Yeah - right now, Boulder, Lyons, etc. are getting a taste of the flood in '65 which dumped even more moisture on the Front Range (14" in 24 hours) but that storm was concentrated south of the Palmer Divide (divides the watershed of the South Platte to the north and the Arkansas to the south) which is why Colorado Springs and Pueblo were spared the brunt of this one. 'They' are saying that this is a '500 year flood' just as they said about the one is '65 which makes 'their' reckoning off by at least a factor of 10; Pueblo was hit in '35(?) when Fountain Creek roared thru town which resulted in the channelization of the Fountain in Pueblo (Monument Creek in C. Spgs. was also channelized). My point is that these events have been going on since who knows when and now people make comments like 'I've been living here for 30 years and have never seen anything like this'; None of the developers and planners take into account the history of the Front Range's weather events and can't even tell you where the historic flood plains of the various creeks and rivers are - they just keep building and paving over them. On top of the year-around rivers and streams the foothills and plains have numerous, normally dry, creeks and arroyos that SOMETIMES run out of their banks that are the farthest from people's minds until an event like we're seeing now comes along. These things happen on a semi-regular basis BUT,soon, we will hear about how this is just another manifestation of 'global-warming' - Yeh, right :x

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
