Tony, I love your stuff on Twitter. I have a locked account for professional reasons so I can’t interact there. We also left Boulder a few years back after raising a family there for 20 years. I abandoned a real estate business that I had cultivated in that time. Your “open air insane asylum” description is spot on. Love it! We went back to Boulder for the first time last summer for the Dead and Co shows and I promptly got bit by a methhead’s pitbull. Fun stuff! Cheers from lovely Midway, UT. They don’t do insane asylum up here!
PS – Your climate data and posts are much appreciated.
