Elam, no longer Number One

Jason Elam, long time kicker for the Denver Broncos, has left the building. A four year, $9 million offer from the Atlanta Falcons was just too good to pass up. At 38, I can’t really blame him.
Personally, the thing I will miss most about Elam isn’t his great kicking. What I will [...]

Young’s, Walrus gone in Greeley

Looks like Greeley has lost a couple more small businesses recently. Not sure how long they’ve been this way, but the signs are gone both from Young’s Cafe, just off 10th by Walmart, and Walrus Ice Cream in the King Soopers Parking lot off 35th Ave.

NextGEN Gallery appears to be a good upgrade from the WP Photo Album that I am currently using on Bob’s Bad Binder, and the Gallery software I’m using on this site.
WP Photo Album is good, but the one [...]

Podiobooks – Potty-o-books

I’m currently listening to one of my favorite podcasts. I won’t mention it, or link to it, since this isn’t a very nice post, but I think this needs to be said. Hopefully no one will be offended.
It appears that some authors are serializing their writing using the podcast format. They [...]

The Finest is for sale

The Finest music stores are for sale. The Finest, which has been in business for over 35 years, has suffered a severe decline in business and owner Jim Risser is looking to sell.
Personally, I find this yet another blow to my lost youth. While I am one of the guilty parties, and haven’t [...]
