SAN JUAN SKYWAY NOW AVAILABLE!

When my friend and mentor Elizabeth asked me if I wanted to pick up the "Telluride Official Guide" which she and her husband had been running for 10 years, I jumped at the chance for easy money - Telluride is a world class ski resort, Festival Capital of the Rockies and one of the richest towns in America. I knew I was going to make millions.

But when I found out that no one in Telluride was interested in advertising during the Great Recession with an Avatar run web site, and that the crash had left many businesses barely able to pay rent, much less advertise online, I got major discouraged.

Having only lived in Telluride for 18 months, I found it very hard to totally fit in and my discouragement only grew when I began to read the comment section of a local newspapers web site. These angry locals did not know me, but they felt the need to unfairly warn people of our web site and implied other hateful things about me (see the Crystal Angel Blog) and just about everyone anywhere - all anonymously of course.......and I thought the Moove Boards got out of hand...LOL.

After feeling blue one day over how mean people who live in the most beautiful place on the planet can be, Jill reminded me that anonymous comment sections are like bathroom walls at the Greyhound Bus Station in that anyone who has even a small thought can say anything and it makes them feel creative and important.

But you cannot judge everyone who rides the bus by what is written. LOL. So now I wash my hands after reading the local comment forums just to be safe.

Excerpts from "The San Juan Skyway" - Sneak Peek

It is not just about Telluride anymore!

Our 12 page adventure/travelogue on the San Juan Skyway begins on Monday.

Denver, Ridgway, Ouray, Silverton, Durango, Cortez, Rico, Telluride and Norwood.


Here are some excerpts for Part 1 - Due out Monday!

"Having only lived in Telluride for 18 months, I found it very hard to totally fit in and my discouragement only grew when I began to ...........

"The people are indeed wonderful and I am sure the kindness and hospitality will quickly return, but it is a hard time in this beautiful town these days and the residents of Telluride are a "passionate" bunch.

"With the Telluride community all riled up about everything, I decided to call my friend Henry54 in Tulsa and invite him and his sweety, Ailsa out to Colorado and go on a vacation with me. When in doubt...TRAVEL!. Henry and Ailsa agreed to come and hang out with me (since Mela was in France at a meeting with our financial backers) and it was decided I would pick my friends up at the Denver International Airport on the following Thursday. "

"After a long, wonderful bear hug, I went backstage to a small dressing room with Warren, He asked about Mela, Twisted Dragon and Craftie and about how things were going in Moove. I told him about the concert in Gabon and the wierd poofing; how Craftie had vanished and how Twisted was really never the same after her abduction in Brazil. "Any chance of Angel Kiss ever playing together again", Warren asked me. "I can only wish", I answered sadly. Warren got a look of pondering on his face and he smiled. "Well, tonight is tonight", he said as he handed me a rough draft of the playlist. "I think it is best if we start out with "Gold Dust Woman" and just let things flow from there", he added as we both got up. "Sounds Good", I answered confidently although I was all jitters since I had not performed since Africa. I lost them as soon as the introduction was over and the lights came on."

"We discussed our planned vacation all the way to Ridgway, with Ailsa and Henry getting more excited with each passing mile. Upon arriving in town, we went directly to our lodging at the Chipeta Sun Lodge to freshen up and relax before strolling into the town center. Once checked into our luxurious room, I could tell it was going to be tough getting any of us to leave the grounds of the Chipeta Sun Lodge"

"A pair of ghostly cowboys, high on their mounts, came galloping across an unknown desert, causing dust to rise into the blazing orange sky. I could not make out the features on their faces or the fabric of their attire. Whether it was the sun setting in my line of vision or the fact they did not wish to be seen I cannot say, but the outline of the dark bodies showed strength."

