***I could, my husband just wouldn’t accompany me. lol He really loathes snow…
I personally don’t hate it, I was always a bit tentative driving in it…and such. The hills in PA on a black ice morning…
Not fun. I wouldn’t want to go back to that type of ‘harder lifestyle,’ so Florida is nice & easy in that regard. ***NOT COOL!
I always thought Colorado and Oregon were one in the same.

Gertie, Belgarion and I agree!
***Welcome to CAF!
There’s nothing crazy about that. We never put away our summer or winter clothes. I remember in college one January having temps in the 80’s one day (and wearing shorts and sandals) followed by snow the next day. That’s just life on the Front Range. I don’t think the weather is quite so variable in other parts of the state.
OH! OH! OH! How could you???

Excuse me? Are we showing our geography ignorance here? Ever heard of the Painted Desert? It’s right here in Colorado. Outside of Pueblo, it’s just plain old desert, with cactus, juniper, and plenty of interesting rock formations. And check out Canon City and the Royal Gorge for even better rock formations.They MAY be similar…but does Colorado have any deserts? I really don’t know, but if they don’t, add a big “HMM???” right there.
Yep, that whole “glow-in-the-dark” thing is pretty cool about that area.
I have been to Colorado many times, I have been all over the state. It does indeed have deserts, plains, lovely mountains and, of course, we cannot forget that the state bird is the mosquito.
(Denver does have a cooler bishop.)Oh no, another choice!
Well, my dh and I could sell off everything, buy one of those big RV’s and become nomads! :newidea:HA!! We win again!!I have been to Colorado many times, I have been all over the state. It does indeed have deserts, plains, lovely mountains and, of course, we cannot forget that the state bird is the mosquito.
But it does not have climate diversity of Oregon. We have everything from high desert, alpine forest, and even temperate rain forests. In the summer, you can go skiing in the morning and surfing in the afternoon. Pretty cool!
***LOL***I didn’t know that Colorado OR Oregon had deserts.
I would think fire raining from the sky would be a negative, but you lowlanders are a little different I hear.
Very, very few tornadoes (maybe one a year?) and almost entirely on the eastern plains. AND it’s an opportunity to clean out and start again.
Really, with all that moisture? Is it just too cold for them all year?:winter: And don’t you make up for it with your high number of tics?
Um, I think Colorado “wins” on this one – you can keep your liberals, thanks very much. And most of our liberals are in Boulder County for safe keeping
Thank you for agreeing with me. Very noble.
Perhaps, but we have elk (the males look like horses with tree branches on their heads). And our prong-horn sheep are simply lovely. And I bet we have more prairie dogs than you!
Fewer people? And just why would that be?
After all, Siberia, Greenland, the Sahara Desert, Australia’s Outback – they’re all bigger with fewer people, too.Wow, a whole year of non-stop mowing…
Oh, yeah!
I LOVED Christchurch!!! I think we went to Mass at St. Mary’s on Manchester Street, and rented an apartment for the week around the corner on St. Luke’s Close. We loved the Canterbury Museum, ate a couple times at Dux De Lux, and visited the Convention Centre, where my son in law gave a talk at an evolutionary biology meeting.
Fixed.
That’s one more a year than we get!!
Like I said, my sis’s place gets them, but I hardly see them anywhere else.
Probably, but I don’t pay attention to those people. I generally stick to me friends at Church.
That’s us Oregonians.
PSFFT!Perhaps, but we have elk (the males look like horses with tree branches on their heads). And our prong-horn sheep are simply lovely. And I bet we have more prairie dogs than you!
There’s nothing wrong with AustraliaFewer people? And just why would that be?
NO!! I mow my lawn sometimes in the fall, but I don’t mow it again until spring.Wow, a whole year of non-stop mowing…
Let’s see…Summer is hot, very little rain…Fall is cooler, a little sunny, but a good amount of rain…Winter…Snow or rain, still sunshine in there…Spring…Sun! Like right now! There was rain, too! But the weather shifts rapidly (In a good way) around here!Can you say “four distinct seasons”? We win!
We have state animals, birds, trees and state awesomeness.
YEAH!!Oh, yeah!
And Twilight! Don’t forget that one!
Them there’s fightin’ words! Prepare to defend yourself. Our state bird is the Lark Bunting.I have been to Colorado many times, I have been all over the state. It does indeed have deserts, plains, lovely mountains and, of course, we cannot forget that the state bird is the mosquito.

I made the final two!?!? I’m honored!! w00t!***Belgarion…this is funny. Talking about my son…last night, I was so confused with this thread…Colorado…Oregon…New Zealand, that I asked my son…is new zealand a state? hahahahaha He was like…mom, oh my gosh, you’re kidding right? I said what…he said…is NEW ZEALAND A STATE?!
I shook my head…lol Oops! I knew it wasn’t a state, I just got confused from this thread.
It’s been a long week. It was funny though.
We’ll move to Oregon or Colorado, and it all started because we were thinking of moving to New Zealand? :ehh:Our friends and family will have to read this thread to understand. ***
Ours is the Meadowlark, I think…
I do remember your temperate rain forests – and the banana slugs!!! Love those
HA! I’ve never even SEEN a Banana Slug before!!
