So many new friends One of my favorite things about working this job is the people I get to meet– all the local business owners, guides, etc. that make the community what it is. But what's even better is when those people have animals. I love going to local shops, restaurants and outfitters to chat with the owners about what's cool and new, but it really makes my day when their furry friends are there too. This week, I was pleasantly surprised to meet Bridger the very friendly staff dog at Great Outdoors Company, and just a few minutes ago I was leaving an interview at Spring Creek Yoga when I was greeted by a very friendly cat that would not let me leave without petting her. About 15 minutes later, she followed me all the way to my car. Montrose has some great shop dogs and cats I've gotten to meet over the last year, and one of these days we'll have to get a business story together so y'all can meet them too, and maybe visit their humans' businesses. Cheers, Kylea Met this little kitty on the way out of a business interview today. Bridger, the shop dog at Great Outdoors, is a very good boy.

In consideration of water ... There's nary an issue as important as water. In particular in Colorado, where the Colorado River flows and feeds the West, and specifically on the Western Slope, where agricultural interests have watched as Front Range urban growth has required increasingly more of the wet stuff. Last week in Montrose, the annual West Slope Water Summit was held, allowing a regional deep dive into some of the issues surrounding the topic of water. University of Colorado professor and author Roger Pielke, Jr., spoke about decarbonization and climate change, while University of Arizona professor Connie Woodhouse spoke about using past streamflow data to inform future resource management, and other presenters delved into issues like the importance of water storage. The Montrose Daily Press is presenting the highlights from this water summit throughout this week. You can read the first article here, and check back throughout this week for additional articles. If you're looking to fully immerse yourself in this year's water summit, you can view the entire 2023 West Slope Water Summit here.
