pic Lenny Lensworth Frieling Our Boulder yard has had foxes. We think there were three families displaced by recent significant commercial development at a major intersection in the East County. For a month or so we had foxes in the neighborhood. From kits playing in the road, looking like dogs playing with a tennis […]

    Since living in Boulder I have been using the phrase “Shared Knowledge is Power.” It lit up in neon in my mind in 1998 during a think tank portion of a conference. We were designing the then-new VALE Victim and Law Enforcement Board. A “surtax” was added to all fines and used to […]

  Boulderites, visitors, and adults throughout Colorado face a major challenge. “Now that I’ve legally bought my weed, where can I smoke it?? This could be the single most difficult question facing marijuana consumers, visitors or residents,  presented by legalization. Bud tenders are asked on a daily basis “where can I smoke the weed I […]

  Sunrises in Boulder are like sunsets in many other places. They can surpass even our wonderful sunsets. One must get up early and stay up late. Boulder‘s less good news. Washington State beat the Lady Buffs in the last game of this season. We say “good bye for now and THANKS! to Buckshot, #00, […]

Roulette in our local gaming towns, Central City, Blackhawk, and Cripple Creek, are very close at hand to us in Boulder. As a bonus, the ride up and back takes us through our local mind-boggling mountain canyons. The views are worth the entire expedition. The ride on Peak to Peak alone from Nederland going South […]

  As the sun rises over our Boulder Valley it shines on our Lady Buffs. The excitement of the final game of the season pervades the Valley! And I get to share my tale of re-discovering my Buff status. I did not realize that I was and am a BUFF!!! Do I have a degree […]

  The Lady Buffs are gearing up for an exciting game against Washington State tomorrow, and anticipation is high for standout performances from key players. The Lady Buffs have been on a winning streak, showcasing their skills and teamwork in recent games. They have demonstrated remarkable prowess on the court, notably in their last game […]

  Cool! Ongoing Boulder Success!  We made it, and we succeeded! Were my true feelings to be expressed, I’d have way too many exclamation points in the punctuation. After almost 50 years of legal writing with perhaps not a single “!!!” or even a simple “!”  Using bold was a bold move. Italics were ok […]

  Even our neighbor the Coyote is happy about the sun rising over the victorious Boulder Valley and It’s Buffs! Even our guests from Washington have to appreciate the beauty of the Valley. It is truly glorious to wake up to. While the crowd was a bit thin, we were jubilant and truly enthused. The […]

When I travel from Boulder to our our local mountain casinos or to ones in distant destinations,  I like slot machines. I’m prefer the mechanical ones over of the electronic video ones. On my recent visit to the Miami Hard Rock Casino I encountered slot machines which were  video on the side as an option. […]
