Got a special spot in my heart for Colorado Girls…
Daughter-Michael. Sis. Mom. Niece.
Colorado is great. Hiking. Biking. Skiing. Fresh Air. Awesome views.
What’s not to like?
Oh, yea… the Kool-aid drinking, snooty Lib-Morons in Boulder.
*bummer*

I have a special place in my heart for vids that don’t suck. This song makes me want to remove my eardrums from their home in the side of my head with a dull Phillips head screwdriver and I’m already about 75% deaf.
The song is pretty much as Blazer says, but damn, I loved living in the Springs. Great state, and a great town.
Just for you, Blazer, I added a second vid.
I dumped this vid at .23
Slow of me.
Growing up, I spent a week every summer at my Grandparents in the suburbs of Denver. I still have Family in that area.
But in the 1960′s and ’70s the big deal there was to have a “Colorado Native” bumper sticker on your vehicle.
Even as a child I questioned that mindset.
TXMarko, they were getting tired of the damn Californians moving in.
Then they shouldn’t have made the State so attractive to begin with!

I blame John Denver!
At least the Surfer Bums could not successfully migrate…..
Unless they were really stoned…
Michael and Cathy, Mr. L just found the solution to save the goldfish:
The Scarecrow is versatile enough to keep deer, rabbits, and other foragers from snacking on plants and bulbs, to prevent dogs from digging up newly seeded lawns, to keep the cat from using your garden as a litter box, and to scare predators like herons and raccoons away from your fish pond.
Lipstick, we can buy about 200 goldfish for the cost of that thing.
I changed the water in our water feature today. It was murky.
In the process, I lectured the surviving goldfish.
“Stay out of sight,” I said. “Hide under the lily pads.”
Hopefully, they will heed this useful advice.
Well, the smarter fish cost more money. Plus you’ll have heron poop all over your yard.
Think of all the fun when the mailman walks through your yard.
fish are good about that.. following instructions. They’re like, beagles.
Hey, did I mention how I made Laura laugh her little ass off about me killin the last round? The ones she specifically asked her friend in Texas who like, knows shit about Texas and all…
Those damn lilies are gone man.
Gone.
Hanging out in Steamboat Springs until Monday. It. Is. Gorgeous. Lots of likely lasses as well, though I could do without the lesbians hitting on my wife.
Geoff did you ever think that maybe they are bi. Jesus do you use all your brains to make charts?
They’re not bi. They’re definitely not bi.
They’re not bi. They’re definitely not bi.

Yea! Mrs. Geoff… another Colorado Girl!

Fish are actually smarter than beagles. You should know that.
But in the 1960′s and ’70s the big deal there was to have a “Colorado Native” bumper sticker on your vehicle.
Those made a big comeback with the huge influx of Californians in the late 90s and early 00s.
Geoff:
Make sure to visit Strawberry Park Hot Springs while in Steamboat. 15 mins from town, very private, and “clothing optional” after dark..

We considered it, but opted for the family-friendly Old Town Hot Springs instead.
Yeah, with the kids, it would be a bit weird at the nudie place.
Some things they can’t un-see.
Used to have a ‘Connecticut Native’ bumper sticker on my car but everybody thought I was just looking for sympathy.
Daddy Michael & Momma Cathy always told us there were no REAL monsters, but they were wrong.
We’d better get going and find a place to hide under the lilly pads. The herons mostly come out at night. Mostly.
My Mom lives in Central City, CO, 40 miles west of Denver, in the mountains 8600 feet up. There’s no WalMart or whatever, but there are dozens of casinos ! I lived in CO for about 20 years off and on. It’s a gorgeous place to visit and a nice place to live. Much of CO used to be part of Texas. That explains the beauty part.
I have a little blog where I write a short post (history, trivia, goofy stuff) on Texas, Maine and Colorado every day. I don’t want to blog pimp too much, so I’ll leave it at that.
My BIL put a fence-charger out by the pond and ran wire around and across the middle. He’s got a picture of a VERY surprised heron, just after he touched the wire while standing in the water! He’s not been back…
Boy, does that video bring me back.
I spent my college years in the late 70′s in Boulder, and the sentiment that Colordan’s-Shit-Don’t-Stink was prevalent even then. That “Colorado Native” bumper sticker was all over the place. Many natives simply couldn’t stand Texans. Of course, they were happy to have them spend their money at the ski slopes, resorts, etc., but somehow if the Coloradans had had their way, the Texans would have just mailed it in rather than, you know, polluting up the place by physically being in the state while spending those bucks.
YMMV, but I think of Colorado as a stunning place to visit, but the Coloradans seem to think that they, rather than God, had a hand in making it, and aren’t terribly welcoming.
Boulder?
That’s not Colorado, that’s San Francisco East — wrong side of the divide!
Steamboat Springs is more like it.
But, even Steamboat has fallen victim to the so-called “Progressive” disease. We now call it The People’s Republic of Steamboat Springs.
