There is nothing like a late April storm to liven things up! Yesterday we had rain with tornado warnings. This morning started out with rain but has turned to snow. It looks like this will last for awhile.

Temple Grandin
April 17, 2010
Here are a couple of youtube links of Temple Grandin. She is pretty amazing. She talks a lot about the brain and how different people think, see things, and learn. The BBC documentary is really good but is posted in 5 parts. If you have time check these out.

Soap Opera Versus The President
April 13, 2010
This evening made me think...
I typically record the soap opera Days of Our Lives. I enjoy watching it when I get home from work. There is something about relaxing while watching fake drama. Anyway, today while watching it a special report came on. The report was to show President Obama speaking about the nuclear summit meeting. I wasn't particularly interested in what he had to say about it so I ended up fast forwarding through 90% of it. Later I was thinking, great now I won't know what happens at the end of the soap opera. Then I started thinking...why am I more interested in watching a soap opera (that has nothing to do with real life) than watching the President speak? I think it is good that he is letting the American people know that he takes our nuclear security seriously and is having talks with other leaders about it. I just wish they could do it during a different TV show! Priorities....hummm. Is it bad to choose a soap opera over the President? I guess the answer would be different for everyone. As I type this there is a Frontline show on PBS about Obama and health care reform. Maybe this is a sign I should be more interested in what the President does.

Around Denver
April 10, 2010
Today I went to some of my favorite spots around Denver.
Heritage Square
I love the music hall theater! They put on really great shows.
This place also has some fun rides for the kids, mini golf, and an alpine slide.

I-70 Road Cut shows various colors of rock. There is a trail along the road cut and it is next to I-70. The photo of the trail was taken looking West, the gateway to the mountains!
Lookout Mountain - Golden, Colorado
On the way up I took a photo of the Coors factory in Golden, CO. This is looking East. At the same spot but looking West I took a photo of the canyon road that leads up to Black Hawk & Central City, Colorado. One of the greatest old mining towns, in my opinion. All of the legends were in Black Hawk & Central City at one time or another.

Continuing up Lookout Mountain there is still some snow along the road! Nothing in the city though.
At the top of Lookout Mountain is Buffalo Bill's grave.
Red Rocks Amphitheater
Red Rocks is a natural, geologically formed, open-air Amphitheatre
