You Might Be From Colorado If:

You have a business degree and are frying burgers at a Mcdonald's in Vail.
You own a big dog named Aspen, Buck, Cheyenne or Dakota that wears a bandanna.
Your real fear is running out of Celestial Seasonings tea and trail mix.
The entire top of your head is bald, but you still have a pony tail.
You think that formal wear is ironed denim.
North means "mountains to the left"; south is "mountains to the right"; and east and west are where all those liberals keep moving in from.
You consider a three-piece suit to be a pair of shorts, a sweatshirt and Birkenstocks.
You have stood on solid ground and looked down on an airplane in flight.
