Jeffco Crew #065 - Cinco De Mayo, Rain & Dawn Chorus
Can you believe it's May tomorrow?
I really can't, I feel like the year is just getting started in some ways.
I do have to run today, kind of got down to the wire so...
Let's get into it...
🏔️ Crew Bits
Denver Airport has the second-longest walk from the terminal entrance to the farthest gate in the entire country at over a mile - and I do feel like I've been flying out of that gate a lot.
Local charity BGOLDN needs help with drivers on Thursdays & Fridays!
There's a fairy & elf festival up in Boulder this Sunday that your kiddos will almost definitely find entertaining.
And Cafe 13 in Golden is giving you a free coffee if you show them a parking ticket you got in the last 7 days!
