scardella Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 [quote name='fides quarens intellectum' post='1521232' date='May 7 2008, 10:38 AM']29. It is raining. i moved here ten months ago, and [b]this is the first time i have seen it rain here[/b] (well, not counting frozen rain). 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. 40. We don't all drive in the mountains on a regular basis. 41. it is dry here, but never hot. 48. Falling Rock next 4 miles 71. Anyone can draw a map illustrating the borders of Colorado. 74. Colorado is the only U.S. state entirely higher than 1,000 meters / 3,281 feet in elevation. 85. The federal government owns more than a third of the land in the state.[/quote] I consider these reasons NOT to move to Colorado. 29. I like warm rain. 36. If it's going to snow, it better be around to throw snowballs and such. 40. If you're going to waste fun, curvy roads, what's the point? 41. I like hot weather. 48. I don't like the idea of having to watch out for falling rocks... 71. Why would you want to live somewhere where just ANYBODY can draw a map of it? 74. I don't like thin air. 85. Just more big government! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fides quarens intellectum Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 91. i can't decide which is more beautiful - watching Detroit win the Western Conference, or the beautiful back-lit mountains at dusk. Probably the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
