Finished voting & what a beast of a ballot! It helps to have useful voter guides to dig into the details of the ballot issues. Links to some of the ones I used are in the alt-text. Now a trip to the ballot drop box downtown... #Boulder #Vote

A picture of a computer screen with a chrome browser open with various tabs for Colorado/Boulder voting guides.

Here are some of the election and ballot guides I referenced for voting this year:

I’m writing postcards to get out the vote. It’s easy to sign up at www.activateamerica.vote/postcards. Not sure if this makes any difference, but at least I feel like I’m doing something (in addition to voting) @activateamerica.bsky.social

A postcard for sending out to registered voters to encourage them to vote. This card says Your Vote Matters and Make It Count! With a colorful megaphone. I got these nice postcards from Etsy, but there are perfectly ok ones on Amazon.

Planted Crocosmia for the first time and I just love it. I think I'll plant it everywhere I have enough sun (which isn't a lot of places). It's already attracting the hummingbirds 🙌 #Boulder #Gardening

Seen on our walk back from the Farmer’s Market tonight - know your parasites! 😆 #Boulder

A sign on the fence in front of a stately old home. It reads: “Know Your Parasites” and lists the following 4 parasites with a picture - Deer Tick, Dog Tick, Wood Tick, Luna Tick (below a picture of tRump with a crown on his head)

Happy #Caturday from Merckx the Cat, whose belly fur is slowly growing back after her (negative) ultra sound. But right now it looks like she is wearing a bikini 😂 #CatsOfBluesky

A lynx point tabby cat is laying all stretched out on a bed, belly up. Her belly fur had been shaved for an ultra sound and is just starting to grow back in, giving her the look of wearing a bikini

Happy #Caturday from Merckx the Cat, who is resting after a traumatic day yesterday getting an ultra sound. She did enjoy the anti-anxiety meds 😼 Results negative 🙌, so just monitor and redo in 3 months. I don't love the shaved belly but it’ll grow back quickly. #CatsOfBluesky

A lynx point tabby with tufted ears is lying on her side on a gray bed cover. Her front paws are near her face and she has a bit of a shaved belly exposed. There are toys near her head.

The winds have really picked up here (lower sunshine canyon) and >60 mph gusts at NCAR now. Hope this doesn't last too long & we get some of that precip 🤞

Looking through my phone for a #Caturday picture and this one made me laugh - Maddie joining her sister in a little storage bin that Merckx barely fits in alone #CatsOfBlueSky

Two lynxpoint tabby cats squished into a small storage bin. Merckx is on the bottom and was first in when her sister Maddie, on top, forced her way in. They are both looking at the camera although Merckx is not looking too pleased

Maddie is so weird - she loves to sleep with her sister in the most bizarre poses. Here she is, looking like superman .. er supercat 😆 #Caturday #CatsOfBlueSky

Two lynxpoint tabby cats are laying on a gray chair. Maddie, on the right next to the back of the chair, is stretched out with her paws in front of her, in a superman position. Her sister Merckx is laying next her, oblivious to her silly pose.

It was a great day for a protest! Boulder really showed up - probably the biggest crowds yet. And I even got to shake hands with my congressman, @neguse.house.gov ! #AbolishICE #ICEOut #Boulder #Colorado

A blonde lady with sun glasses is holding an inclusive flag at the Boulder ICEOut protest. The flag has a Democratic Socialist sticker and a Chinga la Migra sticker. There are many protesters in the background.

Congressman Joe Neguse is standing with a protester holding a Love Thy Neighbor banner. There are many protesters in the back ground.

Scenes from today's #ICEOutForGood protest here in #Boulder #Colorado. A pretty good crowd considering this one wasn't as well advertised as previous ones.

Two inflatable pink frogs are standing next to someone with a sign that says "Respect the Dignity of Every Human Being". One frog is wearing an Inclusive flag and the other is wearing an American flag.

A man is holding a sign that has a picture of Vladimir Putin walking a prostrate tRump on a leash. There are protestors on either side of the street with signs and flags.

The M&Ms are so happy there is snow in the forecast, even if it's only going to be a few inches. And cold! Time to test out the new heating pad (finally) #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky #Boulder #COwx

Two lynxpoint tabby cats laying on a black pad on a gray chair. Merckx is closest to the back of the chair & she is stretched out on her back, looking very goofy. Madeleine (Maddie) is lying next to Merckx, looking up at the camera. It was too hot for their heating pad so it's not shown in the picture. But maybe soon!

