Moving to Colorado on July 2nd, but I'm still not all that big on John Denver [View all]

"Did the math" after visiting family in Colorado late last month. I liked the town, I liked the people, I liked the possibilities. Nevada is basically last on the list when it comes to everything. I have been living in a dirt-poor, deep red town in a red state. I know some folks have an issue with some of the political leanings in Colorado but trust me...it's a step up.
