Here's a view from the National Center for Atmospheric Research here in town. It's a wonderful place to visit, on top of a hill overlooking Boulder Valley. The locals were concerned when it was proposed but the government hired I M Pei as the designer. He managed to make a beautiful building for a beautiful site.

Once the boys and I went up to play with their tornado maker and decided to dine in the cafeteria there. It was funny listening to the scientists tell their scientist jokes that we couldn't understand. They seemed to think they were very funny.
