As a resident before there was a Pearl Street Mall (yes, cars could actually drive down Pearl and park in front of the Courthouse), I'm one of those people who would like to see Boulder stay relatively unchanged. However, that's completely unrealistic. Over the years these changes have seen three colors of the Subaru Outback line the neighborhood while gone are the VW buses and Saab 99's, and new residents are not afraid of buying two adjoining lots in order to scrape and build one "eco friendly" home.

Why anyone would choose to pay over a million to live above an RTD terminal or a few hundred thousand to live in a 400' studio is beyond my imagination, yet it's really none of my business. In short, the market is working and if I get too upset, I'll leave.

What bothers me, and may be a worthwhile bother for most of us is when political influence and wealth trumps reasonable and long term planning in order to achieve short term success. The Holiday and Safeway argument, or all of the time and effort to build the St Julien might be seen as the beginning of what we as a community are facing today.

Good game from the Buffs. The team played like a team, feeding Smith when she was hot in the first half and watching for Swan down the stretch. The guards also had a good game by getting the ball to the hot shooter or taking the open shot and using the clock.

The officials may consider donating half of their paycheck and writing a letter of apology to both teams for their bone headed calls in the second half. It's amazing how a crew can do such a good job of managing a game in the first half and come out after the break and suddenly want to control the game with one inconsistent call after another that essentially takes both teams out of any rhythm for minutes at a time.

There are a lot of people in Boulder who have way too much time on their hands and the Trident is one of the places they hang out for hours on end. The owners have a fine line to walk by not pi**ing off the regulars while attempting to rotate enough folks through the space in order to reap a nice financial reward. I gave up on the place years ago for the same reason a few friends keep going back, the social scene.

The same thing happened to me last year at Winter Park, so it's a risk that we all take. You probably won't last at any Colorado resort since they all follow the same procedure.

Poorly written article, full of opinion and just one fact...the price of the new passes. Perhaps Mitchell has a bone to pick about the new pass? How 'bout some history? How many times has the ski area come within a breath of closing and been pulled back from death by some marketing idea?

Look, Eldora has operated on a shoe string budget for years. Unlike the big resorts to our west, the only family associated with Eldora who was able to build a castle is the Tell Ertl family. As the only remaining Front Range area, Eldora occasionally throws the baby out with the bath water and starts again. It's too bad Eldora is leaving the Epic pass after just one year as this was the only reason I had to make the purchase. Perhaps Eldora will decide to join up with Winter Park and Copper in the future, which would be a definite plus for me.

Though a loss, a very good game by the Buffs. Hopefully the team can take this same determination with them to Seattle and Pullman next weekend.

Just win.

This team has the talent and skill to compete with any team in the conference and could easily be undefeated if not for one last piece of the puzzle their coaches are carefully installing. A Killer Instinct. Last night Cal was a defeated group with eight minutes left in the second half. Boyd's ego had sufficiently deflated and was on the verge of her fourth foul. Two other Cal players were hanging their heads.

Despite the poor officiating by Melissa Barlow, the Buffs continued to build their second ten point lead yet refused to stick the fork into the cooked Bruins. Unfortunate. The rest is now history.

If you don't have a ticket to Mile High on Sunday, bring your radio and headset to Coors and watch the Buffs take on Stanford. At some point this team is going to have a break out game and Sunday is a good time to fry a little Cardinal.

The great aspect to this team is how they work and talk together on and off the court. Four or five players have decided to grow out of Chucky's shadow and are doing great. This is a tribute to all of the individual work by the players and their coaches, who are perhaps one of the best group of coaches in the conference if not the country.

It would be interesting to learn whether CU has pressed the Coleman's as much as the legal department has pressed the estates of people who willed money to the university. One estate had to liquidate several annuities early in order to pay off the university and then was threatened with legal action because CU was paid 95% of the gift. Duh.
