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. […]

Why am I doing a second blog on DUI? Because it is that important! So far  we have over 100 arrests during the […]

Boulder’s gem of a mall, world-class in its classiness, and there for all to enjoy, once again plays host to art. Today, Labor Day Sunday, is the last day for this year’s craft fair. We just hosted an art fair which served as a display platform for a gaggle of great artists with their creations. […]

Young immature birds are referred to as “pinheads” for some types of birds. The Eastern Blue Jay, who appears in great numbers in our Lafayette yard, is a great example of  a “pinhead” when they are young and immature. This visitor is especially cute.
