Is anyone else annoyed at being called "Elsewhere" for our region? Sounds just so, well, insignificant to me. How about some suggestions that would better suit our chosen locales? Something like maybe... Colorado, the Nether Regions or Colorado, the Crannies (or Crevices, or maybe Crevasses?) Colorado, the Best Bits Or??? |

I'm pretty good with Elsewhere.
Or perhaps, "the better parts..."

Are not.
Yeah, chew on THAT conundrum.
Also, basically we're big enough to count but not big enough to need our own regions.

I agree - the Best Bits is good - but I'm thinking - 'the higher elevations"!

I'm in souteastern Colorado where the mountains exist only in fantasy. It's flat plains out here: 30 miles from Kansas and Oklahoma...aka...the middle of nowhere.
