Why your grocery store shelves will be clear of eggs if you live in Cheyenne, Sidney, or Raton

Neighbors of Big Green Rectangle, be advised.

A new law prohibiting the sale of non-cage-free eggs in Colorado will go into effect in January

Don't get me wrong. I'm about as big of a fan of natural agriculture, if that makes sense, as a person can be. I'm cool with free-range eggs, or whatever this amounts to. And I'm opposed to factory farming pretty much.

But what does this sudden change mean for Colorado?

My guess is, no eggs.

And, I'll bet, fewer eggs on the shelves in border towns.

This should be interesting. Colorado started off with the right wing dream of packing every square inch of the state with people for economic reasons, and got a left wing imported populace. There's a lot of egg eating going on.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
