Many Boulderites believe that a dog adopted/rescued from a humane society shelter understands that they were rescued, and display gratitude. Anthropomorphizing is always  suspect, especially with me. I also am confident that I have seen this phenomenon repeatedly, and I know others report the same thing. Our neighbor’s pup, Max, is a two year old […]

We use power tools, hand tools, kitchen knives, and a myriad of items with sharp edges, fast moving parts, and other traps for our various body parts. Sometimes we end up with blood, either ours or from […]

Born January 27, 1756, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is 268 years old today. I do not believe the rumor that he was born in Boulder. Arguably the Beatles of his time, or vice versa, his ear for melody remains unmatched. Putting the Beatles in the same sentence is a BOLD move, and one with which I […]
