You Might Be from Colorado If...
Got this by e-mail from Cousin Ken who lives in Colorado. Since I
was born in Colorado I decided to add it to my list of places you might
be from. My first one was about Minnesotans.
You might be from Colorado if...

Coloradoan.

in flight.

closer to see if it's someone you know.
