- imaginative creativity.
We respect our readers and hope to challenge, inspire, and motivate them.

Our mascot is a mountain goat. What's so great about mountain goats?
- They have highly specialized hooves and legs that enable them to grip and leap on steep mountainsides.
- Their efficient fur coats keep them warm in frigid high elevations.
- They survive under harsh conditions through a strong matriarchal family structure, endurance, adaptability, and a broad vegetarian diet.
- They have a great view from way up the mountain and enjoy a perspective unknown to most of us.
They're also an endangered species that has been overhunted and overlooked for protection. Learn more about mountain goats and how you can help.
