We have leased a studio in Boulder. For people who ask us “why Boulder”, well, they say that a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are 4000 words’ worth of pictures… these were taken during a hike that was…and I’m not exaggerating… 7 minutes from our studio (which is within walking distance of a Wild Oats, a Whole Foods, and V.G. Burgers (“Organic Food Fast”):
we’re on our way to Boulder, Colorado where, by very happy coincidence, it’s the weekend for their annual Boulder Creek Festival – their huge 3-day bash over Memorial Day where they have, among other things, their famous Kinetic Sculpture parade and the Rubber Duck Race (I’m working on having our friend Charlotte, who is the holder of the Guiness Book of World Records title for “most rubber ducks”, attend).
Have I mentioned how much we love Boukder?
Oh..and the train, where the scenery never…just *never*… sucks. Herels another obligatory picture from out the train window. Wow…I really niss Sunnyvale…oh wait..no I don’t.
Yeah…the train really sucks…please…stay away from the train…
How can anybody not like the train?
Just look at these views…this time from just that side of Immigrant’s Pass
I’m playing with Google gadgets from Google.com. So, enjoy it while I test out various gadgets (which you can read, all about, here.)
Wretch wretch wretch. Ok, when I got our fabulous reverse osmosis filter system, I got it to remove icky chemicals from our drinking water. Before that, though, I had a Pur water filter, and I had it for the same reason. Why anyone would want a water filter to instead add chemicals back into their drinking water I don’t know, I’m sure, but that is apparently what Pur is banking on with..wait for it… water filter flavors.
Yes, that’s right. Pur has just introduced water flavoring cartridges to go with their water filters. With Pur Flavor Options water filter flavoring cartridges, your drinking water can have strawberry, peach, or raspberry chemicals injected into it right at the source!
I’m sorry. This is disgusting.
But in case you just have to try it out (or at least see for yourself) you can see the Pur Flavor Options water filter cartridge here.
Oh, if, on the other hand, you actually want your water to be pure, not Pur, check out this cool portable countertop reverse osmosis filter system!
Teachers in a Tennessee elementary school staged a fake gunman attack while on a field trip, telling the sixth-grade school children that it was “not a drill”, while the children cowered crying under tables, believing that they were about to be shot to death. Can a lawsuit be far behind? (Let’s hope not.)

I’d always been told that Disneyland was the happiest place on Earth. But having now spent a couple of days in Boulder, Colorado I’m here to tell you that, in fact, Boulder is, in real fact, the happiest place on Earth.
I’m serious. The residents must all be gargling with bong water, or maybe it’s thr oxygen deprivation, but whatever it is I like it. I have never been in a place where the people are so universally friendly! Even the clerks at the cash register! When they say “have a nice day” they look you deep in the eyes and they really mean it!
I tell you, I’m hooked.
Now, if only we can move here.
On the train again… we’re so glad to be on the train again….
This time en route to Colorado!
Updates as they happen!
My good old Volvo wagon… isn’t she awesome??
