Really? People should be rewarded for simply doing what they should do regardless? I'm all for creating incentives for people to do the right thing, but, seriously? The incentive for "telling the truth" is that you don't get slammed with an aggravating charge, the prosecutor or judge considers your honesty in a plea/sentencing, or the like - but the days of "oh, cute, you're drunk and driving, come on, buddy, let's get ya home and forget this happened" are gone. And for good reason, because, actually, that's how people got/get killed (e.g. the time they don't get caught early enough and taken home).

This reminds me of the days when I was a firefighter training at the Boulder County Regional Fire Training Facility back when it was on Lee Hill Road.

Folks bought property next to a decades old fire training facility and then complained about the noise and smoke from firefighter training.

Seriously?

Funny how a "BldrRepublican" wants the government to come meddle in this matter when it's about his/her issue.

Where's the platform of "small, unobtrusive" government now when the "free market" is running a business near you that happens to annoy you?

You know what else is the "free market"? You bought a house there, in the flight path of planes near an airport. The data for flight paths is easily available, do your due diligence or don't complain when businesses are operating in a legal, well-understood manner.

The problem, unfortunately, is that those businesses making a huge profit off of selling wildly marked up alcohol to captive audiences at places like sporting venues, etc see this as loosening that grip and are relatively effectively using/misusing the public interest/regulatory regimes to protect their vapid business models.

The concessionaires at sporting venues and other captive situations (airlines/airports, etc) have long proven they do not enjoy competition. Anything that threatens to weaken the gravy train they've established of the $7 Coors Light, $12 "Microbrews" (which aren't even good ones), and $10 under-poured ****tails will absolutely have them sending their lobbyist complaining to their local friendly-politician about how this must be stopped "in the public interest".

(EDIT: wow! You can't say that word for mixed drink that starts with a c on here without being auto-censored!)

In the "little things that don't really matter but happen to really bother people with a certain disposition" (unfortunately, such as myself) category:

Article says it was a sedan. Caption to picture says that was the car involved.

That is not a sedan in the picture, it appears to be a coupe. Something does not add up in this single-vehicle involved incident report.

It's interesting that the article highlights A-Basin as the "satellite" resort. While certainly not along the lines of the large resorts with base-area accommodations, the article really *seems* like it should focus on places like Ski Cooper, Powderhorn, or any other of the good, smaller resorts in CO that don't accept/aren't a part of the Epic Pass, Rocky Mountain Super Pass, etc.

Really, calling going to A-Basin "branching out" when it's included in the large pass products is a bit of a stretch...

Judge Patrick Butler is making no sense: "You've been given more chances than you probably deserve," Butler said. "This is the last chance from me to show that you are not a danger to the community while out on bond."

Seriously? Yes, Judge Butler, you're right, she's been given way more chances (and squandered them) than she deserves, so in your next breath, why did you give her more? Keep her out of our community until justice does its work and she's served her sentence or is exonerated.

A quick perusal of even my relatively meager supply of household cleaners & chemicals reveals a bevy of things I'd never want in my drinking water, water I bathe/brush my teeth with, swim in, or use to water my plants. Even in these small household quantities.

Bleach, caustic cleaners, and other things around the house are bad enough in the quantities we have them in (does this study and its researchers somehow think just because it's at home it's safe?), let alone the quantities they're used in in extractive processes.

If you let this study give you a (false) sense of security, why don't you just whip yourself up a WD-40 manhattan next time you make a drink and give it a swig - hey, it's a common household chemical!

I gave this place a try a few times because I generally like the concept. They've been open for about a year now (I think?), and absolutely agree with the review but have to say, they should be past the "work in progress" phase by now...it wasn't good when it opened (either quality of food or value for price/size) and it most certainly hasn't improved.

For the same price you can get more food, of better quality, and absolutely better flavor at the ridiculous $8.49/lb Whole Foods salad bar...

Small portions of bland, flavorless food for, once tax and tip is included, around $11. Nah, I'll pass.
