Altitude sickness will eat you alive….and they don’t call it the Mile High City for no reason. Actually this makes it the best place for any sort of polical rally or convention, you’re so busy trying to figure out how to breathe you haven’t a clue as to what’s being said. Also…loving Bey from the Springs name….we’re so arrogant we assume everyone knows that THE springs is Colorado Springs. If you’re from Manitou Springs you drop the Springs….if your from Idaho Springs you have to use both. Colorado Springs is like Madonna…we only need one name.

What Bey said plus less atmosphere between you and the sun up here. It makes for sunny winter days that feel 10 to 15 degrees warmer than the thermometer says but the same effect occurs during the summer so 70 can feel like 85 if there isn’t a breeze.

Because they all have altitude headaches, drank alcohol every night and are used to 80% humidity.

Heh. Buncha lightweights.

Lileks is right. Why do newservices send anyone at all when they could just make up something as good or better than reality? That’s what they did with the story about Bush 41 and the grocery store scanner, after all.

Anybody see Barak’s picture at Tim Blair’s site?

Here’s hoping James finds a awesome spot from which to video this evening’s Apotheosis.
