We had high winds last night and this morning - currently we're having gusts up to 45 mph, but earlier they were up to 80 mph. I guess that's when the hastily repaired privacy fence between Harvest Manor Apartments and the Millennium Harvest House Hotel came down again. I was awaken multiple times by loud noises during the dark hours - and once I saw three panels of the fence were down and twisted, I knew that debris would be hitting my glass wall for as long as the winds continue. I've been up since 6 this morning, and we've had three snow showers so far, though the snow melts as it hits the ground. Lovey and Nedi have been happy to stay inside.
Well, let's see... a movie made about Mine That Bird, the 50-to-1 long shot who won the 2009 Kentucky Derby, will have it's opening debut show tomorrow at the historic KiMo Theater in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Mine That Bird competed in all the Triple Crown races that year, finishing second in the Preakness, and third in the Belmont. Distribution of the movie will spread out through the US from Mine That Bird's home state of New Mexico.
The Mega Millions lottery is up to $400 million, if there is a single winner, in tonight's drawing. Boy, what I would do with that amount of money... It's mind-boggling to those of us who pinch pennies to make it through the month, with food always on the table and all other bills paid promptly. I know that it's expensive to live in Boulder, but it takes money to move, also. Just can't do it - yet.
Back in 1996, little beauty pageant princess Jon-Benet Ramsey was found dead in the family basement, at the age of six years. That house is once once again for sale, this time with a price tag of $1.98 million, here on 15th Street in Boulder. - And, a 58-year-old man is being arraigned on first-degree murder charges today (here in Boulder) for the death of Nathaniel Tallman, who disappeared from Lafayette on 28 January 2014. Tallman's body was found and identified in Wyoming last week. Tallman had arranged to meet Russell Britton to purchase marijuana the evening he disappeared. Britton stated that Tallman never appeared, but police found Tallman's blood and DNA in the back of Britton's van. Tallman's car was found parked in Boulder three weeks after he disappeared.
Small craft beers accounted for $14.3 billion in sales last year in the United States - that a growth of 20% from 2012. I know there is a huge market for craft brews here in Colorado. My niece's husband makes a couple of barrels three or four times each year; and local bars are very proud to sell local brews. I had never realized how lucrative home brewing could be... Of course, back before the industrial revolution, almost every single family (in Europe and North America) had their own beer or ale recipe. Seems odd to me how it's popular again.
(And it's snowing, again.)
