America: It's like Britain, only with buttons.

My first experiences of Colorado travel have been rather severe.

It's rare to find someone excited over jury duty. If they're out there, I've never met them. Not a one. When the summons for jury duty arrives in the mail, how many people scream, 'Yes!' and run to clear the calendar? None.
