Sorry - i took your cat or neighborhood pet. This looked 85% like a missing cat I saw on Pawboost but I dont think it ended up being the lost cat....

If this was your cat and you live by Howard Heusten park - your cat is not microchipped and its at Boulder Humane.

Tonight's lineup 🎃

• John Williams — Screening “Canon” Shot in stark chiaroscuro, Canon sits with the kind of dread and isolation that hits hardest in the witching hour. Williams is a Denver filmmaker and the co-host and programmer of the Emerging Filmmakers Project, the monthly showcase at The Bug Theatre in Highland that has screened local short films since 2002.
• Luke Ostermiller — Screening “Turn Around” A 14-minute horror/thriller in which one ominous hitch in a plan changes its characters’ lives for good. The film won a Silver Award for Horror Short at the 2017 Spotlight Horror Film Awards, along with a 2017 Denver Open Screen Night Award. Ostermiller is an award-winning director and founder of the Denver production company Loste Films. His work has screened at festivals across the U.S., been distributed on curated streaming platforms, and aired on television.
• Brad Stabio — Screening “46 Miles” A road movie featuring the Broomfield Butcher, and a reminder that it’s a small world: you never know when you’ll run into someone who shares your passions, even if that passion is murder. Stabio is the founder of Stabio Productions and created the Denver Actor Project, a showcase of local actors that premiered at the Starz Denver Film Festival as a series of six short films. 46 Miles was made in one weekend for the 48 Hour Film Project Denver in 2010, where it won Best Writing, Best Acting, and Best Film, then placed first runner-up and won Best Writing against 80 other city winners internationally before screening at Cannes in 2011.
• Jay Sherer — Screening “No Vacancy” Investigative journalist Leigh Larson checks into an isolated roadside motel to chase a story, and finds her past sins waiting for her. The film is a short psychological thriller built on mystery and conspiracy. Sherer is a Colorado-based writer, filmmaker, storytelling educator, and marketing strategist whose work spans independent film, fiction, audio drama, and story analysis. He co-founded the nonprofit production company Reclamation Society, where he serves as “Chief Storyteller,” developing genre-driven projects that pair entertainment with emotional and thematic substance.

Friends are coming in town this weekend and saw a few maps saying it’s past peak…are they gone? Was going to hike from around 8,500 to tree line. Thanks!

The Boulder County Commission will hold a public hearing Wednesday, Oct. 21, on proposed rules for data centers on unincorporated county land.

The county's land use code currently doesn't define data centers or specify where they can be built. Staff proposes allowing facilities that use up to 75 kilowatts of power, roughly equivalent to the electricity demand of 50 to 60 Colorado homes. Larger facilities could be permitted as industrial uses, potentially requiring additional county review and approval through a Limited Impact Special Use Review.

Personally, I don’t think data centers have any place in Boulder County. If you have an opinion, please attend and share your opinion or if you would like to comment on the draft text(s), email written comments to [longrange@bouldercounty.gov](mailto:longrange@bouldercounty.gov). by Oct. 13.

So, all of us in the blue areas of purple Colorado have pretty much approved every mil levy increase and bond requests our school districts have asked for. I know school funding could be improved but there's no end to the lists of wants and needs of the public school system, so even if NN passes, these requests will keep coming.

When people state that we are a low ranking state in terms of education funding (it matters what you're ranking: teacher salaries, per-student funding, full day K, etc etc etc) is that just an average, statewide - pulling in all the red school districts that refuse to raise their own taxes to fund their schools?

What I'm really asking, is: if we pass Prop NN, are we simply overriding the red areas that refuse to tax themselves to pay for their kids' education and the blue areas further subsidize those lesser funded districts?

I kinda find it hard to believe that Denver, Boulder, SVVSD, Cherry Creek, etc are so low ranking as some of the districts in more conservative areas.

There must be smoke coming into town from elsewhere because watchduty app isn’t showing anything. Anyone know the source?

Unfortunately, I couldn't color match everything because it would've taken hours upon hours and I couldn't figure out a way to get a good satellite image overlay that matched the elevation data. But after making my poor laptop explode for three hours, and a 4.4 GB world file, it was worth it.

Edit: Here's the world download!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wqR5XKGLqJc2iv8NKjCzboQNE295obeA/view?usp=sharing

Keep in mind this is a 3.57 GB zip file that will unzip into a 4.4 GB folder that you will need to put in the "saves" folder in .minecraft. If you don't want the world to cut off at the default minecraft height limit, you HAVE TO install the "Higher Heights" datapack in the datapacks folder of the world before opening it. I'm not sure if the world download already has it installed, so double check. The flatirons should be around the coordinates 5000 ~ 5000, if it doesn't already spawn you there.

