It’s Shark Week, and I’m proud to announce: Colorado remains 100% shark attack-free. 🦈 Since 1876, our state has recorded zero shark attacks - we are tied as the safest state in the nation with several others for lowest risk of shark attack, and I’m proud to report that our perfect record remains intact under my governorship.

Partly cloudy and dry today across the Denver metro, but an unsettled pattern returns for most of the upcoming week. Daily chances for showers/t-storms are in the forecast Monday through Thursday. Temperatures will be in the low to mid 80s most of the week. #COwx

When you are driving along a major interstate and you miss your exit do you: A) keep driving and get off at the next one or B) come to a complete stop, cause a multi-car rear-end crash and then drive away HINT: The answer is NEVER B. Do not be this driver.
