I guess she was increasingly uncomfortable in the Midwest. Denver is like the LA of CO. She'll fit in just fine there. I hope she gets eaten by a bear.

Boulder is the liberal fruitcake power base of Colorado. She will fit right in there. I avoid that place like the plague.

I love Colorado. We've been there 3x in last two years for vacation and I used to get there 3 or 4 times a year for business. Great every where I went and then there's Boulder...looney tunes.

I always like to point out how in my neighborhood in SW Denver, at the 4 way stop by my house there is a stop sign at each street. In Boulder, a 4 way stop has about 87 signs around it. Beginning with the "Stop ahead" signs, you have flashing red lights on the stop signs, signs for a bike lane in the road with stop ahead and stop signs for it, amber "ped x-ing" signs and arrows pointing down to the crosswalks, signs on the sidewalks that say "cross here" and have arrows pointing at the crosswalks, "crosswalk ahead" signs before the intersection, etc., etc., etc. It is absolutely ridiculous. I go to Boulder about once a year but I will have to get some pictures the next time I go up there.

In Boulder county it is illegal to carry any kind of pocket knife at all. The rest of the state has a 3 1/2" blade limit (fixed or folding) for concealed and no limit for open carry of knives. The state just legalized auto-opening knives for carry (switch blades) to take effect in August.

There is a show on TV called "Rocky Mountain Law" where they follow around cops in Colorado, most of them in Eagle County with Aspen and Vail. There was one episode where the cops were in Boulder County and were looking for suspects for something or other. They had calls from concerned citizens about men camping by a river so they went to investigate. They were normal guys like you or I, camping and fishing. They had an AR that they were doing target shooting with. The Boulderites called the police because of the AR. I'll never forget the cops talked to the guys, saw they were doing nothing wrong, and told them "Be careful when you shoot your AR. This is Boulder County and things are different here."

Never forget that the Rocky Flats Plant is just a little way upstream. Maybe a self-solving problem in a couple of generations.

Word on the street is that Shannon Watts has moved to Denver. Perhaps Bloomberg has her running for Congress against Cory Gardner in 2020?

I got a great engineering education at The University of Colorado at Boulder, and lived there for four years. Sure, the place is full of hippies. That being said, it is phenomenally gorgeous. Don't let the hippies scare you off. If you get out there, hit up the Golden Buff for breakfast or brunch or grab one of the famous margaritas at The Rio for dinner.

I've got a lot of love for Boulder.

I agree it's definitely beautiful. My fear is we leave the lunacy of MD for a better looking asylum. Of course we could always go further west into the mountains.
