Chanting "I'm under arrest", the group appeared to be headed toward the Social Security office to block the line from forming there. It's on.

This would be a special place that they can fraternize, blow off of some steam, chat on the cell phone, or even sleep...among other things. I imagine it would be a warm place and have access to water. Ventilation might be nice...just for more oxygen to promote alertness so one could get back to something productive in short order. Maybe a concierge could even invite people to the relaxation room when they look like they need a recharge.

Enter non-verbal communications experts... And Romney's performance actually inspired me enough to perform social suicide in Boulder...I may actually try to get a Romney yard sign for my yard. Forget all the ads...hearing these two hammer the facts and issues made the choice clear. I'll certainly be hearing about it from all those who are so enlightened that they didn't need to watch the debate.

This kind of hyperbole only leads to the divisive politics that leaves none of us better off (woman or man). We should be talking about the "war on common sense", "war on compromise", or "war on compassion" in the halls of our capitols. Got a love it when an elected official likes this starts pointing at the other party...as if either of these parties are our answer.

Why do we keep trying to put these services in nice neighborhoods or in areas close to downtown and retail businesses. Why do we just keep talking about what these few people need instead of what the larger community needs. Yes...we need to provide resources to serve the poor...but can't we just find some space in East Boulder on our on the fringes...industrial areas...or city/county facilities? North Boulder...including near north Boulder have been taking way too much of the broader "social service" load. And having these people on every street corner is just too much. Let's give them what they need in a orderly fashion....without attracting others here.

What is up with some of these Boulder people who love to judge people who build new homes...most of which are now quite energy efficient and more sustainable with a longer life expectancy. They get all high and mighty from their energy in-effiicient pop-tops and bemoan "scrapes", without the slightest knowledge of what was displaced to make way for their abode. I suspect if one had a memorial service for human lives lost in the name of "personal gain" or "progress" as she laments, many of these self-professed "guardians" would be hard to find.

It's still generally a very unpleasant experience due to the smell and still frequent transgressions of any civilized manners (swearing, cell phone arguments, showering in sinks, messes at tables....)

I try to go once a year, thinking '"someone must have gotten a handle on the problem by now", only to find it worse every time.

I was in there yesterday and had to move 4 times...and still couldn't escape the booze and pot induced mumbling, profanity, and smell. When I walked in, there was a guy sharing a giant bag of weed on the bench outside. And when I walked through the bridge on the way out at 4pm LITERALLY every single person (12) in there was homeless. Finally, upon exiting I see a guy actually trying to light a joint he just rolled. The homeless have effectively closed some of our public spaces already. Why can't we find a place for them to go. There has to be some other City property that can provide what they need (heat, bathroom, protection from wind, water, etc.) that doesn't otherwise impede the ability of the tax payers to use and enjoy the City services and amenities. You can't tell me there is not a City garage, plant, or administrative building that can't take some of these people. Oh, but that might get in the way of their work and/or their enjoyment.

The pine beetle and the deforestation in Grand County couldn't beat you, but we will so that some people can turn golden grass into green grass.

And the votes that pushed them over the top undoubtedly came from students who think this sounds like a great idea, but who won't be here to bear the consequences. Interesting picture celebrating at the Boulderado last night. Another DC article on the council race shows a different celebration there last night too.

Maybe we should turn up the heat on where/when dogs are allowed. It just seems that if someone has an animal on a leash that they trump any other user in or outside of town around here. Having to drive in order to mountain bike in this town in nuts.

Hmmmm.

It amazes me they don't alert the neighborhood now because they don't want to promote a bunch of gawkers that might upset the animal. Don't we want to upset them right back into the mountains?

We keep bikes...and even dogs...off certain trails.
