Colorado-isms Part 2

So last year when I travel west to see my daughter I did a blog about the various quirks I noticed of being in a different region and the people that live there. The following is a continuation and update of that first post.

  • I meet a lot of people that live there now, but are not from there originally, including a lot of New Englanders
  • I was picked out from not being a local for my vernacular and colloquialisms...use of 'wicked', and few other nor'eastern terms.
  • I got to have a rare brew to find that is brewed in CT while I was in Colorado.
  • My beard is now long enough to be accepted as a local, I know this because of the eye contact and head nod of approval from other bearded humans.
  • I still have not seen any big horned sheep.
  • The locals panic when they have no snow.
  • The country roads in the mountains are scary, they are twisty and turny, narrow, and have no guard rails.
  • My beard likes the climate there better, as I needed less to keep it manageable. 
  • Buffalo and elk are delicious.
Until next time...
