Colorado has become a State of Mortal Sin, but that's another discussion for another time on another chat board.

As to when the B line will ever be finished is anyone's guess. "Funding shortage" is the excuse being tossed around at this time. There is a planned stop almost right where I work, near the IBM plant on the Diagonal, but I'll be retired by the time it gets finished. Even the N line isn't built all the way out. It only goes as far as Eastlake-124th. The remaining 5.5 miles to 162nd Ave. will be built, "when funding becomes available." Kind of like the IRT Nostrand Ave. branch that was never extended past Flatbush Ave.

We actually visited Rocky Mountain National Park while on vacation in 1970. Our last stops were Colorado Springs and Boulder before heading back east and home. We drove right by the Gates plane and my mother said, "See? There a rubber products plant here!" Little did we know that eight years later, my father would be working for Gates after taling early retirement from Uniroyal.
