Hmmm, I guess a certain Argentine visitor failed to fill out the survey.

Oops... sorry. I meant Brazilian.

Denver doesn’t suck either. Plus we have mountains and actual seasons! ;)

With all due respect, gentlemen, we're not as crazy as she is.

What are these season things you speak of? Do they include yearly 5 month periods where you can’t go outside without preparing yourself against possible death due to hypothermia?

If so, I’ll gladly do without them.

Goodness no! You couldn’t pay me enough money to move to the upper Midwest. Average. Monthly Temps in Denver vs. Austin vs. Milwaukee. I’ll take Denver everytime, especially since we don’t have that pesky thing called “humidity”. Neither does Phoenix, but no wonder Tim complains about the heat.

Averages, schmaverages. It’s at least 110 every day in July, book it.

Also, this year I might experience a Phoenix summer and Denver winter all in the same 12 month period. Wouldn’t that be fun?

So, per your numbers, I see 7 months where Denver’s average low temperature is at or near freezing.

Guess you really proved me wrong, eh?

The “low” is in the doldrums of night when you should be snuggled in bed with Mrs. JRW. Look at the “mean” temperature and then get back to me. :P And srsly, until you spend any time in the Front Range, it’s hard to explain how (relatively) mild the winters are. Plus, snow is rarely on the ground for more than a few days and we have over 300 days of sunshine a year. And then there’s the humidity: Austin vs. Denver. WIN!

No humidity in Denver? Does that mean that your perspiration actually evaporates and cools you off instead of just soaking into your clothes and dripping to the ground?

I guess you DO win.

This is probably an omen. I can’t seem to find a job in Arizona, I think I will drop some apps in San Antonio tomorrow.

::shakes fist::

You’ve got competition. Funny thing is, the only bites I’ve received have been from AZ, where I’ve put in precisely zero job apps.

It’s fitting that the reporter’s last name is Bragg.

I love them comments too. “. . .good weather compared to wisconsin, and . . . I wouldn’t purposely be a tourist here if I had a choice”. Sounds positively enchanting.

PS. Yes, I know L A is a dump.

Hey if repeating as champions were that easy even the Spurs could do it.
