Advertising in the Denver area is alive and well. Ever since we closed on the house on April 7th we have been receiving ads for various services. I don't know whether it is the realtor or the title company selling names or someone paid to check public records but it only took a couple of days before the deluge of ads hit. We're heard from lawn services, remodeling companies, dentists, painters, furniture stores, food stores. The most persistent has been a home alarm company. We even heard from a preschool (at our age a waste of paper and bulk mailing), an animal hospital (over my dead body), and a CPA offering tax services.

Seen in a MacDonald's on a T-shirt worn by a girl of about middle school age:
"DON'T BOTHER ME! I'M TEXTING."
