WHO KNEW BAGELS COULD CREATE SUCH A KERFUFFLE This past week I found out there was a little deli in Parker that was shipping in bagels made in New York for sale. No, I don’t eat many bagels, but living in Douglas County I can tell you it’s a real bagel wasteland. There are bagels to be found, but none of them compare to a real New York bagel. So when I saw online that I could get a real New York bagel at The Grecian Grazer, I headed over to check things out. Indeed, they have REAL bagels! In the course of chatting with Sean, the owner, we were discussing how a competing bagel shop seemed to respond, by sending people in to make crazy claims and write bad reviews online. I hate stuff like this. That’s why Sean is joining me today to chat about the cutthroat world of bagels at 2:30. If you’re in Parker, go get a sandwich or a bagel from Sean, he’s a great guy.

ELIZABETH SCHOOLS WANTS TO KEEP SOME BOOKS OUT OF LIBRARIES And we’re not talking ALL libraries, we’re talking school libraries. After creating a process that involved pretty much anyone who wanted to be involved, they removed books with content they deemed to be inappropriate for kids. Of course the ACLU sued them. Why did they remove the books? The content was too mature and contains content such as racism, discrimination, LGBTQ+ content, sexual themes, profanity, graphic violence, and self-harm
