RTD plans to significantly increase frequency of G and B trains to Arvada and Westminster Trains could run every 15 minutes to Arvada and every 30 minutes to Westminster.

RTD could finally undo pandemic-era cuts to G and B train service, and juice up some bus lines too. denverite.com/2026/02/12/r...

At La Vista Motel, a viewing party as crews raise another arch at Colfax & Hudson for bus rapid transit. β€œThis is my third erection party,” a woman proudly told me.

A scam text, most likely generated by an AI/large language model. It's trying to draw me into a conversation and scare me into transferring money. And for some reason it's talking like a Corleone. : )

A screenshot of a scam text that reads: "Listen, fella, I'm talkin' to you straight from the yard. I'm feelin' like you're makin' a mistake, holdin' out on me like this. I showed you love, gave you a pass on that first payment, and now you're makin' me look like a schlemiel out here. $1500, that's a lotta scratch, and I'm not just talkin' about the Benjamins. I'm talkin' about respect, vet."

This has been happening for days. I know AI is making scams more linguistically advanced, but why is it talking like a movie mob boss?

Finance people, help me…

My home insurance in Arvada is $4.5k. The perk is it still has an extremely low wind/hail deductible of $1.5k, which you can’t really get anymore.

I could get a policy for $2.4k instead, but my wind/hail goes up to $9.2k.

Is the risk/reward worth the change?

New: Denver's minimum wage will rise from $18.81 to $19.29 on Jan. 1. It's pegged to inflation. An increase of 2.6%, it's lower than the past couple years.

The tipped minimum wage will also rise from $15.79 to $16.27 per hour, which is similarly set by a formula.

Conditions are great, don’t worry. (Keystone last week. Other runs were less ridiculous, but it’s pretty dire.)

A lot of biographies will say a dude had a β€œmajestic” head instead of just calling it huge, which I appreciate as someone with a majestic head.

The dream of pickleball may be dead at Denver’s Civic Center gravel pit It was just too expensive in a year of layoffs and budget cuts.
