Re: CO: A treat and a COSMIX Update

Colorado Springs cops are known for their sneak attacks and hidden speed
traps. I found one in a usual space, on southbound 25 at the Uintah (Exit
143) merge.

Nothing too special here: just one officer with the gun relaying info to
the motorcycle cops. Here's where it gets funny:

I think I need to give someone some sunscreen!

That's great :)

Kentucky is well known for their speed traps at Morehead. You'll see
sometimes a row of 5 state troopers on an onramp ready to prounce after
a cop about 1 mile west relays that {car} was speeding.

I've also seen the cop radar behind a "REST AREA" sign, where it was
handheld and his trooper car was parked in the rest are parking lot so
it wouldn't be visible. Pass the cop and around a curve were five state
troopers.

Perhaps I should bring them donuts. They would want that more than
sunscreen!

Now for the real reason for the post: I finally got my COSMIX section
updated! 280+ pics and one video later, I can't feel my fingers from all
the typing!
http://r-dub.us/cosmix/updates.html (A full list of the updates and
latest news from the construction site are on the page)

There's some great shots of bridges in various states of construction and
destruction, an accident that clustered traffic in northern COS, and
COSMIX's first major goof: taking away an auxillary lane causes 4-6 mile
backups! And it's just beginning to get ugly!

Enjoy the happiness!

I had one of these epiphanous moments in the middle of the night, and
actually had a pencil and paper handy to write it down, which I did and
promptly fell back asleep.

The next morning, I read my words of wisdom: "Onions smell funny, but
different from garlic."
