You're from Colorado if . . .

A bear on your front porch doesn't bother you.

You're from Colorado if . . .

Your two favorite teams are the Broncos and whoever's beating the snot
out of the Raiders.

You're from Colorado if . . .

You've been to the original Chipotle near the DU campus and Mustard's
Last Stand.

You're from Colorado if . . .

When people out East tell you they have mountains in their state too,
you just laugh.

You're from Colorado if . . .

You go anywhere else on the planet and the air feels "sticky" and you
notice the sky is no longer blue.

I'm not from Colorado, but I can attest that all of this is true -- except the part about the bear on the porch. Anybody who is not greatly annoyed and/or a bit disconcerted at the near presence of a bear probably moved there from California.

And when did they change the name of Elitches? That's just not right.

Now, speaking of Colorado, what are the dates of that big convention I've heard tell about? I need to visit my mother, but I'd rather not be there when crowds are big, rental cars are scarce, and Teddy Kennedy is tooling down I-70.

I agree about the bear, I would not be happy about that. Especially since Casey would raise the roof trying to get to it to herd it.

It's been Six Flags Elitch Gardens for several years. I don't know what's going to happen this year, Six Flags supposedly is selling it.

As for the convention, the dates are Aug. 25-28, and I recommend you stay outta town Aug. 22-29. (((((((shudder))))))))

Also, rumor is that hotels near The Can are charging $1,000 a night. Hopefully they're charging Ted Kennedy $2,000 a night.

I eat ice cream in the winter and I have never been to Colorado.

I want to be a "trust fund hippie" when I grow up!

I would be happy to have a bear on the porch. It might scare away the Door to Door salesmen or the people who put 10 flyers on my porch every week.

Isn't it just like that Sprots to run away while we are typing our fingers to the bone? We won't let her be the group facilitator next time!

They probably won't charge him very much because they know that his bar bill will be higher than $2,000 a night and that's where they make their real money.

I dunno. I figure it might be sort of like marrying for money -- too hard a way to earn a living.

LOL - People in these parts don't either.

You've gone jeeping in a vehicle that was never intended to go off-road.

The only person I have ever done this with is my brother - while he was living in Colorado.

I have done the rankings long enough to know that no lead is safe. Not even Sprots'....

I should try to figure out when PSM might be on track to pass her up.....
