I guess the Rockies should be over any World Series jitters they might have had. It doesn't get much worse than 13-1 in the opener, hopefully they'll settle down now and take care of business.

This morning's paper mentioned that the Colorado Springs Airport is doing very well again, and this years travellers may hit a 6 year high as a result of Express Jet and Midwest Airlines starting service here. Access for air travel is pretty important to a lot of people these days, both for business and for family access. You can see what flights leave for where on what airlines with this handy flight schedule link. Express Jet in particular gives great nonstop service to the West Coast, with San Diego, Sacramento and Ontario flights. It's pretty handy for househunting trips as well!

Denver International Airport (DIA) is only 75 miles north of us, and wherever you can't get from the Springs on a non-stop, you can almost always get via DIA. With United and Frontier both making Denver a hub, and service from Southwest and many international carriers, "the world is your oyster"!
