You've been terrific 'kids' while I have been laid low with my fractured wrist and surgery.
Yes, I know I have a mailbox full of your comments to moderate and post. I promise I will get to those very soon.
The other issue many of you know has been a factor over the past month is that I now live in a mountain area that has limited cell and internet signal. That issue has now been remedied thanks to the kindness and aid of 'chirkers' (bless his welding guy happy soul) who has put together a sturdy 'directional' antenna that attaches to my wireless. What a talented guy and so appreciated.
Because you have been so good and not bombarded me with 'Nanny...when will you get back? (and) 'Nanny', hurry up!'...I am going to take the blog off the global moderation only posting safeguard I've had it on. You can go back to direct posting and I'll get caught up with your moderated comments as quickly as I can.
Thank you to all who've sent 'old bones' jokes, you're really hilarious.
Let's get caught up on some of the action that affects Coloradans and get some new posts up.

SandBoxBlogs: Aspen Daily News "Snowmass Village tourism officials intertwine marketing with Aspen name"
Chad Abraham:
"Snowmass Village Councilman John Wilkinson often draws blank stares at other ski resorts, even in Colorado, when he tells fellow skiers where he resides.
But mention Aspen and it’s instant recognition, he said.
Snowmass tourism officials know the feeling. Last week, Susan Hamley, director of the town’s Snowmass Tourism office, unveiled a new advertising campaign that will tout the variety of activities not just in the village but also in Aspen and elsewhere in the valley.
One potential ad Hamley displayed to Town Council on May 21 features a photo of the Belly Up, the popular concert venue in Aspen.
The advert “plays up what we have here in Snowmass, what we have with our partners in Aspen and what you can get in the valley,” Hamley said. “We mention Aspen in the copy as well, saying that the combination of these two neighbors is powerful.”
But Hamley said in an email that the effort should not be construed as the town “abandoning our own identity.”
“While we’ve also always promoted Aspen arts and cultural organizations as well as bigger events there, our board would like to align even more with our highly recognized neighbor,” she said. “Aspen is a key differentiator for Snowmass ... not for all audiences but for many.”...."

SandBoxBlogs: Summit County Citizens Voice "Tourism: G20 countries seek to ease visa burdens"
Bob Berwyn:
"SUMMIT COUNTY —Tourism ministers from G20 countries have made a formal declaration that they’ll seek to ease visa burdens to boost international travel and tourism, seen as a way to potentially add 5 million jobs and generate $206 million in tourism revenue by 2015, according to figures from the World Tourism Organization.
The recently adopted declaration encourages G20 countries to leverage new technologies to make travel “more accessible, convenient and more efficient without a diminution of national security.” It also encourages countries look into increasing cooperation on bilateral, regional and international travel facilitation regimes.
Tourism ministers from G20 countries met May 16 with Mexican President Felipe Calderón to talk about boosting tourism, with Calderón promising that he would deliver the message to the other G20 heads of state.
WTO research shows that, of the 656 million international tourists who visited G20 countries in 2011, 110 million needed a visa, while millions more were deterred from traveling by the cost, waiting time and difficulty of obtaining a visa.
Areas of opportunity for facilitating travel include maximizing the use of information and communication technologies to improvevisa procedures, instituting electronic visa processing and establishing regional agreements for visa facilitation...." (Read more? Click title)

SandBoxBlogs: Note from Nanny "Spring Cleaning on the Blog"
Time for a little spring cleaning on SandBox.
By now, followers have noticed the revised version of bringing back the summary page feature. This is a much easier and faster format of consolidating links to favorite posts and I think we'll let it stick around, at least for now.
With that said, access to the feature will need to be done by you bookmarking the pages on your end beginning Sunday, the 8th of April. The page links on Home page will revert back to just Contact, Morning Photo and 'Rules, Regs and Worth' . There are a couple of reasons easy access won't be listed on Home page and the one I will share with you, is that the summary pages are target specific and those who use them likely have them bookmarked already. Since they are not used by the majority of followers and daily readers; I will use the home page real estate for other items. Thank you for getting your summary page bookmarks in place prior to the 8th.
The screen format has also been widened again which gives post text a little more room to spread out. I think you will find the posts are easier to read.
Our affiliate marketing vendors have not changed; we still have the same ones you've grown accustomed to seeing and using. Thank you for your continued support by purchasing through our affiliates here on SandBox. The reason some banners are not live on site is because I'm trying a new approach of switching them out through rotation.
Happy Easter weekend, everyone.
