Six Things I Didn't Know About Colorado

Colorado is known for it's beautiful Rocky Mountain landscape, premier ski resorts and of course the Denver Broncos.  My recent visit to the mile high state I discovered 6 things I didn't know about Colorado.

1)      Puppy Chow is made in Denver.  When you drive by the plant it smells like puppy breath.  It made me want to go out and buy a puppy.  Instead I drove by it again.  Who doesn’t like puppy breath?

2)      There is a huge Budweiser plant outside of Fort Collins.  I thought Coors ruled that state?  How did they let a Budweiser plant in?  They offer tours.  I will be attending one of those tours the next time I’m in town as I need to know how they managed to manufacture beer in the Coors family backyard.  I can also report back to my Bud drinking friends in MT how it’s made.

3)      When traveling on I-25 North it turns in to a two lane hi-way on each side.  There are signs posted that read: “State Law Keep to the Right Expect When Passing”  I got pulled over for traveling on the left for an extended period of time.  I told the officer that I thought it was only a suggestion.  I had no idea they took that so seriously.  He let me go without a ticket.  What I find interesting is that I was also speeding at the time.  He didn’t bring up my speeding violation.  So apparently if you are on I-25 you can speed but you better keep to the right hand lane!

4)      Denver has some of the most beautiful people in the world.  Healthy, fit, glowing. What is it about Denver that attracts such people?  Is there a city ordinance  that prohibits anyone unfortunate looking? Since I wasn’t asked to leave in violation of such an ordinance I will take that as a compliment.
 
5)   If you are single move to Denver right now. I'm totally serious. Move, do not waste any time.  I've never seen more single people running around in one place in my whole life and based on my observations are having a great time.  If you're looking for a relationship you will clearly increase your odds as well.
 
6)   Colorado people seem to always be in a good mood. I guess there is nothing to be in a bad mood about.  They're attractive, successful, smart and live in a beautiful state. 
 
Colorado my hat's off to you. I can't wait for my return to find out of what you have to offer.
