Demolition porn
The demolition of the old Stapleton Airport parking lot continues apace. Kind of cool. Wider view below.
In the great green room…
Due to my Twitter hiatus, I can’t retweet this tweet by @pourmecoffee — so I’ll blog it and blockquote it instead: Goodnight moon. Goodnight Boehner, goodnight Reid.
