Hiking this evening just off little park road... 🥾 🌵
When hiking the Western Slope ... you can either just see the brown ... or you can see the beauty all around.
A cactus 🌵 showing a red roof top ... a bird 🐦 blending into the background. Small lizards 🦎 dot the rocks that they disappear into ... the blue sky seems so high as it paints contrast to the many hues that streak the boulders and striations that are chameleons at the mercy of the sun and clouds.
Rocks that look like turtle's and stones within stones within stones...bedazzled beads of natures art ...
See the beauty ... be the positive.
This is a fear a lot of us have ... including me.

Spiritual cup of coffee! 🌵 🏜️
Happy Wednesday! 🌞❤️
Giddy-up! Buttercup! Hiking 'Clunker' ...
8-14-24 🌞
9am. 🕘
Me & Buttercup having a coffee date ( before a quick hike at lunch loop) at Starbucks on 25 road ... she just had a 'pup cup ' -
I remember back in 2007 ...I was finishing up a six month rehab ... I would would ride my bicycle here to just think and feel normal. My Future was opaque. Nicole ( who still works here!)! was super nice - and would say it will get better. It did. ( few bumps along the way) - she was here today. She brought Buttercup the 'pup cup'. Good people. 🙏👍
I've said this before ... you have to have positive people in your world to make it. We / I create our own energy and future. Visualize, be pro-active and always have a smile and hope. And a have a DREAM!
Tough moments make victories even sweeter. Life is not perfect. People aren't perfect ...
And as Dr. Sean says :
" “You're not perfect, sport, and let me save you the suspense: this girl you've met, she's not perfect either. But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other."
Buttercup is perfect ... and this is ...a hopeful start to my day. ❤️🌞

Happy Tuesday ! 🌎🎉👍🎶
Got this note this morning from a TV Producer - Gray Television, Inc. - our 140-ish - Gray Affiliates had the option to carry my Allgood News stories from Alaska's News Source .. In my my 2 short years up in Anchorage - a lot did and they aired ... across the country ( some moose 🫎 prehistoric bones but mostly - wonderful people- made world 🌎 news ) - even KKCO & KJCT here in junction used my stories. ( the irony - lol) ... CNN & other TV content sharing services as well- and although I've yet to land a job here in the lower 48. ( to be honest I haven't looked too hard - enjoying the sun 🌞 cycling and hiking since I got back 2 weeks ago! 🥾!🎉🌞) I'm so grateful. 🙏❤️
But there is a beauty and connection just telling a story, a moment and an experience -without- any conflict, politics or division.
A human's moment in time ...of good, joy or just snapshots of life...
Allgood News.
Here's the note I received today:
----------------------------------
Hi Dave,
My name is Michael and I am a senior producer at WNDU, a Gray station in South Bend, Ind.
I’ve been wanting to thank you for your work for a long time, but have just now had the time to properly devote to it.
I have always loved your “Allgood News,” and for a while when I was producing shows, I would make every effort to run yours for our audience whenever you had a new one.
I got into news to do that kind of storytelling, and I see your work as a prime example of TV news at its finest - no good guys or bad guys, no anger or division, just good storytelling - documenting life at its finest.
One of my favorites was the report you did on the renaissance fair! So many people, even my own teammates, tend to write off people with that kind of passion for their niche hobbies. But your work not only gave them a chance to be themselves, but you really allowed them to shine at their best.
I suppose I’m starting to ramble - so just think of this as a note from a fan/ otherwise burnt-out journalist thanking you for reminding him of all the fun this can be.
Take care, and God Bless
--------------------------------
Thank you Michael!
What a Nice way to wake up. ☕️ ❤️
It's hard to explain to a 'newsie' News Director the positive impact that a good, caring and honest 'Community ' Reporter can have for their audience. Seeing your friends and neighbors on TV for GOOD news ... IT is priceless...
So I'm enjoying a month of hiking and cycling , my wife! and rescue pets... sunshine 🌞 and life!
So ...
If you want to win viewers ( just call Tracy Sabo ( my KTUU Awesome News Director!) - or any of my references or anybody who has seen my work- ) and you want make people feel good and smile!? 😊
The Allgood News is open for offers 👍❤️🎉🙏!
But I need two more weeks of hiking and cycling to fill my Colorado cup of goodness!
I'm available starting September 1st ... 2024.
Call me : 970-712-7627
Keep Strong & Carry On! 👍

