Yep. <br>

Especially Continental Divide (Divide Ride held somewhere along it
every year), or the 'interstate', although right where live we actually
have two that touch. We HAVE had a bear running down the street, the
first fall we lived here. I've also had a mammoth mountain lion trot
up the street of our current house one summer, following a herd of
deer. Our neighbor got a call from the cops in the middle of the night
to get his horse running up Main St.. The same cat chased it and it
broke THROUGH the fencing to escape.<br>

When the weather report says it's going to be2065 degrees, you shave
your legs and wear a skirt. <br>
It snows 5 inches and you don't expect school to be cancelled.<br>
You'll wear flip flops every day of the year, regardless of temperature.<br>
You have no accent at all, but can hear other people's. And then you
make fun of them. <br>
'Humid' is over 25%.<br>
Your sense of direction is: Toward the mountains and Away from the
mountains. <br>
You say 'the interstate' and everybody knows which one. <br>
You think that May is a totally normal month for a blizzard. <br>
You buy your flowers to set out on Mother's day, but try and hold off
planting them until just before Father's day.<br>
You grew up planning your Halloween costumes around your coat. <br>
You know what the Continental Divide is. <br>
You don't think Coors beer is that big a deal. <br>
You went to Casa Bonita as a kid, and as an adult. <br>
You've gone off-roading in a vehicle that was never intended for such
activities. <br>
You always know the elevation of where you are. <br>
You wake up to a beautiful, 80 degree day and you wonder if it's going
to snow tomorrow. <br>
You don't care that some company renamed it, the Broncos still play at
Mile High. <br>
Every movie theater has military and student discounts. <br>
Everybody wears jeans to church. <br>
You actually know that ** South Park ** is a real place not just a show
on TV. <br>
You know what a 'trust fund hippy' is, and you know its natural habitat
is Boulder <br>
You know you're talking to a fell ow Coloradoan when they call it
Elitches, not Six Flags. <br>
A bear on your front porch doesn't bother you. <br>
Your two favorite teams are the Broncos and whoever is beating the crap
out of the Raiders. <br>
When people out East tell you they have mountains in their state too,
you just laugh. <br>
You go anywhere else on the planet and the air feels 'sticky' and you
notice the sky is no longer blue. </font></font></font></font></div>
