Things seem to have changed in Colorado.

I seem to be on a bit of a nostalgia kick this evening. It may be related to being down after my beloved Broncos rolled over, played dead and let the jerk K.C. punks beat them. If Denver is 2 and 14 and both victories are against K.C. then their year is a success. Oh well, that isn't the real purpose of this post.

When we lived in Colorado things were a bit simpler. There were the flat lands of eastern Colorado, the Front Range and Western Slope. In my recent readings on the net and talking to friends it seems that in today's world the state is being looked at as 6 or 7 distinct areas depending whether one considers Denver as separate or part of the Front Range. There are some who say the San Juan Mountains are part of the Western Slope and some who say no. I haven't looked closely at how the Colorado tourism people look at it but will get to it. When looking at maps, considering culture, lifestyles and such the 6 or 7 seem to make a lot of sense.

I am going to do a bit more looking around and will be redoing ColorfulColorado.com to better reflect the way the state is viewed on the 21st Century. I guess saying this is no big whing ding but this site is a pet project and I just felt like doing it.
