About Town, July 26, 2012
Another hot week gone by, 100 degrees most every day “down in the valley.” People who have a thermometer in their cars notice the change in the temperature as they come into Lyons; it’s usually 5 to 10 degrees cooler. I have always heard Lyons was about 10 degrees cooler, and know that when you get to the Rte. 36/66 junction, you feel a welcomed breeze coming down the canyons. We need cool and rain.About Town, July 19, 2012
Another hot week, and three hours with no electricity in the north end of town. Wow! We are spoiled by these modern conveniences. How did the old-timers get along? No fans, no air conditioning, no computers, no lights, no refrigerators, etc. Ah, this modern life does spoil us!About Town, July 5, 2012

A good weekend gone by and with rain! They say an inch of rain is worth a billion dollars, and I believe it. The TV said it will start to rain in Lyons, at 5:22 p.m., and it did! It came down fast and furious, cars were stopped, 1-25 was closed, etc., but it was worth it. Whee! That heat got to us! Sad to say, it came a month too late, and would have stopped the rash of wildfires

Well, we made it. The 36th annual Lyons Good Old Days were good, but hot! The hottest in 58 years! It was 104 in Longmont, and it is usually 10 degrees cooler in Lyons, but when it gets that hot, you can’t tell the difference. However, we all made it. It was nice when that sun went down. All had an enjoyable weekend with many folks coming back to their “old hometown.”
