Post by: David in Jackson on September 18, 2014, 10:41:11 am: I'm nervous we'll end up in Colorado Springs, not a good place to be (everyone's last choice -- even the Rockies want to leave), although we hope it's only temporary (four years). Still, again gives me the feeling of bottom feeding, taking what's left, and the lack of an immediate plan. Hope to be in RR (or New Orleans) soon.

Is Colorado Springs as bad as Lancaster?

Absolutely. The travel guide will include helpful hints on minimalist wicking clothing and pointy cowboy boots. Lots of pointy cowboy boots.

Of course; don't you know about 9-A? It's where the 4-A guys eventually end up if they're really, really good.

Eh, take the lift down to the ground floor and stick it in your boot.

I may have mentioned this before...my sister used to live in a block of flats in London, which had an elevator installed by the Schindler company. Of course, it was forever known as "Schindler's Lift".
