Where do you live, Timmmay.....Siberia? I haven't seen a single snow flake this entire winter.Man, I'm one lucky dude. The sun's been shining on my bald head all winter.I have to admit that I admire you midwestern slys. You certainly have guts to go driving in all that slippery icy mess.
...where else can you take a midweeks summer drive thru the country and see 4 work horses pulling a plow with 1 amish guy on the back steering.
.....It's funny you mention quakes, Rob as a criticism of living in CA.
Being from cajun country and being able to see some parts (not nearly enough) of this country, I am living back in La. I bitch about it all the time, but i do love the swamp. Fishing, hunting, scenery is beautiful. My personal favorite part of the country is the desert southwest (four corners region) that, to me, is the most breathtaking place to VISIT. Because of the way our society is, we tend to never be satisfied with what we have or where we are. Everyone knows I really miss the rocky mountains, but some part of me is glad i don't live there. Cause living there, I fear, I may take that beauty for granted if I saw it everyday. People come here and are amazed by the Atchafalaya Basin. I grew up around here and it is just normal for me to see it everyday. You guys in the mountains see them everyday and would probably think other places are beautiful, just like I think other places are. My point is this, love where you are and admire the beauty you have around you. I can always take a trip to the mountains, or the desert southwest, or the east coast, etc (you get the point), but even though these places are beautiful in their own way, south louisiana is home for this coonass. But I do appreciate ALL the other areas of this world for what they have to offer. So instead of condemning what you haven't experienced, just go out and see the country. Take it all in like you are a 7 year old when everything is amazing. You may see some things that blow you away, and you will always have the memories to keep as your own when you get back to wherever HOME is. CARPE DIEM = SEIZE THE DAY.
