Weird, I've been in Albuquerque a couple of times in recent years, which is a little higher than Denver, and (theoretically) should be dryer, being in the desert, though the air there hasn't felt as dry.<br /><br />Mostly I just noticed in Denver that I was getting sleepy/nappish in the early evenings, probably due to lack of oxygen in the Martian-like atmosphere. (Minneapolis, where I live, is about 900 feet above sea level, lowlands compared to Denver.)<br /><br />I haven't checked the facts on this, though instinctively I'm thinking the thinner air would mean alcohol, even a small amount, would hit harder than at a lower altitude/thicker air.<br /><br />But enjoyed the conference apart from that, all the stuff you said. In general it just seemed like an easier amble, with wider brighter spaces. And there was always someplace handy to sit down between events.<br /><br />(Car accident sounds **scary** -- so glad all were okay.)Lyle Daggetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731915540520704368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221959636094249465.post-10110676949139536712010-04-13T13:06:05.571-04:002010-04-13T13:06:05.571-04:00Hi Reb, so good to finally meet you.
