As Boulder Recovers...

I found this morning's message from that wonderful store Cured on Pearl Street to be particularly touching.  Here's what they say:

CURED: Hurray for Sunshine Edition (Vol. 3 Issue 31) Good Morning Friends of Cured, I don’t think we have ever been quite so happy to wake up to another beautiful, DRY, sunny morning here in Boulder, with a week of similar sunshine on the horizon. We know many of you sustained solid damage to your homes, but hope endlessly that everyone is safe and now dry, and slowly making sense of the devastation that hit. Please, please, if there is anything at all we can do to help-let us know. We have 5-gallon water jugs from Eldorado if anyone is still without water. We have massive sinks and dishwashers if you need to come down and do some cleaning. We have cheap wine if anyone just needs a drink, something special if a treat is in order, and we’re happy to let you hang out late and feed you cheese if the idea of going home just sounds overwhelming. I realize there is nothing that can be said to spin this all to a positive, but I must say, it has been inspiring to watch Boulder as a community band together and help one another. The level of selflessness and comradery that came out over the weekend was truly inspiring. Despite all, we feel quite blessed to be a part of such a loving and caring community. With the events of last week, the day-to-day happenings at Cured seem trivial. Of course there are still wine tastings and chocolate tastings and warm roasted chickens coming out of the oven, so if you need a bit of distraction or a bite of comfort, come down and let us relieve you of reality for a few minutes. Our thoughts go out to all of you and please don’t hesitate to ask if there is anything that we can do to help. Much love to all. Will + Coral
