Many writers are from Canada - Gardner jokes that's because the country stands to gain jobs if Colorado is hostile to the industry.

One e-mail was from Sigrid Delmotte - of Brussels, Belgium.

"Talk about constituent outreach," Gardner joked.

PUSHING HIS BUTTONS

"I'm so used to hitting red."

Seen at the Capitol, again: Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray, helping Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, with his computer.

"Ted would like to whup me, but he can't because he needs me. I do all his tech work," Brophy joked.

"I'm computer-savvy," Harvey responded. "I just don't know what he knows."
