In Honor of Our Trip & Hopeful New Home

In a few weeks my wife, our good friend, and me will be making our way out to the beautiful state of Colorado. We have been there a few times in the past and it is by far one of the best places I have ever been. We have had a plan for several years to move out West somewhere and in the last few years we have decided on Colorado. This trip will be for scouting out the areas we already like, so that we can start making plans for our move in a little less than 2 years.

Therefore, I would like to share a list of laws in Colorado that do not make a lot of sense... or are just funny.

1. In Durango: It is illegal to go in public dressed in clothes "unbecoming" on one's sex.
2. In Denver: It is unlawful to lend your vacuum cleaner to your next door neighbor.
3. In Colorado Springs: It is permissible to wear a holstered six-gun within city limits, except on Sunday, Election Day, or holidays. (I will totally take advantage of this one!)
4. In Sterling: Cats may not run loose without having been fit with a taillight.
5. In Pueblo: It is against the law to raise or permit a dandelion to grow within the city limits.
6. In Logan County: It is illegal for a man to kiss a woman while she is asleep.
7. In Crippe Creek: It is illegal to bring your horse or pack mule above the ground floor of any building.
8. In Denver: It is illegal for Barber's to give massages to nude customers unless it is for instructional purposes.
9. Also in Denver: It is illegal to mistreat rats.

State Law says:
1. Car dealers may not show cars on a Sunday.
2. No alcohol beverage can be stored in hotel minibars in anything larger than miniature containers.
3. It is legal to remove the furniture tags that say, "Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law."
4. It is illegal for a woman wearing a red dress to be out on the streets after 7 PM.
5. It is illegal to ride a horse while under the influence.
6. It is illegal for liquor stores to sell food or grocery stores to sell any alcohol except beer that is at most 3.2% alcohol.

I just thought you would like to know...
