I dunno, but Fort Collins has four times the national suicide rate, very strange for such a hip, affluent town.I've noticed a pattern from Colorado.
The water?
I used to joke about how the water makes people weird because there AREN'T minerals in it, but recently I've come to a far more sobering conclusion; the local area is inundated with naturally occurring radioactive material and the dust blows it everywhere. We have a suspiciously high local rate of certain cancers, gall bladder problems and thyroid issues, among others.
They want to open a uranium mine twenty miles from here and many thousands of homes in the area have radon mitigation systems (basement vents!) installed, so I honestly don't think this is just paranoia talking.
