[clue-talk] Relocating to Colorado

[David Rudder]

Yep, that one!

Also, there's a great skate park in Nederland.  It's about an hour drive 
from Broomfield.  If you're into little hippy hideaways in the 
mountains, it's a great place.  Also, if you climb, it's the starting 
point for many 14ers.  The skate park is rumored to have been funded by 
Tony Hawk after he won on Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader.  The 5th 
grader was from Ned...or something like that.  I never got the details 
straight.

You'll probably want to wait until the summer.  They say Ned has 3 
seasons....winter, July and August.  Personally, I think "winter" is too 
tepid a word to describe the weather there after Veteran's Day.  Maybe 
"Deep Freeze" or "Holy sh*t it's cold".