"Upon reachin' Silverton, ye will search fur a wooden cabin wi' a peeled willow-wain placed athwart a half-open duir. ignair tradition an' enter thes duir. the owner has seen thee wee bits ay tea stems floatin' in a cuppa, he is expectin' ye.He turned his horse and glanced back at me one time and said, "Keep a stoot heart tae a stey brae, Keep a stoot heart tae a stey brae"

Big Baby, born of a carnival sideshow couple, roamed the rugged mountains between Ouray and Silverton. At more than 400 pounds, Big Baby wore on a crudely made diaper as he sought sustinence from man and beast alike."

Recession or Depression - Only 1930 Really Knows

There is an old joke that goes like this:
A Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A Depression is when you lose your job. If you are one of those that has lost your job, the joke is not very funny.

The difference between the two terms is kinda confusing because those really smart people who call themselves Economists cannot even agree which is which. All I know is that things are as tough as they have ever been for many people.

I am a lucky person, since I have not known any real Recessions or Depressions. When I was growing up, a good year was when all the stock sold at the auction. A bad year was when too many horses were up for sale and the prices were driven down. All that meant to me was that I wore last years clothes, ate more elk than beef (if hunting season was good) and neighbors helped each other out more than usual.

Things are different now. I can tell things are hard all over. People are losing their homes, jobs are vanishing and even my town in Real is scared.
I decided that before I could write an article on how to survive the Great Recession, I needed to make sure we were really in one. So I set out to discover if this hard time right now is a Recession or a Depression?

Answering that can get kinda technical, so I will not try to explain it since I really do not understand it myself. I do know that a recession has to do with Gross Domestic Products and how many quarters it declines. ( I think it is two)

The popular definition of a Recession is not really right (I do not think), for two reasons. First, it does not take into account changes in other economic areas. For example it ignores the unemployment rate and a thing called consumer confidence, which is exactly what it sounds like - how much confidence in the economy does a consumer have. If they are confident, they will buy things and vice versa. This is important because the United States is a consumer driven economy. For the record, in 1930 the United States was an Industry driven economy.

The second reason is that they measure the economy at three months at a time (or quarterly). This makes it hard to decide when a recession begins or ends.

Since we cannot really agree what a Recessions is, what about a Depression; can we figure that one out?

Before the Great Depression of the 1930s, any time the economy was struggling they called it a

Depression. Later, they made up the term Recession to differentiate periods like the 1930s from smaller economic declines that occurred in 1910 and 1913. This leads to the simple definition of a Depression as a Recession that lasts longer and has a larger decline in business activity. Simple huh?

So, are we in a Depression right now or a Recession? I sometimes joke that the only reason it is a Recession and not a Depression is because we are not in black and white like all those photos of people standing in bread lines back in the 1930's. Being in full color as we are now takes the gloom out of it.

To figure things out, Mela and I decided to head back to 1930 using the Cosmic String method of time travel we learned last year. We have never traveled backwards, just forwards and we really had no idea on the effects we would have on the time/space continuum - if any.

Although the adventure was nothing like we expected, we did discover the difference between a Recession and a Depression.

A Depression is any economic downturn where real GDP (Gross National Product) declines by more than 10 percent. A Recession is an economic downturn that is less severe. TA DA.

By using this definition, the last Depression in the United States was from May 1937 to June 1938, where real GDP declined by 18.2 percent. Also, if we use this definition with the Great Depression of the 1930's it was really two different events. The first being an incredibly severe Depression lasting from August 1929 to March 1933 where real GDP declined by almost 33 percent.

Between 1933 and 1937, things got a bit better and there was a recovery of sorts followed by another, less severe Depression between 1937 and 1938. Since then, the United States hasn’t had anything even close to a Depression since the end of World War II.

The worst Recession in the last 60 years was from November 1973 to March 1975, where real GDP fell by 4.9 percent. Other countries (such as Finland and Indonesia) have suffered Depressions more recently using this definition.

Now you know the difference between a Recession and a Depression, but the real question is "are we in a Depression or a Recession right now". Let's go find out!
