My commute has gone from 10min to 20min. It is ompletely unaceptable. All these people from CA, IL, and TX need to just stop coming here. But then again, I have a 40% rise in the price of my house in 5 years, so... it might be time to get Wifey the gigantic place she wants.
so you had a "i'm almost native coloradoan bumper sticker" made?

Back in the day Colorado had Native, Semi Native and Alien bumber stickers on many cars. It was a proud time when people respected the value of cheap immigrant labor. Mowing your own lawn and cleaning your own pool didn' t have to happen. There were people that...

I've been told to leave work because of the weather. Not sure why I should even bother when the traffic looks like this garbage...

This should be fun. :s

Land of Milk and Honey and all that... oh - and weed. :D
Not sure about that first part. :drag:

But there are a sh!t ton of jobs. As companies get priced out of the bay area, they open up shops here. Amazon has a huge shop here, ebay opened up a shop a few years ago, then there are just the usual Portland shops like Intel, Nike, Adidas all growing like crazy. If you have any possible IT related skills, you can't be out of work unless its by choice.

<edit> Don't get me started on the jackasses running the price of housing through the roof.

Snow, snow, and more snow. Shoveled eight inches out of the driveway before heading out for the day at 1100, just got home at 1415 and there is another 3-4 inches. Driving around was fun.

If I get snow like that, I'm buying a snow blower. Fuck all that shoveling shit. Plus I have about 270' of sidewalk to clear on top of a 3 car driveway. :/

No. But I'll bitch about anybody who got here after me.
It's the Colorado way!

Clearly you put a lot of thought into this whole "moving to Nebraska" thing. Didn't anyone tell you that it snows there? ;)

In hell. Welcome!
Yeah I've been pricing them out on Home Depot's website.

I'm just gonna be a stubborn ass and wait for the first big snow before I get one probably.
I've just caved in and got me a new Ariens Deluxe 24. Like you, I was in the waiting pattern for a while, but now that almost all local home depots are out of stock, I finally pulled the trigger.

(see how many stupid idioms I can stuff in two lines of text? #winning!)

I'm looking at the Cub Cadet 3 stage thingy, it looks fancy!
Are there many Club Cadet owners (and dealers and service centers) in your area? Here in New England, every man and his dog own an Ariens. Apparently they are indestructible, some I've seen are 30+ years old.

Watched National Lampoons Christmas Vacation with the kids. They liked it. Totally forgot there was some *bad* language and slightly naughty innuendo...

My own world inside my head
Thus is my fourth winter in Montana, there is no reason I should not already have a snow blower other than I have thus far refused to be that lazy, but once I have my own home... let the laziness rule
