So, Maybe We Won't Be Moving To Boulder

When I graduate from school next year, we're planning on moving somewhere new.  A city that isn't as hot, redneck, or Red as the East Phoenix area.  Some of the cities on the short list include Portland, Boston and the Denver/Boulder, CO, area.

So far this week, wildfires have destroyed over 170 homes on the outskirts of Boulder.  To make things worse, Boulder is expecting 60 mph winds and for the fires to possibly spread within the city to the West side. The West side is home to much of the university and has a number of fraternity and sorority houses in the danger area. Boulder is a beautiful city of close to 100,000 people.  We're keeping our fingers crossed for the sake of those in the city.  Yahoo has a number of pictures of the damage and destruction so far.
