1947 - Maps had to be changed as Boulder Dam was changed back to its original name, Hoover Dam. Some people, mostly those who live in the community of Boulder, Nevada, still refer to the dam as Boulder Dam. Many of them think that changing the dam’s name was a damn shame.
It's surprising how many people come through here (Boulder, CO) and still ask for directions to "the Dam". (Still not nearly as many who still want to know how to get to the "Mork and Mindy" house or JonBenet Ramsey house. rolleyes)

Just a quick stop by in what has been a crazy, stressful month of April. Just returned from St. George, UT where husband's (estranged) brother was found dead. Spent a week trying to sort out the mess left behind by a tortured soul who's 66 years on earth certainly didn't seem very happy. He had not spoken to us in 5 years and even his children had no contact with him. A sad tale indeed.

So, after 4 days back trying to catch up at work, I'm off again tomorrow, this time for a much happier occasion. Our son (and only child)graduates from college this weekend, along with his fiancee, so we're off for the big event and celebration. On Tuesday, the four of us depart for Florida to swim, kayak, hike and even hang out with "the Mouse" for a couple of days. cool