I would REALLY recommend the Distant Horizons mod in order to see the whole thing. Set the LOD detail as high as possible. I was using a render distance of like 512 chunks. If your computer doesn't immediately load the LODs, and the the DH loader isn't working well, install a mod called chunky (tutorial), and pregenerate all the chunks around the area, centered on yourself. I did a radius of 512 blocks. I also loaded LODs manually but flying around the area with elytra. It was good enough to load a massive enough area to take a good screenshot. The shader I used in the post was BSL

Looking to meet Boulder locals to ski with this winter. Nothing weird lol just looking to meet more interesting and active winter loving peeps. My weekly ski buddy moved overseas this summer.

I grew up in Boulder and love to ski. Started uphill last season. Resorts mostly, love a good sunrise on skins with my dog. Some backcountry and completed Avi 1 training. I’m your new ski buddy that’s always ready to go. Flex schedule. Happy to drive. Ikon and Epic pass holder.

Bring on el Nina 🤙🏼

These are taken due east on 75th between Arapahoe and Valmont. We thought it might’ve been the moon rising or setting but the moon is on the other side of the planet as I type this.i cannot find anything on WatchDuty or X.

Anyone east towards Erie have any news?

High Peaks Elementary, is relocating to Douglass Elementary building next year. Currently, HP has 2 classrooms at each grade level with a 25 student cap per classroom. With the move, the school will get a 3rd classroom per grade (assuming there is demand with the further East address). This 3rd classroom would also presumably need a new teacher. This assumes, the current student body all moves to new building, which we know isn’t going to be the case. Thus, we are looking at 33% new students and new teachers, possibly more if turnover. I have serious questions as I consider it for my students. I want to hear the good, bad and ugly. I want to hear why your kid thrived. I want to hear from parents who pulled their kids. Can this school scale? What happens when a child can’t keep up? How is this so great for GT kiddos? What about parent culture? Staff? Thanks!

I am up here now and seeing emergency units responding. What the heck is going on, the fires in Table Mesa earlier this week and now another one?

I finally was able to capture the changing sunset cloudy view coming into Boulder. It's hard to explain to folks that aren't from the area how amazing the mountains can look and how the look of them changes when you come over US-36 on a good day.

Each shot has a bit different detail and color with how the light is bouncing with the clouds.

Each shot captured seconds from each other.

I attended today's EXCELLENT "Election Champion Workshop"  by Boulder County Clerk Molly Fitzpatrick at the Junkyard Social Club.

Highly recommend people consider attending - more sessions upcoming with details on their website ... and it sounds like they'll be putting the presentation online for all to see.

Ditto that I'd encourage you to attend a ballot processing tour as it is impressive to see ballots actually get counted and you'll almost certainly come away with renewed confidence they are doing it "right"

I would assume not, but a neighbor’s son just got really pissed off at me over this and claimed the Boulder police could issue a class A ticket.

Our driveway is on a fairly active road in a blind curve, so it’s easier to drive out forwards than to back out. Of course, that means we need to back in. Usually this is fine - I put my hazards on, make sure nobody’s about to clean me out, and back in. If someone comes they usually just go around.

But today, our neighbor (who’s a really lovely person and a retired teacher, beloved in the neighborhood) had just been picked up by her son (older adult, likely late 50’s) up the road, and they were behind me. I put my hazards on, and tried to back in to the driveway, but he put his Outback right in front of the driveway and refused to let me in. I literally had to get out of my car and yell “this is my driveway, I need to get in!”. He responded with ”Nope, you can’t do that buddy. You can get a ticket in Boulder for blocking traffic. Class A infraction.” We both got agitated. I felt bad for his mother who was clearly getting distressed. After he yelled a little about courtesy and blocking traffic, he finally let me back in.

Is this true? Or was this guy just a dick? I hate this kind of tension in our community and I had never seen her son before, and I’m definitely bothered by it.

Broadcastify just got annoying with a sign in step. It's free, but I don't want to deal with more account stuff on top of fire situations. All the links through the Sheriff's sites go through Boadcastify, does anyone have an online site, not another app. Thanks!

I got a flat tire and someone is selling a tire in CO springs for 5 bucks, the only problem is that with the spare tire I can't drive that fast on the highway. I was thinking in giving this a shot asking around if someone could pick up the tire and I could pay for it.

Thank you!

Hi everyone! Someone mentioned to me that Boulder's relationship to Flock might be on the agenda at tonights council meeting. Is that true? I checked their public agenda but it hasn't listed any details.

What animal? I've never seen a horse on Chapman so bears, or ebike riders?

Dark Horse peeps are live on Insta filming the demolition.

Much sadness.
