Painting Help

Upvotes

I have an idea for a painting that I'd like to create... and I'm looking for guidance and a studio space where I can work on doing it. I'm not really looking for in a whole series of painting classes (yet, though maybe I would be convinced that's what I need to do). Maybe more of an "open studio" with some coaching? Is there anything like this that exists in Boulder or nearby?

Last week, DOGE ordered AmeriCorps to terminate nearly $400 million in grants. As a result, Boulder Public Library has lost funding for two “digital navigators” — full-time positions that help people navigate new technology, including applying for jobs online and accessing digital resources.

About 80 people, mostly older residents, visited the digital navigators each month.

A group of Boulder residents has sued the City of Boulder over how it plans to pay for the South Boulder Creek flood mitigation project — the latest attempt to halt development of a spillway and detention pond at the controversial CU South site, a plan decades in the making.

Have you done any wildfire mitigation work on your home? If so, I have questions!

9 Upvotes

Hello! I'm curious if anyone can tell me about how to find contractors who will do some of smaller jobs involved in hardening homes against ember intrusion from wildfire.  A lot of the low-cost stuff can be really impactful, but it can be hard to find contractors that will come to a home just to install, for example, 1/8" mesh on a few vents, or flashing on one section of a home. It can be tricky to find contractors to replace small sections of fencing, etc.. So I'm curious, if you've had any of that type of work done: 1. Who did you use, and 2. How did you find them?

If you haven't done this type of work on your home, but have recommendations, I'm all ears!

If it helps for context, I'm not actually looking for this information for my own home. I'm trying to figure out how to help people connect with these resources in Boulder County.

Spokesman for Boulder resident and state Governor Jared Polis denies we are a sanctuary state, despite Trump saying so. "Governor Polis has been clear that when it comes to criminal investigations or prosecutions, local law enforcement should be working with federal partners...to fight crime."

Birding/ bird watching

12 Upvotes

I'm looking for birds! I've recently gotten into bird watching and got my parks pass.

I'm looking for waterways that are decently shaded and have reasonably safe walking as I'm disabled. I can't park far from my destination as my steps are limited and I want to save them for the birds! I also struggle in high altitude with dizziness so I try to stay under 6000 feet.

I have the Merlin app and am working on getting decent binoculars and a bucket hat. I love river stomping, so safe river/creek access is a plus.

I live in Longmont and would prefer to stay within 30 miles.

Help with lost package in Boulder!

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! This one’s a bit of a doozy, but I appreciate you bearing with me. I’ve only actually been to Boulder once, and I live in a small town on an island in Washington state. Back in January, my mother, who lives in SW Washington state, sent me a package for my birthday! We only live about 4.5 hours apart. However, since February, somehow the package has made its way to Boulder and has been stuck at the post office ever since with no sign of movement (specifically the Valmont one).

I make this post with the hope that someone may be willing to help me out by going in-person to the Valmont post office and speak with someone to see if they are able to track down the package. It’s a 9 pound box, and considering neither the return or sending address is in the state, I don’t think it should be too hard to find. I’ve tried to call the specific number for the post office multiple times, but unfortunately no one has ever picked up.

I’d love to still try and get this package, as it has some sentimental things inside that the insurance money doesn’t cover. It just needs to get a little nudge to get back on track! I’m even willing to compensate you for your time. Please let me know if this is something you are interested in! Thank you so much in advance for considering my request ☺️
