Denver Thoughts (So Far)

- My 6am flight out of Oakland ended up being a disaster. I thought it would have been a light passenger load, but nope, nearly full. I didn’t check my bag this time — a new experiment — and I found it not to be worth the effort. Baggage claim from here on. The rental car site is a twenty-minute shuttle ride from the airport, and you arrive at a farm of rental car lots. The total time from touchdown to sitting in a car was roughly one hour. The total time from wake-up in California to working in the Denver office was six hours. I thought Denver was closer.
- My favorite warning sign (read: yellow) on the road has to be “CORRECTIONAL FACILITY: DO NOT PICK UP HITCHHIKERS.” I wonder how many drivers miss that sign. And the sign shouldn’t be yellow, but brown/informational, like at state parks.
- I like this slogan out here: “Landscapes do not waste water, people do.” That was on the back of a van. I’m assuming — safely, presumably — that the van is owned by a landscaping company.
- The main terminal of the Denver Airport — with its fabric structure — must have been designed by Birdair, whom I worked for during the summer following my freshman year at Syracuse. (Yep, I’m right.)
- And the view of the snow-capped Rockies from this conference room is pretty cool. Pretty golden, I should say. Coors, anyone?

You should concentrate on work while your in Denver. Don’t bother with the Coors, go for the Miller Chill. It’s the hip thing to do in the Rockies.

The coors beer in denver does taste alot better than coors anywhere else. This is due to the fact that it isn’t shipped warm. I’m not a fan of coors in general but when i was in denver, they went down smoothly.
