• Snowblower safety tips for Joe Sakic

  As soon as I heard that Joe Sakic had broken three fingers in a freak snowblower accident, I immediately flashed on all the other bizarre injuries suffered by Colorado athletes in recent years -- and I wasn't alone. The Rocky Mountain News' Dave Krieger -- who made our list of marquee talents the Denver Post should hire if the Rocky folds -- took on the subject in a column dubbed "Sakic Did What? Say It Ain't So, Joe," while USA Today's Reid Cherner and Tom Weir took things even further with "S

• Wake-Up Call: The white stuff

  Danger! Danger! No one has driven down my street since I arrived home late last night (after carousing through a close-to-empty downtown last night). There's no telling when, if ever, the newspaper will arrive. Maybe tomorrow, when the temperature returns to fifty degrees. I am looking at the foot of snow on my back deck -- and at the free-flowing traffic on Speer Boulevard and I-25 beyond it -- and listening to Peter Boyles's radio show. He's back in classic form, with a show dedicated to "D

  Photo courtesy of Colorado State UniversityAhhhhhh... so pretty... Move over, Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker. Surrogate motherhood isn't just for celebrities anymore. Or humans. Or the living. Last May, a tornado cut a swath through much of Windsor, Colorado, and among its victims was a badly interested mare whose ovaries were harvested shortly before it was euthanized. Subsequently, two surrogate mothers were chosen to carry on the mare's bloodline -- and last month, two healthy f

• Step one when spotting a tornado: Get out your camera

  It's no surprise that the one serious injury reported as the result of five tornados that touched down in Colorado yesterday involved a man trying to take pictures of the storm. Capturing video images of natural disasters now challenges seeking cover as a first reaction for folks witnessing severe weather. As evidence, note that there are well over a dozen clips on YouTube this morning related to the spring-weather turmoil in the area. The one above features some of the best narration I found,

• Tornado picked wrong day to suck up politicians

  Our recent rash of severe weather included the funnel cloud seen in the video above, which seemed to hover directly over the State Capitol building yesterday. "Too bad it didn't touch down," writes the YouTuber who captured these images. "Could have been a crazy place for a tornado." True -- but would any of us have enjoyed being struck by a flying legislator?

Acoma St. when he was struck by lightning. Englewood Fire Rescue responded and transported the man to Swedish Medical Center. He is currently in serious condition. Damn right he's in serious condi

• Soldiering on through the snow at Frasca

  ​ This just in from the boys at Frasca: "Despite receiving over 14 inches of snow (and counting...) on Frasca's patio today, we'll still be open this evening for regular dinner service. We hope to see you soon." Two feet of snow. More on the way. But what do chefs do? Keep working, that's what. The people need dinner, and that means they're gonna need someone to cook it. Not only that, but Frasca is still taking reservations for dinner. That's pretty hardcore. And the way I look
