What's the Best State to Live In? (Split from ItNT)

Face, for you I would think North Carolina would be perfect. Mountains, water, not too hot,not too cold, doesn't snow much, has big city amenities near Charlotte but still has areas to get away from everything.

Probably Appalachia south of the Mason-Dixon, huh?

High humidity in those states too. Even
W Virginia is very humid, you wanna die
in the summer. MI only gets half the snow
you get, you live way too close to that
snow machine Great Lake. I only had to
shovel once all of last winter.

Minorities!!!!!!

God forbid EB has to be near a brown person!

LMAO

Not sure what he has against old people either, since he is one. His neighbors probably wish he would move to Florida and get off their roads and let people who can remember to turn off the turn signal drive safely.

Anyway, plenty of people visit Florida to goof off, vacation, drink, have a good time. And sometimes they get in trouble.

Wisconsin, they just drink in silent misery because of where they are.

Michigan. har. all the same to me.

Switching topics, wtf is your deal, petro? You can't find a happy middle?

I've been on tour for about 45 years, happiness has always been the goal.

My wife loves it here and loves our place, and I love her, "Happy woman, happy life", or something like that. There is plenty to do here, the Parker 400 is coming up again and 8 months of stellar weather. Right now you can pick a day for a barbecue between Oct. and March, and chances are we can fire up the pool heater and enjoy the day outside. This is a destination for my frozen friends, and I can go North and use their boats.

Besides that, the lure of easy money got me sucked into being a dice player, and I love checking out indian ruins, smoking a fatty and interpreting petroglyphs. Come on down, the weathers fine, [starting in another month], until late May. A couple tanks of fuel here, you can be in all four seasons in a days driving. Elevation is everything.

What are you going to do my friend,,,,,cut grass? We are hunter gatherers man, not farmers. Find your inner wanderlust. Move that kid onto a blue water vessel and ditch the 9 to 5.

What's a GREAT state to live in?

It depends on the person.

I like Nevada. I'd like it more if they could outlaw summer.

This is just one of the great things to do in Feb. At the end in the group photo, I'm the guy 2 left of the burning man effigy on top in the brown shirt and hat.

The desert has a lot of beautiful things to do, for most of the year.

I like Nevada. .

NV sucks, it's in the top 10 worst
states video I posted. It's like living
in a pizza oven 8 months of the year.
It has butt ugly scenery, high crime,
high homeless population, the
only reason to live there is the casinos.

People tend to find what they are looking for. If you want to find ugly, it is surely there.

However, the desert southwest: https://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/amsw/sitelist.htm

Face, time to split this off maybe?

What's a GREAT state to live in?

I (actually) love NY. It is simply gorgeous where I live, here in the canyons and the valleys. You've seen pics; I got it good. I love the ecology, the geology, the smell of the air, the stink of the lake, it has everything I need. Only thing, Standard time and that whole Nov - Feb thing is going to wear me down to the point of suicide eventually. Even if I stopped working outside, got another cushy desk job, exercise, took a vacay, none of it matters. Come February it's a fight to live. And we haven't even got to Dear Leader, the taxes, and all the other garbage.

Such a shame beautiful NY has some issues. The government is awful, the growing season is a little short-if it could be one zone south!-and it has to share the state with everything south of the Tappan Zee Bridge.

Rochester remains my favorite adopted home town. Just that the economy was horrible.

Wish I had traveled north of Albany more.
