On a heart attack or stroke, up to six responders may be needed.

About those ears…

In the still short time that I have been spending the better part of my waking hours in Boulder City, the thing that has most hooked me in has been the seemingly endless stream of neat local events. Pure smalltown America stuff.

Spring is such a wonderful time of the year! The days are warmer and getting longer, flowers start to bloom and my weekend schedule starts to fill with festivals. What’s not to love about spring in Boulder City?
