Give me a city in Colorado. Please don't say Colorado Springs. Fort Collins, Boulder and Denver and then you have a deal. To really appreciate Colorado you need to leave it for a while. You would be burning up the roads to get back once you left here.

There is a difference between being direct by choice and having a limited vocabulary. A **** load is a unit of measurement here.

Star Trek TNG reference. Borg are evil cyborgs who take orders wirelessly.

Like some people with a Bluetooth!

I'm not from Colorado. I'm getting ready to burn up the roads to leave.

Perspectives are a funny things; you have fond memories, yet these are the people whom provoked me to change my manners.

Well, not all of Colorado is the same. Colorado Springs...rude. There are not that many people that are actually from Colorado most have moved there, so you get an amalgamation. The Amalgamation is largely dependent on the city. People go to different cities in Colorado for different reasons, but at least there you have a choice of the type of people that you want to live around. Here, pretty much all the same.

I just want to know which city that he lives in Colorado. It makes a huge difference. There are some places in Colorado that are even worse than here. I could not stand Colorado Springs, but at least I could drive a few miles and be at Pikes Peak. Beautiful. Here, I drive a few miles and invariably I will end up at a trailor park. Of course they don't call them trailor parks. It is usually something like brentwood estates or something of that nature.

She got into a chrysler convertible with another 80 something year old woman who had an oxygen tank in the back seat with tubes in her nose with the top down. All I could think of is why the oxygen tank, just stick head out the window like a dog and get oxygen at 60 mph.

Where I live...you would not believe the stuff that goes on around here unless you actually saw it for yourself. These have to be the rudest, most uncouth people that I have ever seen.
That was my mother in law on her way to Vegas. She and her sister drive that thing 90MPH.

Which one, the one with no bra or the one on oxygen. Either was equally hot.

haha, more grist for the comedy mill! ^_^

Colorado Springs is a military town, except for the college there. I've heard parts of CO are rednecky, but Denver and a lot of the really small towns and resort towns are nice. Boulder seems like the opposite extreme, like a throwback to the 60's, from what I've heard.
