When the weather report says it's going to be 65 degrees, you shave your legs and wear a skirt.
It snows a foot and you don't expect school to be cancelled.
You'll wear flip flops every day of the year, regardless of temperature.

You went to Casa Bonita as a kid, and as an adult.
You've gone off-roading in a vehicle that was never intended for such
activities.
You always know the elevation of where you are.
You shop at King Soopers, but have no idea what Kroger is
You wake up to a beautiful, 80 degree day and you wonder if it's going to snow tomorrow.
You don't care that some company renamed it, the Broncos still play at Mile High

Having a Senator named Nighthorse doesn't seem strange.
