He thinks they were put there by a concerned citizen frustrated by the bad driving habits of their fellow, uh, Bouldarians(?). No, Google says people from Boulder are called “Boulderites.” I don’t like that. Bouldarians is better.

Suddenly, the article's author, with a steel chair! I guess, rereading, the whole article's pretty casual, but I just wasn't expecting the first person pov.

They are boulderites when they grow from the top down and bouldarians when they grow from the bottom up

What about when they grow from the middle out? We are Americans after all.

Boulderites are like top 10 in the nation in fitness. That's where Olympic athletes go to train, because of the low air density. Boulderites aren't typical Americans. Source: grew up in boulder and live in a Midwest hellscape.
