Heading to Colorado

I had a customer manufacturing parts in Rollinsville.
Loved going up there to visit.

 

The shaggy mountain goats up there are the coolest!

 

That's no mountain goat, that's his wife!

 

Did you notice anything different about income tax in CO?

 

Looks sold to me.
Did Broome find out you wanted it?

 

Why not , instead of dancing around it, inform me . It's 4.63% of taxable income, flat rate. I'm not sure what I'm missing , but I am interested.

 

Spill the beans.

 

Flat rate. No deductions. No personal exemption.

 

"
Colorado's State and Local Tax Burden Ranks 35th
Colorado's 2012 tax burden of 8.9% ranks 35th highest in the nation, and is below the national average of 9.9%. Colorado's taxpayers pay $4,304 per capita in state and local taxes."

From that same site, tallied up , its below the national average state/local.

 

You're most likely thinking of Hwy 160 that runs East and West from Telluride (on I25) West through Durango towards four corners. Neat road with lots of gorgeous country.

 

160 doesn't get within 60 miles of Telluride.

 

That's my town!
(My name is Rollin)

 

It does when one takes Hwy 12 West out of Telluride and follows it West then North. One of the best bike roads in Colorado.

 

Holy shit Orvis, you could get lost going to the bathroom. Hwy 12 doesn't come within 100 miles of Telluride.

 

550 runs south into New Mexico and north up to Silverton , Ouray and close to Telluride. The dual sport riding is awesome in this area.

 

OK, it seems you have confused Walsenburg with Telluride. I've taken lunch in both towns while in the middle of long rides. They are, to put it mildly, different.

 

Orvis has been known to go to the restroom in Wanda's and come out of the restroom in El Paseo...

 

Is that only after Toyota started making cars in Mexico?

 

El Paseo... http://www.elpaseomex.com/ not El Paso...

Oh, and Orvis alternates between his 30-year-old Hot Rod El Camino and his Hyundi Elantra GT...

 

Maybe Colorado makes up for it with reasonable property taxes. Still amazes me, the house I bought in 87 in Texas has taxes almost as high as the much more expensive house I bought in California in 95.
