Today's riddle: Why did the man leave his watch in the bank? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Man arrested after telling Boulder police he repeatedly hit 70-year-old woman while she slept (dailycamera.com) — Boulder police arrested a 52-year-old man who allegedly struck a 70-year-old woman multiple times with a backpack while she slept outside a gas station, leaving her with serious injuries.

2. Woman impaled by seat at Folsom Field concert in Boulder sues seating company (denverpost.com) — A woman injured at last fall's John Summit concert at CU Boulder's Folsom Field is suing the company that provides cushioned stadium seats for Buffs games, alleging it left dangerous metal poles exposed.

4. Save Your Life and Livelihood Through Falls Prevention (bouldercounty.gov) — Boulder County is rolling out a full month of falls-prevention classes this September, aimed especially at residents 65 and older.
