What state should you live in?
« on: February 10, 2012, 03:13:19 PM »
Not enough specifics

Mine all came out as states in the south, but neither my wife nor I can tolerate the long, hot, HUMID summers.

Kansas?  

Maybe a little.  But it lacks big country and cattle.  Or, the cattle don't outnumber the humans by a high enough ratio.  And trout, elk, antelope, moose, wind, sagebrush, gumbo mud, the northern lights?  I'm thinking not.

That quiz is stupid.  They said I should live in Alaska, even though I like snow only "sometimes."  Other states:

Quote
Kansas
Mississippi
Vermont
Virginia
Washington

The same Kansas that voted for Sebellius to be their governor?  Vermont, when I said I was very conservative?  Now Virginia, I've been eyeing.

I got Kansas.

Don't mistake what I say, but while Kansas is fine and dandy with me, Kansas is not Nebraska.

The other five suggestions:

Kentucky
Mississippi
North Carolina
Oklahoma
South Carolina

It says I should live in North Carolina...well, the SC/NC state line is about 15 miles north as the crow flies.

Then I get....

Virginia
Alaska
Delaware
Indiana
Maryland

...Virginia maybe but the rest, no to hell no.

I should live in Alaska ??

Funny how I don't much care for temperatures where one has to wear more than a t-shirt (optional) and shorts in mid-winter.

I'd rather go for one of the alternate suggestions of Texas, Alabama or Mississippi.

I lived in Wichita for over 2 years. My summation is, it's a great place to live, but you wouldn't want to visit there.

If the mosquitos don't chase you out of Alaska, the football-sized cow pies bear tracks definitely will.  I woke up early one morning to take a whizz outside of our tent and encountered the biggest pile of poo I've ever seen.

Trying to run and pee at the same time didn't work out too well (I was trying to outrun the mosquitos).

Saw a fellow in Alaska wearing a BeeKeeper outfit ...to keep the mosquito's off.

I had a hat, but after the third or fourth day you mostly get used to them.  My mistake was choosing to take a leak outside.  It was like a banzai attack.

Oh the skeeters wouldn't bother me so much - I'm pretty used to them. Have had to do the run-and-pee thing though. That's the one part of the body that's really unsuited to being liberally coated in DEET.

Bears on the other hand.... nawthanks.

We might have 16+ foot carnivorous geckos about these parts but they generally won't bother attacking you unless you pretty much flop yourself down into their dinner bowl.

There was one bear near the village, but he was relatively small.  Some of the bigger brown bears I saw on the flight over almost made me crap my pants.

Alaska.

Arkansas
Missouri
Nevada

Kansas

Either it honed in on the fact that I don't want to live near people, or this is a site run by the Alaskan Hospitality Board.

Chris--come on up here sometime.  The mosquitos up here have landing lights.

And if this state weren't such a soup sandwich sometimes from the liberal dipshits invading from flatlandville, I'd seriously consider retiring in the North Country.  2 BR, 2BA cabin on 5 acres within spitting distance of snowmobile trails and the lake for $140K.  Yeah, I can deal.

And really, as longview can attest, if you don't like people, MT and WY are also excellent choices, when "major" towns are 5000 people.

Hell, I don't even think Cheyenne has cracked 100K yet.  When I lived in Gillette during the first boom in the early 80's, I think it was 15K at the time.  Not sure where it is now, but it's up there as far as size within the state.

No snowmobile trails but you could get 100 acres in the most rural part of the county and a cabin a few miles from a great lake for that here.

A lot on the lake however would be about that price....minus the cabin.
