If you’re seeing a pattern here, it’s because the Boulder County/Jefferson County border is indeed a funnel for downslope winds that crash onto the plains at the western Denver metro suburbs.

Air experts have an almost-ironclad rule about human-made ingredients and ozone: If you can smell it, it’s likely bad.

There is a long history here. A second set of new programs — the humanist individualists — owe more to the experiments of the counterculture era: schools like Evergreen State College, founded in Olympia, Wash., in 1967; Kresge College at the University of California, Santa Cruz, founded soon after; or the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics, founded in Boulder, Colo., in 1974 by the poets Allen Ginsberg and Anne Waldman. These schools combined an interest in Eastern spirituality with the principles of humanistic psychology and the human potential movement, which emphasized the goodness in all humans and their gift for self-actualization.
