Teenager Fights Off Bear!
I think we're all aware of the kind of people dog lovers are. I'm one myself! I would do anything to protect those little puppy Nah Nahs...but shoving a bear off a ledge might be pushing it (literally!). That's not the case for 17-year-old Hailey Morinico, however. She doesn't hesitate at all when a mama bear and her c...

The History of Late Night TV
CNN has been running a fascinating series of the history of late night TV...from Steve Allan to Johnny Carson, David Letterman to Conan, Arsenio Hall to Joan Rivers. You can catch it on Sunday Nights for a few more weeks. Here I am with my daughter Kate in New York. We couldn't get tickets to the Letterman show but a...

Pat's "Staycation"
My recent vacation was a "staycation." When our daughter and son-in-law visit Grand Junction we like to hit the road for food and fun, always stopping at local places (sorry, chain stores). It's possible to live in the Valley a long time and still miss some great spots. We had never been to Palisade Pies, bu...

Earth Day
Earth Day (Thursday April 22) is a big deal in my native Wisconsin. In 1970 then-Senator Gaylord Nelson pushed to make it an annual event. I don't need to tell you all the ways to help the environment, but one thing I'll do this week is visit this place to drop off a bag of dead batteries. Next stop will be here to t...

Pat's pie
I really like coconut cream pie, but nobody else in my family does. Years ago a friend that ran a restaurant gave me her recipe. When I learned that Vault co-workers Libby and Katy are fans of this flavor I decided this was the day to surprise them with a slice.I knew Libby would give me an honest opinion - she liked ...

Nature is ADORABLE!
Watch it with your kiddos, watch it by yourself. Watch it over and over again like I did! Because when a fluffy Great Pyrenees puppy meets up with an elk, it's beyond precious. Thanks for listening, Vault Fam! -Katy Thanks to the Boulder Daily Camera for the video!

Wall Boat
You gotta be kidding!
The Go-Go's were the first female rock band to write their own songs, play their own instruments and record a #1 album. This happened over 30 years ago. They've been eligible for the "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame" for 15 years. They're still not in, but at least this year they received a nomination. This gu...

Well done, Katy!
Afternoon guy Paul was first...I tied Libby from the morning show for second place...and hopefully, there won't be a third. Everybody on "the Vault" staff managed to catch a mild case of Covid 19, except Katy. Aside from when she's speaking into the microphone, this is how Katy has appeared every day for mo...

The TV show that's bigger than a Super Bowl
No matter if your team is playing, no matter if the commercials are fantastic or so-so, Super Bowl television viewership continues to grow. In fact, 9 of the 10 most-watched television events in U.S. history are Super Bowl games. What TV show still occupies a spot in the top 10 even after 38 years? This one. Pat

Thank you, Radio God!
If you had The Vault on at 5:57 this morning and heard some coughing in the background of a song, that was me. Good thing that's ALL you would've heard. Here's our very-simple-to-operate microphone button. You would think an experienced radio announcer would know to 1) cough, 2) Turn on the microphone, and 3) then s...
