Have you ever wondered whether cannabis actually makes Boulderites hungry? Is there any “real” science to support the “stoned munchies?” As we have always known, the answer is a resounding “YES!” Diet control as to timing, choices, and quantities are key to good health and to feeling good. And the latest science confirms that in […]

Photo Lenny Lensworth Frieling Photo Lenny Lensworth Frieling Whether it is hive collapse or some other challenge to our bee population, our very existence relies upon the health of our pollinators  worldwide.

  As always, the lighting on the mountains  and the lighting on clouds is never the same. If we insist on being technical, this is a sunrise, not a sunset. BUT I love the image. And if a reader were to see this in the morning, Friday morning for example, then we’d have the sun […]

We know I am a tad crazy. Along that train of thought, today’s Featured Dog is a pair of GOATS! I suppose that since Rocky Mountain Goats are not goats at all, but are instead bovines, it makes sense that a pair of goats could substitute for a dog, at least for a Thursday! Why […]

Osprey While the Great Blue Heron seems at home in Southern Florida, it has always seemed to me to be a summer bird visiting Boulder. One of the Great Blues must have visited some years ago, and has forever returned. Niwot’s Curse in action! When Boulderites travel, which we do frequently, we take cameras! We […]

Seeing Eye-dogs, or guide dogs, have always fascinated me, and I suspect have also fascinated many of my fellow Boulderites. Their work seems impossible. The training is inconceivable. All in all, while the end result is wonderful, it is quite obvious that this is all fiction. It is of course IMPOSSIBLE to really train a […]

Let’s open with an early sunrise picture, and then progress to Longs a little later in the morning. I have observed that even after 49 years of seeing Longs Peak and the front range/divide, it never looks the same. The light changes. The clouds change. The mountains uplift (although that does not change much day-to-day), […]

Jeff Beck could certainly make a Fender Stratocaster bark. One player could make the “e” string “walk the dog” in the classic yoyo move.  A guitar played by a PLAYER can play a lick that can lick your face and leave you wanting more. With that rationalization for posting a guitar article in place of […]

In Boulder as everywhere, AI as a tool is one of the most important topics in current academic discussion. It represents a paradigm shift in the world as we know it. The magic in the interplay of artist and AI is in how the human asks the questions. Once again, it is the challenge of […]
