They work with the Littleton (just south of Denver) fire department for fire related stuff. For search and rescue, their main coverage area is Arapahoe and Elbert counties but they get called to assist on mountain searches.

Good on that off-duty fireman. I hadn't heard about that one.

IO9 or giz must have had an article on chimeras in the past day or two, because I just closed a bunch of related windows. Apparently it's much more common than we'd thought, or that we can determine,

Formally speaking, all human females are chimeras, because about half of their cells have one X chromosome and half have the other. They are two genotypes in one body.

Sort of.

The dude was driving home from a Rockies game when he saw the fire. I would hope that anyone would call it in, but he even climbed up on the roof to run hoses while waiting for the fire department. One of the good guys for sure. [link]

Bobby's eyes are one hazel-green and the other hazel-brown. I'm going with David's theory of twin eating. I'm sure he will like that one too.

Why Boys “Lose Respect” (Mar, 1964)

Interesting look at sexual norms back then.

Why do some boys feel that a girl who permits them sexual intercourse lowers herself?

A distinguished leader in the field of sex education, Dr. Kirkendall is Professor of Family Life at Oregon State Univ. and author of “Sex Education as Human Relations,” “Premarital Intercourse and Interpersonal Relationships,” and many other writings.

“After that I lost all respect for her.” This is a common reaction on the part of boys after they have had premarital intercourse with a girl.

“Loss of respect” is a loose term, to say the least. As boys use it it may mean almost any unfavorable change in feeling. The phrase is so commonly used, in fact, that loss of respect is often thought to be an inevitable result of premarital intercourse. This is not so.

I totally lost respect for any boys that agreed to have sex with me in the 60s.

I lose respect for any boys in their 60s that want to have sex with me.

Actually, no. I just wanted to say that sentence.

I started to keep a phone charger in my bag so I could charge my phone at work if need be.

Formally speaking, all human females are chimeras, because about half of their cells have one X chromosome and half have the other. They are two genotypes in one body.

Huh. Kinda mind-blowing.

Also wanted to say that I love those photos Liese and love that you took your kids out to see the eclipse. I tried to get my kids to look at it and they were supremely uninterested. Go figure!

These 21st century kids, a skymonster eating the sun and they just don't care.
