Should Boulder MDs be trained in med school in the art of “psychic surgery?” My conclusion is that “yes, this should be offered as an elective in medical school.”  I see no downside, while I see a vast array of possible benefits to the treating physicians as well as to the patients. Why would I […]

Boulder does not keep it secret that flower color combinations always look amazing! Are these ongoing happy accidents of nature? NO! Nature has a plan based upon everything from bio-diversity to pollinator eye appeal. Complimentary colors yellow and purple are everywhere including in flowers. But why? Flower color combinations within a single flower always look […]

Our United States Founding Documents define our system of government and our reasons for forming the government to begin with. What IS the Declaration of Independence?? How many copies are there? Why do we read it aloud, passing around a copy, at our BBQ? For this morning, and in celebration of the Fourth of July, […]

Our classic Boulder fireworks show, and the shows of our neighbors have evolved over the years. What was once the province of explosives, rockets, and colorful loud displays of pyrotechnics has morphed.

As the celebration of Gay Pride winds down, a fitting Faces of Boulder Pic of the Day comes from a drag queen show at Morning Glory in Lafayette.    

On Friday night, Morning Glory in Lafayette hosted a Drag Queen Show. My first. Debi’s first. What craziness! This was a mix of adult humor, a parade of the Khloe Khloecrew, and cross-dressing men.
