Boulderites almost all take selfies. But what about pictures of selfies? I was having a fantastic  lunch, and saw across from me, these three younger people taking a selfie. I shot a sequence, got a nodding “ok” permission to take pictures, and came up with these to tell a story. What Do You Think? Do […]

As time marches forward, many relics of the past are left behind, and some are best forgotten – like pre-novacaine dentistry. Some things, however, are symbols of the elegance of a bygone age. The shaving mug is a perfect example of a piece of elegance from the past, lost to electric shavers and to Harry’s […]

  Boulder is in the center of world for many things. Denver lies 40 minutes to our South-East. To the immediate North-West, about the same distance away, lies Rocky Mountain National Park: a gem by which the sparkle of all other gems is measured. Once upon a time, before COVID-19, getting out of the park […]

I’ve been hearing about and reading about Kratom for a while now. But what is it? What does it do? Is it a good, legal, medical or recreational substance or another human mass experiment into the unknown? As to legal, that’s easy. It varies all over the place so local and state investigation is essential. […]

Again I headed to RMNP (Rocky Mountain National Park). I had to make it through the entry gates at Estes Park before 9 AM, lacking a timed entry ticket. Entry before 9 AM meant flashing my Golden Eagle pass and driver’s license and no more. I made it with at least 5-10 minutes to spare. […]

Some Boulderites have gambling problems. With casinos at home in Colorado, near Boulder and Denver, and with ‘go-anywhere’ on-line gambling offered at the end of our fingertips, there is no shortage of legal gambling available. I suspect, although I don’t know, that I can bet on the election with an on-line casino. I wonder what […]
