Evening Mr. Pig, America still winning!
DENVER –Colorado U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooperannounced Thursday that he has tested positive for a“breakthrough”case of COVID-19.
The first-term Democrat issued a statement saying he tested positive after experiencing mild symptoms and is self-isolating at the direction of the attending physician for the U.S. Congress, Dr. Brian P. Monahan.
Infections and illnesses can happen even after being vaccinated. Experts say vaccinationcouldhelp make any illnesses less severe. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that newer versions of the coronavirus could be a factor in “breakthrough” cases.
Hickenlooper, 69, is a former brewpub entrepreneur, Denver mayor and two-term governor who defeated incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner in the 2020 election.

Air Force Exploring Plans To Lay New Infrastructure Lines From Cheyenne Base To Colorado Missile SilosThe U.S. Department of Defense is in the process of replacing its 400 Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles as part of an upgrade to the country’s defense system.
Small towns in northeastern Colorado are seeing the first movements toward that goal as military personnel visit plots of property surrounding the existing Minuteman silos in that part of the state. The Air Force is gathering data to compile an environmental impact statement, a necessary first step before any dirt is disturbed.
And plenty of digging is proposed — approximately 1,780 miles of utility trench between three Air Force bases and their surrounding missile fields. Modern communications capabilities, most importantly, will be buried in the trenches, upgrading the connection between the bases and the existing missile silos.

This includes missile silos in northeastern Colorado presently operated and maintained by F. E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne. A University of Wyoming count of silos found 54 near the towns of Peetz, Stoneham, Raymer, Crook, Proctor, Padroni, Buckingham, Sterling, Keota, and Grover. Rows of wind turbines have been erected recently around a handful of the sites.
Warren AFB’s missile field also extends into parts of Wyoming and Nebraska. The project’s other bases are Malmstrom AFB in Montana and Minot AFB in North Dakota.
Preliminary analysis, according to the military, indicates more than 90 percent of new trenching would occur on private land.A MX or “Peacekeeper” missile, left, and two versions of the Minuteman missile sit at the entrance of Warren Air Force base July 11, 2001 near Cheyenne, WY.

In April, the Air Force and Warren AFB notified Weld County Commissioners that it intended to send out notices to county residents living in proximity to the silos. The requests for right-of-entry asked for permission to enter private land in order to “survey potential threatened and endangered species and habitats, and wetlands or archaeological areas of concern” pertaining to the EIS.
The Air Force’s notice asked residents to sign a contract allowing personnel access to property for the upcoming trench digging:
“These utility corridors would be in addition to the existing utilities connection to the Launch Facilities and Missile Alert Facilities….The u tilities would be installed in a 25-foot-wide temporary easement and maintained in a 16.5-foot permanent easement. Temporary easements would be sized to accommodate access and required equipment, and to provide temporary spoils storage. The utility trench would have a typical depth of 4-8 feet with a finished footprint approximately 2-feet wide. Directional drilling would be used as needed to install utility lines beneath roadways and stream crossings, and near sensitive environmental resources. In cases in which directional drilling is required, the width of the easement and depth of the trench would depend upon the obstacle being avoided….Upon completion….disturbed areas would be reseeded and restored, as necessary.”

Train derailed in Fort Worth after flooding weakened tracksFederal officials say a train that derailed and caught fire in Fort Worth in 2019 was traveling on tracks that had been weakened by flooding after days of rain.
The National Transportation Safety Board said in an accident report released Thursday that the weakened track structure and washout from the rains, which flooded nearby Echo Lake, were the probable cause of the April 24, 2019 accident. Over two dozen of the Union Pacific train's tank cars derailed and three were breached, leaking over 65,000 gallons of ethanol, which is highly flammable.
The report says contributing factors include deferred maintenance of spillways at Echo Lake and lack of "dynamic weather reporting" at Union Pacific.Several homes were evacuated and at least three horses were killed when the flames spread to a nearby stable, officials have said.
The track structure had weakened during the flooding to a point where it couldn’t support the train, the report said.
The report says the city of Fort Worth owns the lake but that Tarrant County is responsible for storm water and drain repairs. The report said the lake's primary spillway included three drainage pipes, and at the time of the accident, one was functional, one was intentionally plugged due to damage and the third was blocked by debris.
