Chuck Baker's carpet ride

How does one even begin to diagnose the downfall of Chuck Baker? Let's begin with the easy answer: Arbitron ratings, which track how many people are listening to a radio program at any given point in time, tend not to lie.

Close your eyes

Mothers are always averting their children's eyes from frightful things. How many times have I snatched the remote control from my children's hands and turned the channel, just before a violent clash was broadcast?

Sidewalk Surfing

We all know there's no such thing as a free lunch, but is there an affordable one? Downtown workers and wanderers in the Springs can easily drop $10 to $15 for a fine lunchtime repast, but can one eat well for around $6?