Tree damage clean up from the big wind storms continues #Boulder #COwx

Two men are on the roof of a house cutting tree branches from a big limb that fell on the house during a recent wind storm. The tree is right next to the house and is obviously rotted/hollow.

We had a lovely hike around the NCAR trails today. It was much too warm and windy. Boulder is beautiful and extreme #Boulder #NCAR

The Boulder flatirons near NCAR. The foreground has grass that is very brown and dry. The sky is blue with some wispy white clouds.

Throw Back #Caturday! I found this picture of the M&Ms when they were probably less than 6 months old, with almost white fur. Adorable 🥰 #CatsOfBluesky

Two lynxpoint kittens are looking out an open window. Maddie is sitting on the kitty condo with her front paws on the window sill. Her sister Merckx is sitting on the window sill. They are staring intently at something. This picture was taken probably in the spring of 2017.

Saw this on my alley walk today. It has to be new to this location - I've never noticed it before. But it's cute 🐶 #Boulder #Colorado

A box filled with sticks is attached to the base of a tree. The green sign attached to the box says "Welcome to the Boulder Dog Library. Take a stick - leave a stick"

Did a lovely hike for a friend’s birthday in the South Mesa trail area. Such a beautiful area, especially this time of year #Boulder #Colorado

In solidarity with Canada, I'm drinking one of the fantastic Sour Ales that I brought back from our recent trip to Victoria BC. I had some of the best Sours while visiting friends there. Here's to better times, when we don't have a petulant baby mismanaging the country #beer

Madeleine (Maddie) has had a rough 3 week. But after an ultra sound, enema, blood & urine tests, she is nearly back to normal. And her sister, Merckx, is very happy about that #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

Two lynxpoint tabby cats are lying on a black fleece pad on a gray chair. Merckx has her back to the camera and is cheek-to-cheek with her sister, Maddie, who is up against the back of the chair. Merckx has her front let on Maddie, which is so cute

A lovely day for some gravel biking around #BoulderColorado. This trail is called Open Sky, which seems appropriate. @bwade913.bsky.social

A gravel trail traveling away from the camera with an open, green field & a fence to the left and some trees & low shrubs on the right. In the far distance is the Boulder foothills. The sky is mostly blue with some white close on the horizon.

I really enjoy riding the new Cobalt trail in Boulder Valley Ranch. It’s much nicer to climb than to descent (IMO) #Boulder #BoulderColorado #GravelBiking

View of the Boulder foothills from the Cobalt trail in Boulder Valley Ranch. It’s very brown with a few scrubby plants. The sky is gray.

We sure miss the kitties when we go on vacation, but our pet care folks have a great portal and upload the best pictures of the cats from every visit. Here are a couple of favorites for #Caturday

A lynxpoint tabby named Merckx is laying down on a gray rug and looking straight into the camera. She has blue eyes and a slightly annoyed expression, probably because we just left for vacation and she’s never happy about that. There is a cat toy in front of one of her outstretched paws. She has tufted ears that are hard to see in the picture.

A lynxpoint tabby named Maddie (aka Madeleine) is sitting on a bag and licking her lips with her tongue out to the side of her mouth. She is looking to the right of the camera.

Staying in our favorite place in Durango, right on the tracks of the Durango-Silverton tourist train. Good thing it only runs a few times a day. And this particular no-car engine runs every evening, back to the station. I have no idea why. #Durango #Colorado

Spent a short time in Zion before heading back to Colorado. The park was too crowded for us so we’ll go back during off season next time. But the town of Springdale was actually pretty nice and we had great views all around

A bluff ridge line stretching east to west at dusk. The bluffs are jagged and multicolored the sky is starting to turn dark, but still a beautiful blue with traces of cloud wisps. There is a small nearly full moon just over the middle of the bluff.

Sitting on the little patio before going out to dinner. Finally feeling like a desert vacation #arizona

I always love it when we get a bit of cold/snowy weather at home while I’m vacationing somewhere warm & dry. And then it’ll be greening up when I get back - perfect! #Boulder #Colorado #Arizona

A desert landscape - there are 2 Saguaro cactus midway in the photo with a gravely trail in the forground and a few more cactus in the background. It is very dry looking. The sky is blue with a few white, puffy clouds.

Arizona is so much fun. I just love the Saguaro cactus and they are everywhere in the area we are staying. Unfortunately it's very undesert like weather right now, but that should change in the next couple of days #arizona #desert

A lady with blonde hair wearing a green top and tan pants is standing next to a huge Saguaro cactus. She is on a smooth gravel trail and there are scrubby deserty plants all around. The sky is overcast & it actually looks like rain. A rare occurance in the desert.
