Some dogs whisper their presence with a quiet wag and a gentle look. Others make sure you know exactly how they’re feeling. Jeter falls proudly into that second category. Today’s Boulder’s Dog of the Day captures Jeter mid-bark—confident, expressive, and fully engaged with the world around him. This isn’t an angry bark or a worried bark. This is a statement bark. The kind that says, “I’m here, I’m alert, and I’ve got something to say.” In Boulder, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re personalities. And barking is one of the most natural ways dogs communicate. Jeter’s…

Just a short drive above Boulder sits a place that feels untouched by time, crowds, and noise. Winter is when Gold Hill truly shines. The snow softens everything. The pace slows.

A Winter Drive That Instantly Changes Your Perspective The drive up to Gold Hill is part of the experience. As you climb above Boulder, the city fades quickly and the foothills take over.

In my professional life, such as it is, I’ve caught one huge break. I’m not someone who’s made a titanic amount of money, and can spend like a drunken Trump donor.

I’ve had bosses that were competent, bosses that were opportunistic, and bosses that were checked out. But I’ve never had one that was a delightful co…

There is a different kind of motivation in Boulder, and it doesn’t come from loud music, flashy slogans, or someone yelling through a microphone.

Boulder trains for consistency. This is a town where effort is part of the landscape and training isn’t something you announce—it’s something you do. Progress here happens one step at a time, one mile at a time, one early morning at a time. Motivation…
