Metroblogging DC: Reassuring: posted by Don Whiteside at 11:00 AM on October 19, 2007

It's easy to be cynical about people in this city, whether because they have a wide stance, like to chat up the wrong people online, or just in general seem selfish in their behavior. I'm finding that taking mass transit is instead exposing me to people's little courtesies and kindnesses, and they put my day off to a good start. Maybe they'll improve yours.

Comment 3 of 3:
Plus, once you move to denver, co, and see that people are strangely MORE detached than the masses of DC, and more oblivious to others, but with an air of pretentiously, and topically feel 'small town' country but 'big city' character, a person realizes just how great the people of DC are, after all...

good couples' climbing photo, huh? a successful (but short) trad lead climb, and two other medium routes for three people and a warm, sunny, windy afternoon.

I knew i'd need the .4 c4 camalot! it perfectly fits a "normal" fingercrack... i knew it :)

Law school is exciting if you like reading and drinking mass amounts of coffee.

Town of Limon, Colorado - Home: "Welcome To Limon, Colorado"

My Email to the Town of Limon this morning:

I have driven through your town three times, and stayed in a hotel there on two occasions. As a contributor to at least some taxes to your town, I feel I have earned a modicum of right to email you to answer a quick question on Limon to settle a disagreement between a friend and I.

When spoken, does Limon sound like "lee-mon" "lye-mon" and which syllable is the emphasis on, the first or second (LEE-mon or lee-MON)?

If you can provide any words that sound like the way most Limon-ians pronounce the town's name, that would also be helpful. For example, Toano, VA is pronounced TOE-ANN-oh (First two syllables stressed), but no words I can think of rhyme with it.

Thanks.

-Mark

And their quick response:

It is pronounced like LYE-mon

I was right!
