You need to spend some time away from Boulder when...

May regret putting this out there on the web, but here goes...

• You feel a bit affronted when a stranger doesn't greet you with a big smile and a friendly word.
• You say 'om' and 'namaste' without a little inward giggle.
• You assume there will be a well-maintained bike path to any local destination.
• The moms you are out for supper with assume you know what an "ACL" is.

Will never tire of these ponderosa pine trails.

• You double-take when you see an overweight person in the street.
• You think it is normal for middle aged men to go round clad in lycra emblazoned with cycling logos.
• The only non-white person you have any real contact with is your son's football coach.
• You assume that all American families have 2 cars, go ski-ing in Vail and Aspen and take an annual vacation to Hawaii.
• You always know which way is west (towards the mountains right?)
