[quote name='SaintOlaf' post='1522387' date='May 8 2008, 02:24 PM']Colorado is great, I don't know that I'd call it the best though. I'm more partial to the hot and dry of the southwest (Arizona, Nevada)[/quote]

ick. sorry - i lived in Atlanta for too long - never want to live in a hot climate again.

41. it is dry here, but never hot.

36. The snow doesn't stick around here like it does in MN, and it doesn't feel as cold b/c of the low humidity and high elevation.

37. two words: no mosquitoes.

38. Actually, i was surprised by how clean Denver is - most cities are covered in haze in the summers b/c of all the pollution, but when i moved here in July, Denver was clean and clear. i was shocked.

39. Pike's Peak isn't the highest mountain in Colorado.

40. We don't all drive in the mountains on a regular basis.

if I remeber right Mt. Alberta is the highest mountain. And yeah, we don't do mountain drving every day that only happens when some of us visit phamily or phriends that live on the other side of the mountains.
Don't Forget that the 2008 U.S. Golf Open in colorado springs and 1993 WYD was in Denver.

That might be the only reason I like regarding Colorado's awesomeness in comparison to Minnesota.

[Deb]

No mosquitoes is pretty amazing.

[Deus te Amat]

Yep!

Of course... but bug zappers are pretty cool too. They are a pretty blue color AND they make fun noises when they zap things.

I do like the zap noises. They are pretty cool. Bats are cool too cuz they swoop and munch bugs.

[Deus te Amat]

I have funny bat stories!!

Like the time some got in our chimney, and the cats tried climbing up to get them.

Or the time my dad and brother played badminton with one. That was pretty funny.
