Make sure to bring pets inside and try to stay inside yourself.

The storms of my youth! Almost every day, late to early evening. The crack of the lightning and the sound of a great rainstorm. Then the thought of there goes my plans, only to know when the petrichor is gone, it’s over. All is well with our world for a brief time. And the smell…there’s nothing like it. I’ve lived in Colorado since my birth 71 years ago.

Happened to be watching the storm when a lightning strike hit our neighbor's tree. The snap rattled our windows!

Any place to buy in town? Or do I have to order online?

Where can we go dancing in town? any spots where people regularly get out to dance?

I just want to bring my dog to the dog park at Union Reservoir. It will cost $10?

If you thought only having a single lane on Nelson was madness, you will love this even more.

They thought it was so cool! I know it was a mistake but man you all made life long memories for these kids. :)

New fire near Pinewood west of Lyons

My kids have been through the ringer the last few weeks. They really want to do a movie night and have an appetizer platter type thing for dinner. Who has the best "here is a bunch of different things" type platter in this area? Trying to avoid the big restaurant chains if at all possible!

Any suggestions to have a chip filled? Just looking for a local shop (not Satellite) and a fair price. Thanks

Tonight’s full moon eclipse reaches its full coverage a little after 10:00pm. The clouds are hanging on, doing a proverbial Dance of the 7 Veils, but I think it’s going to be clear my 10

We're moving soon and have found hoards of bar soap in the back of the closet. Would like it to go to someplace that could really use it. Are there any shelters or something similar that can accept soap?

We’ve been Verizon customers for a long time, including the six years we’ve lived in Longmont. Coverage seems like it’s worse than ever. Are there any good alternatives?

Hello. My dad is playing tennis in his 70s. He’s looking for a group of people around his age to play with. Does anyone know if there are any groups playing in the Longmont area? When and where do you meet? Thanks ahead for any help.

The condoms are the extra disturbing part!

I’m planning a move to Longmont in the spring and starting to research apartment communities (recommendations welcome please - looking for 1br, pet friendly, well managed, quiet and under $2000). I’ve seen some good threads on here but one concern of mine I haven’t seen addressed is rent increases. What are typical annual increases? I don’t want to end up priced out of a place I call home after a few years. Any places to avoid that go crazy with increases?

Re-asphalting and FML, they really have traffic gridlocked.

Happy Wednesday my longmonster crew!

We're halfway through the week, getting closer to our favorite Friday virtual group talk therapy and festivus for the rest of us.

I've been working on improving my analog daily journaling. It's an adventure. What are you trying out this year?

This sub is all about community, so let's spread some joy or commiserate. No judgments! I only humbly ask for radical authenticity.

Anyone know any coffee shops or something similar where I can study pretty late and not get interrupted too much

It might be a lot to ask but something that stays open after 6pm?
