I have been living here in Colorado for almost 3 years and I noticed it is so dry in this place, the good part though is that I can't smell myself like I was in a humid California and Philippines, here my arm pit doesn't sweat, the problem on dry weather plus high elevation is lack of oxygen there are times that I'm catching my breath here, but when it's dry I turned on my humidifier and it fixes something somehow, there are plenty of this stuff for sale in sears so I don't have to worry getting too dry inside my house.
Also, my dogs keep scratching to the max, in fact I had to purchased a huge amount of cod liver oil just to help them stop itching, poor dogs have alot of dry flaky skin, I have a poodles so it gets too hot for them, but after giving them a cod liver oil and some other vitamins they look better.
My grass in the lawn though needs more rain or else I have to run the sprinkler all the time and gave me a higher water bill, oh well I guess it's worth it when they turned green, beautiful.
