Song of the day: Peter Bjorn and John, “Young Folks”

It doesn’t matter what we do, where we are going to.
We can stick around and see this [day] through.

And we don’t care about the young folks,
Talking ’bout the young style.
And we don’t care about the old folks,
Talking ’bout the old style too.

And we don’t care about our own faults,
Talking ’bout our own style.
All we care about is talking,
Talking only me and you.

A brisk hike to the top of the nearest hill reveals that I live on the shore of a dry sea, stretching all the way to Missouri (or somesuch).

Watching over this landscape is what appears at first to be a very stern pelican. I snuck in for a closer look.

However, once one gets closer, the pelican is actually a rather self-satisfied baboon. Meet Bertrand, the patron baboon of Boulder.
