13. You can never figure out why your out-of-town guests faint from
altitude sickness on a picnic to the mountains.

That would be me. Actually I've never fainted but I have felt as if I were going to die. If the descent to the lower altitude is not sufficiently gradual, I then spend the next two hours with uncontrollable yawning.



15. You know the 'correct' pronunciation of Buena Vista.

Is the "Buena" part same as the New Jersey pronunciation?




22. You know what a 'Rocky Mountain Oyster' is.

This is true of the whole region, including the intermountain West. I've seen more Testicle Festivals in Montana than anywhere.

23. You know what a "fourteener" is.

That's not a girl who doesn't look malnourished is it?


27. People from out of state breathe 5 times as often as you do.

That would again be me. I have flown unpressurized airplanes at altitudes close to 10K feet MSL without a problem; but in lots of places in Colorado, I'd be flying into the mountains, not above them.


31. You think a red light means 3 more cars can go.

Maybe that explains the driver behind me who guns it while I'm braking for the light. (I think some of those drivers may never have been to Colorado.)


32. Where we're going, we don't need roads!!

Where I live, I don't have a number-on-a-street address. It bewilders some people when I tell them, particularly when I order stuff from back East. The ask for the "rest of it."


35. Driving directions usually include 'Go over _________ Pass.'

Out here it's "Down to where the big pink house used to be then left."

36. You've 'checked for ticks'

Done that too, when I'm in the Eastern Seaboard. Lyme disease you know.

37. You've dressed in shorts, sandals, and a parka with a hood.

No, but I've seen kids in school with such getups. The rule seems to be they have to be Birkenstocks.


41. You've urinated on the Continental Divide just so it could run into
both oceans.

I've peed into the Atlantic, the Pacific and Hudson Bay all at the same time!
