What is one thing that a lot of people dont want to talk about this thanksgiving . Politics, mr. It kell conversations at the dinner table. A pole shows 77 of americans are divided, a new high. The topic of recent Election Results may come up in conversation and that can lead to just a really bad taste in your mouth. Were not talking about your aunts homemade cranberry sauce. How do you a the conversations or avoiding them . Try to stick to nonthreatening conversation like sports and pop culture and even the weather. Dont take the bait. Just avoid it. Dont feel like you have to engage because it may lead to an argument. You never know what somebody is going to say. If youre going to go there, do it with compassion, if you have any, after eating the turkey. If you are going to talk about persons opinion and respect their views. Its always about respect. And i think its about weather. Theres a lot to talk about this morning. Wind here, windy conditions keeping us in the upper 40s today and it will feel about 5 10 degrees cooler than that because of the strong wind, especially this morning, running between 2540 mph between now and noon and dropping down this afternoon by sunset or a little after, pretty much calm around here. We the Continental Divide. We have seen snow in the foothills of boulder county, the northwest side, around wonderview, and this is berthoud pass, and its windy, and for most areas along and west of the divide, between now and around noon, about a 13 holiday, dieticians say theres options, like swapping mash lifm r me, on eat it all, and get back on can with a westerly winds, ttin50 mph airporso we have strong wind minutes or so and as the storm goes out the moisture moves out. By lunchtime, at the very latest, for the entire state and in fact the entire region. With this wind its ing to be chilly, low upper 40s, low 50s, that will feel a little closer to the upper 30s and low 40s because of all the wind. Looks good. Thank you very much. You may not think a turkey and a dog have anything in common at all, right. But leon the turkey seems to he acts more like a dog than a bird, or maybe its a perfectly timed act this year.
