Making me want to move there. The line about 'this humidity kills me' -- sold. 80%+ humidity right now in FL ;/ The views are just icing on the cake.

We're light on humidity and, generally speaking, spiders and bugs.
I love it. I'm at 8500 feet and "hot" day is maybe in the 80s and it hardly ever gets there.
(I don't like temps over 80 or humidity.) Denver is too hot for me in the Summer.

For those who don't know, Casa Bonita is a Mexican Restaurant, tourist attraction with
lousy food. They have cliff divers inside though. My cousin was a highly ranked diver when
he was in High School. He worked at Casa Bonita.:<)
-----
Boulder is known as a Liberal town - sometimes called the Peoples Republic of Boulder.
They do have some interesting laws though:

If you are a driving a car and hit a bicycle, basically it's your fault regardless of what the cyclist did.

Very tough and expensive to build a new home there. 10 years ago it was $15,000 just for a water tap and very restrictive zoning. They are limiting growth.

It is a strictly enforced, $200 fine (or more by now) just for walking your dog on the Pearl Street Mall.
Not if he poops, just for walking.

----

There is a Anheiser-Busch plant near Fort Collins.
Besides Coors, there are a ton of craft brewers here.
But you might hear people ask for a Bud Light.

----

Subaru is the unofficial State car because of the All Wheel Drive. I have a customer who makes his living by buying Subarus from other states where they are not so popular, and selling them here
for more. He has the buyers lined up first.

There is also a joke about sandal wearing, Subaru driving lesbians because Denver is to
lesbians as San Fran is to gay men.

Yep - you're in the valley. I used to look down on you from the pass at the end of my road. Up on the Mt. it's all solar heat. If you're too warm in the sun, just go sit under a tree where it's around 20 degrees cooler. Actually - at 8700 feet I found it a little too much that I had to put on a winter coat after dark in the middle of summer. Had some outrageous awesome bonfires behind the house though - speakers in the windows cranking out the jams and everyone from town mozying through at one time or another during the evening.

Lightning. LMAO - CO is the first place I'd ever seen snow and lightning at the same time.

Sigh. I miss it, too. Real hard sometimes.

  I moved from Denver, CO to the Bailey, CO in 1997. I did not see lightning and snow at the same time
  until a few years after that. Certainly a Mountain phenomena. It still strikes me as odd (pun unintended)
  that it happens - seems like early science classes we learned it can't happen.

Hey! My post was supposed to be for Coloradans only. You're telling all our secrets, you trader. What's next? Are you going to drink a Coors while listening to John Denver?

Sorry, my inner hotelier was actually encouraging visitors. Imagine that! A conflict I just have to live with, I guess.

Besides we're Coloradoans, not Coloradans. LOL

If I was a Coloradoan, Coors beer is definitely nothing I would be proud of lol

Coors beer and Bud Light are in the same category.

They both taste like Horse piss.( No I have not drank horse piss but it is what I imagine it taste like)

If you think Coors beer is good beer you have serious mental shortcomings, and that is being nice

The beer is an insult to real beer craft makers !

Thanks

This post is a good example of why Texans should never discuss anything related to Colorado. My post about Coors (and John Denver) is commentary that REAL Coloradans don't like either, which is one reason for the title of this thread.

Nope! Just some harmless back and forth ribbing ( which obviously went over your head lol) from a Texan who evidently is not welcome with "open arms" by the State of Colorado

As long as you, and all other Texans, drive well, behave, shop, pay the hotel and restaurant bills - and then go home, I'm OK. A certain woman who owns a cabin here can stay. The owners of a certain Colorado ski resort can stay in their second home from time to time. They seem nice. (Probably originally from Oklahoma.)

LOL

I loved Texans when I lived in Empire. Made a fortune pulling them out of ditches when they learned that 4WD doesn't mean you can do 60 on ice.

And what all of us who live/d on Clear Creek (that clear mountain stream that Coors brags about) knew and smiled about when the tourists ordered Coors at the local pub? It's a mine chemical dump. Drink up!

Thanks