Well - this wasn't on my bingo card -
Sitting here at the closing arguments of the Tina Peters trial here in the Mesa County Courthouse-
Peters faces seven felony charges, including attempting to influence a public servant, identity theft, criminal impersonation and conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation. The jury will also consider three misdemeanors: first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty and failure to comply with the requirements of the Secretary of State.
Jodi loves her YouTube trials and at 8:30 this morning she said " Hey! Let's see if we can get in to see the closing arguments!"
And here we are!
Boom 💥...
My observations so far ...
Jury looks young -
I need more coffee ☕️ ... and being a Features Reporter - I could not see a career where I had to sit through all the procedural hours and minutiae that are the REAL parts of the judicial process...
I hope to be biking by noon! 🚴
Jodi is happy 😃...
That's a win! 🥇
Jury instructions ... 💤
I can't remember the last time I chewed gum.
4 jurors are chewing gum! Hmmmm!

Finally! 2 years in the making!
Got the 'OLD' gang back together! Sure - Can't see, a couple extra pounds and p*e a lot! And that's just me! Cha cha! 😂💥

Sunday ... a new day. 🌞
Life is funny ... kinda.
My past serves me as lessons and cautionary tales ... it is not a place to live or to dwell in ... the future needs me.
I will continue to make mistakes ... but I learn and move forward.
Have a good day!

Taking a pit stop at the Glade Park store ... Yum. 😋
August 3 , 2024
Day 3 cycling. Headed up to Glade Park. Had to stop under this delicious shade !
Nice! 👍
🎶 Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I don't know about anyone, but me
If it takes all night, that'll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
Look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes, I see them running too
Running on (running on empty)
Running on (running blind)
Running on (running into the sun)
But I'm running behind 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Running on Empty but Running Wild! 🎶🌵🍀
🎶I don't even know what I'm hoping to find ... I'm just running

Good evening 🌇!
Taking a break. 🐢 🐌
Snuck in a short ride on the Colorado National Monument this evening... Had to get the bike out! Beautiful evening.
The heat and altitude are testing me. Ran a couple miles at lunch loop this morning. Feel a bit light headed and tired. But it's All-Good! ❤️🎉
Acclimating back home is wonderful and a reality check ...
my two year years in Anchorage were amazing... but now I'm just Dave - a schmuck who laughs at his own jokes!
Thanks to you all for the support and the opportunity to prove to myself that I could in fact be a good employee and storyteller.
Okay ... this is my last post for a while.
Until I land a job. I hit social media hard the last two years for my job and to let those of you who care about me know I was doing good.
🎶 Do me wrong, do me right, tell me lies but hold me tight , save your goodbyes for the morning 🌞 light ... don't let me be lonely tonight. 🎶
Love ❤️ & Hugs 🤗 and bed bugs 🐞! Haha.
If you want to chat about life and butterflies or maybe you just have a dream or joy so big - you just can't contain ...Feel free to message me ... I'll check my messenger. 🎉❤️
Time to decompress get off social media - and just enjoy life a bit without posting about it. lol. 👍🎉🎈
Time for a little self - reflection and serious thinking about my next chapter.
Grateful ! 🥹

