Great to hear Michael.  I am going back to Co in about 4 years when my
wife finishes nursing school.  Not allowed to move again until then.

Per the snow, I rode my motorcycle out there probably all but about
15-20 days a year.  In Georgia it's considerably less.  The humidity is
squat out there so everything evaporates rapidly.

Stay on the ale list but Co has some great linux lists as well:

Blug
nclug
clue

I've got addresses archived somewhere if you can't find em.
