Coach Prime is the new sheriff in town This year, up in Boulder at the University of Colorado, there's a new head coach. "Coach Prime." Ugh, gag. It's "Neon" Deion "Primetime" Sanders, still riding on his college and NFL reputation and nicknames. Okay, so he's good. Maybe great. But please, does he ever grow up? He still struts around like a movie star, now sporting trademark sunglasses and cowboy hat....

From the Grizzly Rose Today is the last day of summer. Tomorrow is the first day of fall. Normally I'd be celebrating because fall has always been my favorite season. Fall has always brought great things, but especially respite from heat and drought. (That was even more true in Oklahoma than it is here.) This year, however, I'm not quite as jubilant....

Lost: One US Marine F-35B Lightning II fighter jet. Last seen wandering on autopilot near Charleston, South Carolina. Steel gray in color. Loves high altitude but will approach runways and hangars. Will go to ground if left alone too long. Does not swim well and may have drowned in a nearby lake. Owner desperate for return. I can only laugh at this story, although it's costing US taxpayers somewhere between $80 million and you-name-it, depending on the source....

Unprecedented flooding along Colorado's Front Range A backyard in Boulder Flooding in Colorado. I don't know how detailed the national news has been because I've been watching the local stations. Wall-to-wall coverage of wall-to-wall water. Flooding in low areas across the entire Denver metro, including some homes less than a mile from my house. Flooding in many areas of Broomfield, Boulder, Longmont, Lyons, Estes Park, Jamestown, Allenspark....

Every once in a while Estes Park photographer Erik Stensland presents a new photo to which my reaction is "Wow!" An image that grabs me, that stands out notably from all his others. This is "Ancient Stand," an image Stensland captured somewhere up on Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. I had just been reading one of my old posts, …...

What is it about music, anyway? Even if you aren't currently in a music-loving stage of life, you probably have been. And certain songs evoke emotions we didn't know we had, or remind us of things long forgotten, not to mention things we'd rather not remember....

I've mentioned it before: the increasing and distressing misuse of the word verse when the word should be versus. Versus is often abbreviated vs. or v. and is used when speaking of competition; for example, Rams vs. Broncos or in legal cases like Roe v. Wade. Verse, on the other hand, is an element of poetry or song, or a brief biblical passage, and is never abbreviated....
