Neato!! There is a great black bass opera singer whose middle name is "Speedo". His deadbeat Dad named him that because he liked to wear speedos to swim in.
When I lived in Denver I bought a first class ticket on a Summer excursion on the Ski Train from Denver Union Station to Winter Park, Colorado via the over 6 mile long Moffat Tunnel that passes under the continental divide. First class included food in a small snack bar in the middle of the car and wider seats that were only 3 across instead of 4 across in 2nd class. On my ticket I was assigned to the Utah car of the train. When I was ready to board the train there was no Utah car. There was a conductor on the platform that told all the people who were supposed to be on the Utah car to go to the unnamed car at the end which looked the same orange and grey on the outside like all the other cars. Turned out that the air conditioning on the Utah car was not working and they replaced it with the private salon car that belonged to billionaire Philip Anschutz who at the time owned the Union and Southern Pacific Railroads and the Ski Train. The seats were actual queen anne winged backed chairs upholstered in dark blue velvet not attached to the floor and 2 chairs across and 2 couches facing each other in the middle of the car. Their was a long bar in the corner that served delicious food which they called apres ski buffet style on both trips to and from. The bar and the walls were made of carved mahogany and the glass lampshades were victorian style.
Celestial Seasoning tea factory in Boulder, Colorado. I went on the tour over 20 years ago. They paid me 5 dollars to taste and critique a new orange tea they were testing out. They also gave me a free package of cold brew spiced tea. After the tour they invite you to drink all the free tea (and cookies) you want in the employee break room. Going into the mint room was fun because it cleared my sinuses.
