Carom would probably be a more accurate term.

Old news. Happens to Boulder every few years.

Goes airborne? meh. Should have went air assault. Much more useful and practical.

Boulder rammed into Provo? Wow, that many hippies colliding with that many mormons didn't end the world? I'm impressed.

FTFA: "But it is something to see," Craft said.

Okay, so you've decided to put this quote in your story, but not pictures so we can, y'know, see this amazing something that the quote speaks of.

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

/actual, non-sarcastic thanks to robmilmel for posting the pic

That explains why the play house had a bullseye painted on it.
Step-dad not getting enough attention.

Now, where did I put that boulder? I could have sworn I left it right...

OMG!

And a great example of a typical Utah Valley family. Oh, and the playhouse it hit.

Sounds like someone needs to dig a couple of ditches to catch rolling rocks on that slope.

"The guy didn't want to negotiate," Nagel said. "He wanted $389,000. Now it's worth about, oh, 50 bucks."

How much for the gun?

There haven't been real hippies in Boulder since the 80s. What you see now are just rich high school kids pretending to be hippies with no concept of what it really means.

Lemme guess, was a coyote working in rocketskates in the garage?

Ya, they did something dumb like that near my old home town - had sandstone bluff above the subdivision - yea, they DO calve off car sized rocks from time to time....they ended up having to build a substantial barrier.

During the construction of a local elementary school, they had a boulder come loose and roll into the building - it ended up in the middle of the central circulation core, where they left it as interior feature.
