Observations from a Newbie (Denver, Boulder: work, house, retire)

[wanttomoveeast]

World Beer tour? Do you mean the Great American Beer Festival?? oh man, I am so going this year. I went three years in a row.

Suzco: Once I had a dream that I would buy a blue Subaru wagon. I was looking for a car at the time. The next day I drove past a blue Subaru and I did indeed end up buying it. Yay for Subarus!! Mine got me out of so many times of being stuck in the snow.

I need a new hobby?

I didn't see you use a quote or reference Old Chicago so I didn't know.

That's funny, I have the completely opposite observation-- I've never seen (and smelled ) so many smokers until I came to Phoenix. What makes it really gross is smelling the cigarette smoke when it's burning hot outside.

I played it endlessly for 3 weeks until my husband greatly embarrassed me in front of friends by talking about how much I'd been playing it and getting on his nerves.

..so for reminding me of it... thanks a BUNCH.

Now that we've decided we're coming, my husband has decided to get a subaru sometime within the next year. I'm trying to talk him into something more to my liking, but you people sure aren't helping.

see... my initial subaru comment is confirmed. You CO people go nuts for subarus. Yeah, they're good in the snow. It's like Dansko's, when you really think about it, those are the most ugly shoes ever, but in CO somehow, girls think they're cute. I'm totally guilty by the way.. I own a pair, but if I wear them anywhere else I feel wierd.

Oh, I thought of another one... 14ers. Ok I get it... you like to hike.. a lot!

Crocs (the rubber shoes) were born here too. Ugly? For sure. Have they taken the world by storm? For sure. What about Celestial seasonings, herbal tea? Colorado's nothing but a combination of comfortable, safe, and the opposite, the adrenaline rush, the 14'ers etc.

Crocs are the worst offenders of ugly shoes. I love my Danskos. Comfort is key there but they still look good in my opinion. I wear my Ingrids year round. I have horrible feet so when I found Danksos I finally found shoes that don't make me crank-butt.

I drive a Honda Accord. I've always thought Suburus were for granolas and mountain dwellers...haha. I am on my 4th Honda since 1985 (a Jetta, a Chevy truck, bigger Chevy truck then a Suburban in there too).
