The Law

Ha... not what you think!

I want to know why, if there are only so many state highway patrol cars in the Whole-Entire-State, there were THREE of them on the Boulder-Longmont Diagonal just south of IBM this morning when I went by at 7:30 AM (one followed me there from Niwot... I hate it when traffic is doing 5 over, and I've got a smokey bear on my tail... do I slow down or do I go with the flow -- yeah, yeah, I know, go with the flow... but it makes me sweat bullets).

Then, this afternoon, leaving Fleming, in line to turn left off Broadway onto Baseline, I witness a wreck... which seemed to be a hit and run, and once the one hit got his senses back enough, he started his truck and did a u-turn over the broken glass and chased the vehicle that hit him up Baseline.

Fun times.

Re: law school. I picked which thing I wanted to sign up for, and made it so. Just one. I'm not sure I've got the time to devote to more than that...

Ok, so I fudged. A little. I did put my name on on 'conservative' group's "send me more info" page (though I didn't join, yet... and had second thoughts on it even as I left the building).

The "one thing" is the one that requires an essay and to be chosen by those already members...

  PART 8: The Six Young Ladies in the Middle Young Adult Mennonite Group Attends  Farmington Chautauqua, August 1910 By Elizabeth Hervey Osborn Part 1  --   Part 2  --  Part 3  --  Part 4  --  Part 5  --  Part 6  -- Part 7 -- Part 8 The youngest attendees were the four close friends clustered at the center of the middle row. With two older ladies at the ends of their row, it is almost as though their older cousins were protectively surrounding them.   In this last installment, I present here a closer look at their remarkable lives. Dora Katherine Krebill 1886-1972 (4HB, FamilySearch K4GQ-QK4. Find-a-Grave 1160127272) Twenty-three year old Dora was Walter’s older sister, born to Joseph Krebill and Selma Magdalena Weber in 1886 near Donnellson Iowa.  Marriage would not be in Dora's future, but family was everything to her. For decades she helped organize and gather her Krebill cousins - descendants o...

  PART 3: Chautauqua -- The Original TED Talk [ 1] Young Adult Mennonite Group Attends Farmington Chautauqua, August 1910 By Elizabeth Hervey Osborn Part 1  --   Part 2  --  Part 3  -- Part 4 -- Part 5 -- Part 6 -- Part 7 -- Part 8 “The most American thing in America,” Teddy Roosevelt supposedly said [2] , was the Chautauqua Movement. Before the days of internet, television, radio, and moving pictures, rural folk had a strong appetite for more knowledge on important cultural, political, and philosophical matters of the day. In the years following the United States Civil War, Methodist church leaders concerned about the quality of adult education organized an annual gathering of Sunday School teachers near Chautauqua Lake, New York, where they brought in the best thinkers and speakers they could find. The gatherings at Chautauqua Lake became an “educational and cultural retreat” for idea-thirsty people of many denominations. [3] Sharp-eyed businessm...

At the turn of the 20 th century more people lived in Farmington [1] than in the county seat [2] sixteen miles upriver, its prominence fueled by the modern electric light plant, woolen mill, pants factories, flour mills, repair shops, coal mines, quarries, and several vinegar and pickle factories, in addition to the general agriculture of the region. [3] Two passenger and freight lines intersected downtown. The Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad (the “Burlington Route”) served routes east and west. The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad (the “Rock Island”) ran ...
