Ah that pic in the hed takes me back. Used to commute 65 miles each way over 7,352-foot Monument "Hill," between Denver and Colorado Springs. I had a lot of admiration for the snowplow drivers, who'd out there at 5:30 AM in the worst imaginable weather, running down a long 4% slope with the bed up dumping a mix of sand and future work for weejee, the blade down striking sparks off the pavement.
This reminds me–time to change the water filter in my Brita FFS.

You know who has the best municipal tap water? Los Angeles. They steal it from us.
Hetch Hetchy is stolen water too, but San Francisco didn't decimate an existing community and economy to do it.
