    Lol ok you've found a couple more of mine. Arvada was always one that gave a transplant secret away, same as Westminster. Westminster is pretty straight forward but transplants pronounce it properly, natives add an A for West mina ster, or as I like to call it wasteminster.

    I'm sitting on the back porch working, with headphones on, and I thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye when I turned my head.

    An opossum just walked by about 10 feet away. Once I put the light on him he scurried away so I didn't get a good picture of him.

    I can pick those up right? Their supposed to be really gentle.
