I am willing to bet I'm higher than any DUer right now!
Elevation-wise, that is. :evilgrin:

Once again I'm coming to you live from my house/dogsitting gig on the mesa near my little Colorado hinterland town -- just me and the sled dog team, watching the wet snow fall.

The bar is set at 8,105 feet. Anyone higher? :bounce:

11. Because Robb used to end every poll with:
"Robb is a dingbat"

And it caught on.

It helps that he is a dingbat.
