The Walking Dead Among Us

Isn’t it interesting that the so called great leaders of business have chosen to live in Estes Park? We hear story after story about the former success of so-and-so who ran such-and-such. Back in Kansas, in the day, they were on every board; people looked up to them, they managed hundreds of employees, yada, yada. Or, maybe it was Nebraska, or Texas. Yup, I controlled this-and-that and what we did was this and that and we had them running. We know how to get things done.

Well, what the hell happened? Did they come to Estes Park and die? Are they so busy plucking duckies with duck poo up to their elbows that they can’t possibly do anything else?

Why don’t these Grand Poobas of business and industry try and put some of that skill and talent toward building the best community in Colorado? Why don’t they tell the Town that running our community into the ground ruins it for everyone?

Mark Igel has volunteered space for them to meet. Many a clarion call has gone out from this website and others. Any yet, nothing has happened. Put the flag at half mast – they all died.
