Today's riddle: Why do Norway's navy ships all have barcodes? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Friends in slow places (Rochat Can You See?) (dailycamera.com) — A wandering 100‑pound tortoise in Littleton sparked a lighthearted reflection on patience, stress, and the power of neighbors helping each other. Using Lard's very slow "escape" and rescue, the writer encourages Littleton-area readers to lean on community support when life feels overwhelming and progress seems painfully slow.
• AARP The Magazine: Wynonna Judd on Grief and Growth, Kyle MacLachlan on Staying Curious, Plus Stories on Housing, Music and Community (aarp.org) — Residents of Meadowood Village in Littleton, many of them older adults on fixed incomes, recently banded together to challenge a surprise notice that their mobile home park might be sold. Their organizing effort highlights how vulnerable manufactured-home communities can protect affordability, while AARP pushes for broader housing protections and resources to help older Coloradans stay safely in their homes.
• Volunteer Opportunities Directory (colorado.gov) — Colorado's statewide volunteer directory makes it easier for Littleton residents to plug into local service, from animal shelters and food banks to civic opportunities with the City of Littleton. You can search by organization, location, or cause to find ways to help neighbors, support vulnerable communities, and get involved with local government or nonprofits across the region.
