I'm sure this is hilarious, having never been to CO I'll have to take your word for it. = )
I do believe our states have a few things in common. I think it can be best summed up with -- snow and winter.
Oh. And flannel.
So funny, and after my 23 year tenure in the state, so true! I remember on my b'day (in the People's Republic of Boulder, where I went to school and married), CU was closed for a snow day! This was unheard of. In fact, it was my 21st b'day, and let's just say that Pearl Street Mall was not the partying atmosphere I had hoped it would be for turning 21.
The week previously (Feb), we were playing volleyball in 70 degree weather--sporting sunburns, of course.
And the mountains for directions thing: so true. However, now that I'm in a place that a)has 2 mtn ranges and b)they are usually covered with clouds anyway, I'm all messed up with directions.
Mer,
I disagree--true Coloradans don't have A/C! =)
This was fun to read; I can say a lot of them apply. Amen on the correct pronunciation of Buena Vista. I always cringe when I hear that and other locations (Cache la Poudre comes to mind) said incorrectly!
This is hysterical, Mer. This is exactly what it's like to live here.
I have no idea why I always think I'm going to have at least month when I don't have to run heat or a/c - it's true. One day the heat goes off...the next, we close up the house again and get the a/c going. LOL
And he's dead right about the Halloween costumes. I can't remember the last time it didn't snow on Halloween night.
This is too fun.
Haha! That was great. The only thing that has remained the same since leaving Co was the sexy lingerie are wool socks and flannels PJs.
I think I better stay in Arkansas - I know CO is beautiful - but I don't think I would fit in. :-) Mostly because I hate cold and nothing about me is outdoorsy (unless laying out on a beach counts!)
Oh how funny! I hear ya on the pronounciation thing. Listen to anyone say Kissimmee Florida and I cringe.....it's not Kiss-a-me! LOL
