Who Is This Guy & Why Is He Here?
Michael,
While we’re looking at pictures snapped from cars, I have this one I shot this morning on my way to Sidney’s Espressso. I have two questions:
1. Who is this guy? B. Why is he here in Boulder? III. How did he evade the lasers on our border?

The Barista's Art
Boulder has another unexpected claim to fame: the best baristas outside of Fiorenze. I had been meaning to wait until I got a larger sample of the barista’s art, but here I come with photos of 12 picturesque lattes and one non-picturesque (guess which before you look).
The highest-rated and most consistent espresso spot is Joe’s. I have yet, after dozens of visits, to get an unbeautiful latte made by Joe. It is not for nothing that Joe has gotten the yearly Boulder award for best espresso. (He even sponsors barista workshops!) But Laughing Goat and Ozo aren’t bad. Bliss is inconsistent. Sometimes they have beautiful lattes, but I haven’t been there with my camera at the right time.
Soon I’ll add another dozen lattes. This is a fun project!

Pink Mercury
Michael,
The Messenger satellite just shot a color picture of the planet Mercury. In my attached shot, I’ve tweaked the saturation to make the pink more obvious.
Now Mars isn’t the only pink planet.
