Well, we survived the Colorado Springs trip! The show was decent, considering the shambles our economy is in. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was reading one of the "Springs" independent newspapers...it had a caricature of George Bush, with a caption that said "That's All Folks!" It was like Porky Pig and Looney Tunes. The paper said that 40% of El Paso county voted for OBAMA! That is a miracle of all miracles! I just can't describe to you how conservative that area has always been. Up until this year, there wasn't ONE government position held by a Democrat.
I had so many positive comments on my Obama buttons. Obama supporters walked around with HUGE smiles on their face...and everyone would say the same thing, "This feels so good!" And I would agree! It does feel good. Like a huge weight has been lifted off! Ahhhhh.....
We also had some great sushi with some friends who live in Colorado Springs. They are a bi-racial couple, and when they first moved to the Springs, Jimmy said they got so many stares. One of the first questions he was asked by his neighbors was, "What flock do you belong to?" Isn't that just weird? Some of those people are whacky!
I saw a billboard that said, "Imagine No Religion." What a great city to have that billboard in. The website is ffrf.org, I believe. I'm going to check it out today.

I'm glad the trip went okay. That does sound like a cooky place!
Sounds like the trip was good. I like Colo. Springs but haven't spent as much time there as I have in Denver. Its nice to hear there was Obama supporters, I'm worried about going home only do deal with friends who keep saying that are going to lose their jobs in the oil field thanks to Obama, which is ridiculous. I guess you can't teach a redneck idiot new tricks though... oh wait that's an old dog, not a redneck... hmmm, maybe they are the same thing? Sorry to ramble.
