Welcome to Thoughts from the West

We live in interesting times, and I live in an interesting state. Colorado's demographics have changed quite a bit since I first moved here from New York in 2000, to witness what pundits describe as a Western state moving Red to Purple to Blue.

These same pundits are struggling to make sense of what is changing in Colorado. I'm not surprised; they tend to look at things like polls and statistics and find data to support their conclusions, rather than the other way around.

TFTW is bound to be about a lot of things. I'm interested in civics and governance. One author is interested in energy. Another, incarceration. Yet another, who knows? But through it all this project is about concerned citizens, living in the West, who have something to say.
