The vast majority of people i’ve come across in Colorado are not sarcastic. One day it dawned on me that my closest friends in Colorado are all sarcastic. Moreover, they all hail or at least their parents hail from the east coast. There’s a certain level of comfort knowing that your comments aren’t taken literally and therefore you only save sarcastic comments for those you like or love. For example, I once asked my wife how many synthetic fabrics were killed to make her jacket.

When it comes to mortgages, telling a borrower that “rates are going North for the winter” or that “rates are taking the elevator and going up” just doesn’t cut it. I guess they’d prefer the real reason that rates are going up, “Yield curve is close to flat as Federal Reserve official says economy is strong and more rate hikes may be needed.