In my 50's I finally got sober. Real sober.
Couple years ago - I landed a job at Alaska's News Source - I worked everyday. Host/ Write/ Shoot / Edit Produced -245 - 2:30 Human/fun/animal/community Allgood News Stories. In addition I hosted a wonderfully popular hour-long - Feature Show on our CBS & NBC Stations.🚉
3 Allgood News Specials -
Stories picked up regularly by CNN - our Gray TV affiliates and national shows. and a couple of my stories went big.
Mind you this after getting sober working at FedEx - road crews and Barnes & Noble -
So- on July 24,2024
I - Dave Allgood - Completed my first TV contract. ( 👏 insert fake and over-the-top applause here 👏 ) ...The Allgood News is extremely popular - Alaska embraced me. ❤️The station and the community embraced the idea that " Everybody has a Story! "
From people dealing with cancer to swimming with dogs in a canine pool. From emotional to comedy to 'did you know ' - to the arts - and just interviewing the first person I see at a park or my neighbor or the mail-person ... a sample of - Thats the Allgood News. 👍❤️🎉
I Won a couple of awards over the last 22 months ( insert more fake and over-the-top applause here 🙄😂)- the latest is the Society of Professional Journalists " Best Features " ( I'm told that's a
Good one ?)
BUT I had to come home to Colorado. ( becuase im a sober and a responsible adult now! 😂- with a wife and 5 rescue pets that I LOVE !❤️) !!!
So to any of you General Managers & News Dirctors out there - who want to go " hey Herb - I got a crazy idea! " - The crazy idea that worked pretty well for News Director - Tracy Sabo ( just ask her!) - at Alaska's News Source - could work for you! Cha cha! " Let's hire this recovering guy! Stay with me ... " ( and you p*ek 👀 their intrest! Ta da! 🎉) 👀
I'm available to a TV station here in the lower 48 that Values GOOD News ( the Allgood News garnered sponsors soon after it began an airing - so I pay for myself!) yipp*e! 🥳
Oh
And - if you value - community & and a guy who worked 20 jobs before getting into TV in his late 30's. I just connect with a wide-range of people because I've done everything from commercial fishing to throwing bags at airports - framing houses to going to rehab 5 times. I'm happily Sober these days. - grateful and not bad at telling stories.
And I'm chatty!
Dave Allgood
My resume / References / YouTube links are all pinned up top.
Or - GOOGLE IT! Ha ha. ( trying to make it easy for ya!)
Okay - after being gone for two years - as you might imagine I have a phone-book list of 'honey-doos ' from my loving and patient wife Jodi Allgood - nothing like picking up p**p and mowing in 100 degrees. It's life changing. 😂
So I'm off to do 'handy-stuff' and do some much needed desert 🏜️ hiking and cycling.
Hey! You're still here! ??

NOTE:
Finally - it's nice being on the Western Slope again.
I'm taking a break from social media until I get hired. Social Media is a must in the media business - taking a break? - It's a nice way to disconnect and focus on other things in my world - writing / music / self-reflection just listening. ❤️
So goodbye for now...

I will check my 'Messages' on here. 🎉👍❤️

In two weeks I will anchor my last show and air my last Allgood News story here in Alaska. Some random thoughts from taking a smoke break at the track and pickles and acuity. Cha cha! Have a good evening. Dave
6-19-24 The thing with consistency is ...you have to do it everyday. Over 3 months at the track - haven't missed a day. Lost 22 pounds... and I don't want to find them ever again! It was a long cold winter of eating! lol. 😂 I'm older man! Those pounds want to stick to ya - like Velcro!
Grateful for all of it. Every day...me and my brain go round and round.
Sunday 6-9-24 I have to prove to me that I'm worth it and valuable everyday... talk is cheap. Action is the ONLY way I stay sober and show gratitude. 🙏
Can somebody please explain the hockey penalty box - and power plays. Icing? Offsides. Florida had three guys in the penalty box but yet they had 5 guys on the ice??? Hockey is wacky ?!!!
5-30-24 Change - good things and I could use a few prayers for me to stay focused and diligent as I charge toward a major goal in my work life. Not only completing a wonderful 2 year contract up here - but also now for the first time having options and support going into the next Chapter of the Allgood News. So thank you. I'd be lying if I didn't say I was a little cautiously optimistic- and a bit scared? ( might not be the right word) Maybe nervous. But happily so ... Thank so much, Dave
