Go check out Boulder. It has lots of outdoor stuff and it’s also a college town. It has tons of good restaurants.
Scruffy’s uncle lives in Boulder.

He, a very, very hard leftist, is trying to leave and move back to South LA.

He hates it there.

Some of the staunches progressives I have ever met were from South La. Populist types.

Depends on how much he'd have to pay the contact and how much he mails back. Flights are pretty cheap.

Boulder is awesome! The people there fricking suck. We spent a long weekend there touring the college with my youngest. The people there are off-the-rails. Hated the whole damn place. They can have it.

Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, or Utah haven't been invaded yet. Salt Lake City is getting bad.

Covid broke a lot of them.

My cousin, his daughter, was chased down and berated by, seemingly, normal residents of Boulder for going on a distance run without a mask.

That's awesome. Never really hear of them caught around here. Sometimes they get close out of Pensacola.

Denver is about the last place I'd live if I moved to Colorado.

I moved to Boulder 5 years ago from Baton Rouge. Best decision I've ever made. I go visit my family in Baton Rouge and after 2 days I'm ready to go back home to Boulder. There's so much to do around here, especially during the summer. Winters are that bad because when it snows, it's more of a dry snow. It can be snowing one day, and the snow melts the next day.

The only knock on living here is the housing market. Real estate is not cheap around here.

I lived in Georgia for a few years and loved it. We recently went to a wedding in Tenn and it was stunning. LA is flat and boring.



We did 10 days all through Yellowstone and various parks in the Summer.

Then we went to Lexington/Cincy for LSU/Bengal games.

I've had my fill of hills and mountains driving for a while.

Yeah bud, fall colors ended a couple of weeks ago. We're entering the winter brown season now.

I think I checked Zillow one time and you could purchase a nice house for about $350-400k…










A townhouse














1,000 square feet
