I'm with you Joset. I'm in Iowa and know it's not quite like ND in the winter, but I do hate the hot, humid weather we usually have in summer. I don't mind the winters--never have. I like Michigan. I lilke CA, but as much time I have spent there, I don't believe I'd like it as a permanent location. As you can see, I'm Iowa born and bred, have lived here all my life and will be here to the end---whenever that happens.
