Cars are not limited in their top speed. Drivers are expected to obey the speed limit, not buy a car that cannot physically move faster than the speed limit. Non-motorized cyclists can exceed the speed limit.

Who wrote the caption for the photo? "full" is not a recognized eclipse type. Total, partial, annular. The eclipse described in the photo was an annular. If by "full", you mean the opposite of "partial", there is no opposite. I sure hope you didn't mean a total eclipse, which is very rare for Boulder.

Didn't your mother every ask you about jumping off a bridge...? CU spends hundreds of millions on a stadium and it's worried about being competitive? I tried senior auditing this semester and the classes were hot and crowded, with paying students standing in the back of the room (needless to say, I didn't stay). Try spending a little more on a positive student experience. It'll do wonders for your competitiveness. You don't need to spend a quarter-million to consultants, just ask your students.

I disagree with this law. Not long ago, Colorado had legislation to allow cyclists to coast slowly through stop signed intersections. Other places allow it, for example in Idaho. It makes sense, for cyclists to, when safe, slowly coast through such an intersection in order to preserve momentum.

I went on the hike yesterday. Great weather for it. It was very nice. One thing that was remarkable was a human factor. Everyone along the trail was so friendly! Not only did people say "hi", but many also said "how are you" or similar. It was so noticeable that it caused me to think about what could be so different there from hiking along a trail in the Boulder area? And, it was people of all ages.

And Federal law trumps State law, unless we're talking about recreational marijuana. Then it's more complicated. It's always more complicated. There is no "period". In most cases a useful strategy is to make it more difficult for the other side to achieve their goal. Home Rule will do that. It creates another hurdle for the State to overcome.

I learned from a public meeting with Plenary that there would be no additional lanes to relieve automobile congestion (I don't count the HOV lanes, because they are toll roads). Also, the only BRT would be for the one bus route that goes from Boulder to downtown Denver. Other buses would be considered local, need to stop along the way, and therefore would not migrate in and out of the HOV lanes, but would stay in the slower, more congested, general lanes, and on the shoulder lanes if possible and necessary. Not only is this not light rail, but it is a poor improvement to bus service, unless you are a commuter from Boulder to Denver during rush hour. Light rail does not provide only a connection between two points.

"wrongs to minors"? Is that really a law? It sounds so made-up.

An wonderful American hero and a wonderful ceremony.

Aside to Camera: this story gets a minor headline compared to the Buffs LOSING a game? Amazing. The guy is a Boulder legend, an American hero and a historic person, and he gets something like a state funeral in little old Boulder with at least three Senators, our Representative, the director of NASA, guys who have actually walked on the Moon. And it gets a minor headline below the Buffs lead with photo. That's the website tonight. I hope the Sunday paper tomorrow as a better layout.

Fourmile Creek goes through the drainage that goes to Boulder Creek. It doesn't have a canyon name.

Fourmile Canyon Dr. goes beside Fourmile Creek.

Fourmile Creek and Fourmile Canyon Dr. are NOT in Fourmile Canyon!

Fourmile Canyon is further north, along Wagonwheel Gap Rd. It leads up to Sunshine (the town, not the canyon!) and leads down into Wagonwheel Gap and ends, I guess, at the mouth of the canyon that Lee Hill goes up.
