• “Boys, picture this: You and your best friend Lloyd are driving to Aspen. Lloyd misses the turn. You didn’t think he could get any dumber. He trades your van in for a motorcycle straight up. It get’s 70 miles to the gallon. He totally redeems himself. Life is good.” — @HixsonJudson
• “The Maroon Bells are known the world around. This landmark agreement between @wradv, @WildforGood & @cityofaspen will prevent dams from forever changing this iconic landscape, while still providing for #Aspen’s future water needs. Help us say ‘Thank You!’” — @ricktrilsch
The Aspen Times can be found on Twitter, as well. Simply type “TheAspenTimes” (no spaces) into the search bar, and get daily updates on what’s happening in the Roaring Fork Valley.
