Sidetracking your thread a little, Dave, sorry.

After doing quite a bit of traveling the past few years, Denver is the place I always get homesick for after a few days so I guess it would be right here. I just love the proximity to the mountains, the city... everything! Its a good base of operations as it seems to be not too far from any state in the U.S (lots of shipping hubs are out here for companies) and I love having four seasons. I LOVE fall in the front range, and throw in getting all the Broncos games on local TV and you have a winner for me! I love traveling and fall in love with many places I visit, but my heart will always be with the city I have lived in my whole life.

Norway, Japan, or Colorado.

My only thing about Colorado is i'm really not a huge fan of snow the last couple of years. I drive a Ford Focus. I don't think those things go well together.

I'll take Colorado snow over Iowa wind any year.

I would bet Oklahoma wind is much worse.

Oklahoma isn't -20 when you get the wind. I get the dust bowl effect sucks, but I'll never live in Oklahoma.

School got cancelled once because of the wind. We also don't have trees. I've been to Aimes a few times. I can't remember if they have trees or not.

Monticello, Utah

I don't have to explain to you. Whatever.

I'd live on Anini beach in Kauai.

I'd love to retire in northwest Montana....will settle for living in it now....

What kind of nasty critters, venomous snakes/spiders, wolfs/cougars etc etc does Colorado have?

I don't think wolves are much of a concern. Standard lot of western American venomous creatures, rattlers, black widows and brown recluses.

Cougars are prevelant. I believe buffalo can provide proof.

That is one thing that we take for granted living in the UK - zero venomous/dangerous species, I think New Zealand is the same.

Except for the food of course.
