I bet the guy here, who's used to nearly a mile of elevation, can beat the pants off any soft sea-level cyclist.
Hence the anti-oxygen mask. Which I really did not know was a thing, outside of maybe Olympic trainees.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Brenda, it sounds like you work for my org. Ugh.
I have a cold. It's a little one, but it came on in an instant. One second I was fine, the next I had a stuffy head and postnasal drip.
This is my last day off before going back, so I am basking in the laziness. But, the I don't wannas about going back tomorrow keep creeping in.

Our wings are not tired.

Absolutely. I was in damn good shape (back in marathon days) when I visited Colorado the first time. We went up to one of the ski resorts and it was all I could do to walk across the parking lot to the ski lodge. I had to sit and rest before I could consider walking up the stairs. It was amazing how much difference elevation makes. I think we were at 11,000 feet while my house is at 14.
edit to fix actual height

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I drove to Pikes Peak once. (Is that around 14,000 feet?) It was cold so I changed from short to long pants in my car. I was so exhausted just from doing that.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
This is probably not up to ita levels of horrifying, because it is just a list, but I am horrified:

Ah, Utahns: "It's so warm out there! I left the house and wondered if I really needed a coat." "I know, it's nearly 30 degrees out there." "Yeah, dude, where are the palm trees!"
Highs last week were in the teens, so we can be forgiven for being a little giddy.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So I was mostly offline for the weekend as we were visiting my FIL with spotty wifi and come home to find out that some militia group or something is now occupying federal lands to protest the jailing of arsonists or something like that? WTactualF are people thinking there? Maybe I have my facts wrong

No, those are the basic facts, but layer them with the typical rightwing "The Federal government has no right to take my land away from me, even if it is Federal land that I've been using illegally!" mindset.

I'm horrified, Sophia, so I say: Count It!

So really they are just spoiling to start a civil war at this point? And the rest of the country is just trying to ignore them and not take the bait? No wonder the rest of the world thinks we are a bunch of assholes.
