Today after more than 13 years we had to say goodbye to the 3rd of the original 3blackdogs. Skansen's JA Bauer was a big, lovable brute that never seemed to grow up. He was always the low man on the totem pole but took it all in stride. A bit goofy, he often...

I've recently returned from testifying in the NCT case and it reminds me why I was happy to leave the legal arena. For the last three years I have steadfastly tried to guide NCT forward for the benefit of the creditors, local community and ultimate new...

Holy crap, what were they thinking?

Area transportation for seniors is a laudable goal and most communities seem to have implemented something. Some contract with a local bus company to help get seniors to their doctor appointments while others establish their own systems. When I lived in Meeker, CO...
