Salomone: Just two flies
Dry-fly season has begun. Most of the fly anglers I know never really put their gear away. Seems like a rod is still within reach 12 months a year. But the flies occupying pockets on fishing vests do get sidelined. Dry flies get stashed until the warmth returns and bugs become active. Those days have arrived. The dry-fly season on the Eagle River yield excellent action with just two flies.

Haims: Being ‘old’ depends on your perspective
What is “old” and how much does it vary from person to person?. Answering this question is frequently subjective and ambiguous.

After all, they were my parents’ parents — thus they were older than my parents so they had to be really old.

Letter: My condolences to Vail’s Art in Public Places
I would like to express my deepest condolences to the town of Vail’s Art in Public Places team. They have chosen to undertake a major endeavor: vetting the work and digital footprint of every potential artist in residence for a hint of political expression — even if that work does not relate to their installations intended for Vail. It’s no small task. Innumerable hours, and innumerable taxpayer dollars, it is now their duty to scour the social media, archive of interviews, and the artist’s catalog of work itself for any indication of partisanship.
