you know you must be from Colorado if.....

[Ritz]

...you design your kid's halloween costumes to fit over a snowsuit
...you've dressed in shorts,sandals,and a parka.
...you know where the real South Park is
...you've gone skiing in July and sunbathed in January
...the bike on your car is worth more than your car
...you can drive over a 12,000 foot pass in four feet of snow,
but you can't get to work if there are 4 inches of snow

would have to agree with most of it. I can't say anything about the driving as I don't drive but I know I don't want to be at school when it IS snowing. instead i want to be in the mountains skiing or reading and drinking hot chocolate.

Got to love Colorado! I wear shorts in winter and sweats in summer. I think that's just me though.

Me likes Colorado. Born and raised here. I love our quirky weather, low humidity and lots and lots of sunshine.

Colorado is God's hint about what heaven's really like ... and the people aren't too bad either.

believe it or not people, I love Idaho even more the Colorado!

I grew up in CO and moved out to ID 2 years ago. The mountains up here really are left untouched. Its an unheard land where everyone has the small town mentality and are very friendly.

CO is too crowded. You can't go fishing somewhere decent without rubbing shoulders with someone. Everything is private property and there are fences all over the place, I hate fences!

There are some cool things about CO though, I'll admit. I like the joke about how CO only has 2 seasons: winter and road construction

 

[Tattered]

I forgive you sally

... actually you are right. Colorado is very crowded ... and touristy. I guess I've just gotten used to all that ... besides ... I like all the amenities like movie theatres and grocery stores

About the only thing I can relate to is, how people always seem to suddenly forget how to drive when it barely snows at all. I mean, this is Colorado, what do you expect?

As for the Halloween costumes, well the last time I wore one here was years ago, and I think I just beared the freezing weather.

Funny!

I like the part about low humidity! I was born in Kellogg ID,dad was career AF,so was around CO a lot as a kid,breathtaking scenery. Have lived in OH since moving after marriage '68,if I knew about humidity,my hubby from KY would have never gotten me across the Mississippi,LOL!

I was just so blessed to have been to the Heaven-like place in this summer.
I had a great time there with some awesome American families and the 1st Longmonth Lutheran Church.

I love Colorado and I miss everyone I met there.
