I lasted just over a year in Colorado. I hated it. Blizzards aren't any fun for me.

We have family in town for Thanksgiving and we all went to the park today so that the children could play outside. We took jackets with us but we didn't need them. That's why I love Houston!

You scare me, with this talk of horrors. What is this place, Denver?
A far-away land of cold and snow, unfriendly people (they regard us Texans as Arrogant, Uncouth, Big-mouthed People of the South-lands), and bad Mexican food. A very frightening place, indeed.

So do they sell Blue Moons at Specs ? Under same name?..

You are so right (well, except for flip-flops, since I don't wear those). Today is really comfortable.

If we could just get rid of some of the small-minded bigots it'd be a world-class town.

LMAO...If you stayed a bit longer, you may have gotten use to it. I love cold weather though. It was in the teens here WITH wind in the DC area last week. Loved every minute of it.
