The third annual Quality of Life Indicators Report (for the Pikes Peak region) was released yesterday. Among the nuggets: El Paso county ranks 19% higher than the national average in per capita consumption of alcohol. Not to brag, but that number has gone way up since I moved here.
See the Gazette story here. Best quote so far from the comment section: "Ted Haggard was such a fitting role model for a community of non-introspective homophobes."
The article makes it sound like this is such a horrible place to live. To paraphrase Bill Hicks, "I watch CNN and hear about war and death and AIDS and famine...then I look out my window and I don't see anything. Where the hell is all this stuff going on?" Guess when your quality of life is based on only two things, booze and trails, this is a great place to be!

hey, whatever happened to that guy that wanted to sell hotdogs, but the other stores around him were all pissed off?
He's still there, and the price of hot dogs in Manitou has dropped considerably.
Bill Hicks was a genius!
