Move to CALIFORNIA. The weather here is the pits; (you've heard of the Denver Blizzards, no doubt, and I'm not talking about a pro sports team) no social life, nothing to do with your weekends. Honest! It's worse than Cleveland here. All that stuff about Rocky Mountain high is just hype. Any pictures you see of the mountains west of Denver and Boulder are actually pictures of Salt Lake City or someplace in the Grand Tetons! That article in Time Magazine about cocaine in Boulder was just a ploy by the Californians to get all their druggies to move here. They're talking about getting rid of Boulder's D.A. for being too soft on drugs, and we already have a law here of questionable constitutionality that allows the police to seize all of ones possessions if you're suspected of pushing drugs. Four big cocaine busts in the last year. Keep out! You would probably do better to move to Texas where there isn't even any state income tax. -- {decvax, hao}!stcvax!lat Larry Tepper {allegra, amd70, ucbvax}!nbires!stcvax!lat 303-673-5435
