Scott Carpenter Park has a hidden past
I have worked across the street from Scott Carpenter Park for over twelve years. Like many, I often have lunch and take breaks on the large hill within the park. Over the years I have often wondered, “why is this hill here?”
Do not miss the last Super Blue Moon of the decade!
August has been a busy month for moon displays. On August 1st, we were treated to a Super Sturgeon Moon. I was in Wilmington, North Carolina that evening and was surprised at the most magnificent orange Moon I had ever seen. Unfortunately, I could not get a good photograph at the time.
The monsters of Northern Colorado
For the past few years, in August, the town of Greeley and Distortions Unlimited have hosted Monster Day. Over the years we have enjoyed attending this great event that brings monsters from all walks of life together. Or, maybe we should say, all walks of dead?

Each year Monster Day takes over Downtown Greeley. Saturday, August 12th was no different. There were costumed monsters roaming the plazas, professional makeup demonstrations, vendor booths, food and beverages, monster makeup, face painting, music, kids' activities, a costume contest and more!

Clean your house before an atomic blast?
I love watching old Civil Defense videos from the 1950’s and 1960’s. But the 1954 film, “The House in the Middle” had me in stitches. The short film is a demonstration of how an atomic blast would affect your home if you were a slob.
