Mus on Capitol Hill (Denver)

While Andrew is hanging out with IT Geeks all day Mus decided to do a quick bicycle tour of Denver's Capitol Hill.

Mus is feeling a little like Godzilla standing next to the State Capitol building.

OH NO!!  It's Mus-zilla!

Posing next to the mile high marker (5,280'4.5" on the Capitol steps)

Mus is 'le tired' from climbing these steps so he decides to take a short nap.  Then it will be time to 'fire ze missiles!'

If the steps were a mile high then the top of the capitol dome must be 2 miles high!  Mus toured the inside and even stopped to pose in place of one of the US Presidents.

Look who Mus ran into on the front steps... Andrew!  No doubt he was checking his GPS watch to confirm he was exactly at 5,280' elevation.  Andrew seems silly to Mus at times for being like that but its a good thing there are people like him.  It turns out they have changed the 'official' 5,280' marker on the steps three times!  Of course Andrew was the one to tell Mus this... but it's true... its on the interwebs and everything is true on the interwebs.

Andrew thought he would impress Mus with his knowledge about the dome of the Capitol Building and how it was covered with 24 'carrots' mined from Colorado... rather unimpressed, Mus quickly retorted about how the moon was made of cheese and that carrots are grown and not mined.

After enjoying the mile high view from the steps of the Capital Building, Mus introduced Andrew to his friend Manitou.  Mus believes he might know why the horse is up there now based on something Andrew was saying about the strange spring water where the horse is from.

On their walk Andrew told Mus about the strangest place Mus has ever heard of.  Evidently they're going to a cafe where people eat Hard Rock(s) for dinner! Now this should be interesting!
