A big part of enjoying a Colorado summer has traditionally involved water, be it from lakes, rivers or streams. This year, however, the state has experienced one water-related tragedy after another.

Last year, we highlighted items on a poster offering twenty reasons why Denver sucks and you shouldn’t move here — the idea being to dissuade folks from relocating so those of us already here can enjoy the Mile High City while having a little more elbow room. A hilarious audio…
This past Sunday, a Colorado Department of Transportation worker made a grisly discovery. A woman’s body was found along Interstate 70. Days later, the victim was identified as Maria Maricela Astorga-Chavez, a 32-year-old who’d been reported missing several days earlier. Her death is being investigated as a homicide — and the…

Even the most well-intentioned public-service announcements can go awry. Look no further than last year’s disastrous Don’t Be a Lab Rat anti-pot campaign, which was revealed with great fanfare, then promptly ditched after it either irritated or offended pretty much everyone with eyeballs.
