Mike Brown makes juggling look easy. It isn’t. Juggling, at its core, is a paradox. It is both chaos and control, effort and ease, movement and stillness. For thousands of years, humans have tossed objects into the air — not just for entertainment but as a form of meditation, mastery, and expression. The art of juggling sits at the crossroads of art and science, and of physics and philosophy, where gravity becomes both adversary and ally and where balance is achieved not by stillness, but by motion....

Change is happening all around us. Our country is changing. Our climate is changing. Estes is changing. When we moved here 13 years ago, 3 fans and some open windows kept our workspace cool all summer. We gave away our air conditioners. Now, we have twice as many, larger and taller fans. As hard as I try to avoid it, next year may very well mean replacing the air conditioning....

Adjusting to lower funding levels due to the loss of some property tax income has not been too difficult for some publicly funded districts. Property taxes received by governmental entities are expected to be lower in the coming years because two non-taxing entities purchased three primary lodging properties in 2024 and 2025, which removed them from the property tax rolls. Financial officers for the area’s special districts are currently presenting 2026 budgets for public review....
