For the past week I've been on the road with my family. We stopped in Denver to visit family, and I have to admit I was not impressed with the city. Luckily we got a chance to go down to Colorado Springs which improved my impression of the state. This all brought to mind something I said in the Summer of Flagstaff which became a point of contention among some. I don't really remember what I said, but I think it was something like "Denver is the Dallas of the West," which would be odd because I had never been to Denver. And Dallas isn't a very exciting town, and so the implication was not positive. If anyone recalls the exact events, please remind me and post them as I seem to remember them being pretty hilarious and/or ridiculous.
I would like to come up for a new saying that belittles the Rockies, because now that I have seen them I find them to be a rather pathetic mountain range. Maybe it's because they're so near Denver; I'm not sure.

Actually, Tiffany is from Colorado Springs, not Denver. And I'm surprised you like that city better than Denver. Colorado Springs is home to stuff like Focus on the Family and other similarly myopically conservative forces.
