Something in the Air – Boulder’s National Center for Atmospheric Research

Humans have always had a complicated relationship with weather. Ancient cultures prayed and made offerings to gods in hopes of receiving conditions conducive to growing crops.

Humans have always had a complicated relationship with weather. Ancient cultures prayed and made offerings to gods in hopes of receiving conditions conducive to growing crops. Adverse weather, then, was often interpreted as displeasure on behalf of those same beings—a punishment for failing to observe proper rituals.

Very, very, very few people make it through their teen years unscathed. Some people don’t make it through at all. It’s bad enough being a teenager, the acne eruptions, the hormonal explosions, and all the attendant drama that comes with the age. Suppose there’s more than that?

If I look at you straight on…I can’t. One eye is always a little introverted, as if it’s not quite ready…

  The idea for Boulder's Nederland Carousel of Happiness was born in the horrors of the Vietnam War. As Scott Harrison worked to survive, he dreamed of carving. Once safely back from the war, he took the next 26 years restoring and creating parts of a carousel. He found a Wurlitzer, an ancestor of a synthesizer, for a sound system. His main carousel mechanism came from the Great Salt Lake. His animals, to complete the carousel, were 100% carved and painted by Scott.
