples!) I have consulted the wikipedia machine in order to learn of other people's mistakes from throughout history, so I can avoid their the bad stuff and stick to the good stuff when visiting the "Centennial State" (seriously? that's a terrible state nickname).

• Colonel Pike and his men were arrested by Spanish cavalrymen (1806)-->Obviously I will do my best to avoid the g.d. Spanish cavalry
• Pike's Peak Gold Rush (1858)--> This page has a title of "free gold" for one section.  I know I'm a tad late, but I like free gold!
• Reverend John Chivington as Colonel of the Colorado Volunteers massacred a bunch of Indians at Sand Creek (1864)--> I'm gonna go ahead and just avoid murder in all forms for the weekend...
• Watch out for this Bears (always!)-->duh stupid
• "Denver, Colorado is known for steak"--> But how's their milk steak?
• Colorado's state symbols include: Fossil- Stegosaurus, Mammal- Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, and Folk Dance- Square Dance--> I WANT ALL THESE THINGS!
• Guy on a buffalo!!!! (part duex)--> Prolly from Colorado, right?

Hockey Talk, ya hoser!: The Bruins are officially hung-over (link has nothing to do with hockey but is awesome anyways!). If you saw the banner ceremony (a little too much, but hey, when you win one, milk it I guess) then you know that karma was gonna kick them in the face.  One of the major chit-chat topics is conflicting dynamics of preventing concussions and allowing fighting.  I think fighting serves a regulatory purpose most of the time, keeping players in check with each.  But scenes like this are gonna happen (Asham later apologized for the taunts, so he's okay my book) which shed an ugly light on fighting.  I can see wanting to prevent brawls and unnecessary violence, but please don't take Shawn Thornton's job!

This Week in Bear News: Apparently some parts of Asia have bear farms. Now apparently this does not refer to bears that are farmers as a profession (Dwight would not approve of a bear run beet farm) or a farm where bears are grown, but instead its where you keep bears in a cage and steal their bile.  The bile has actually been proven to help with gallstones, but scientists can make it without bears.  Alright Asia, keep pissing off the bears and keep them locked up in your matrix like captivity, see what happens (I see a remake of the matrix in the future, but with bears)!
