When you fly, it doesn't really matter *where* you live...



I don't know about that. I suppose you can get away for weekend
trips, but even then you'll be pressed for time the whole weekend.
Living in western CO, I was able to access 12k ft mtns within an hour
for skiing or hiking (depending on the year). Now I live in south FL,
and frequently eat my lunch at the beach and ride waves after work.
Some things you have to live close by to do. Someday I'll live in San
Diego so I can do it all.

I've been through Iowa (and other flat, land locked mid-west states) a
few times, and I couldn't live there even if I had a SR-71 sitting in
the backyard. Others enjoy the low cost of living and stronger
families or whatever, so they probably wouldn't enjoy places I like.

Also, if you aren't interested in cooking you won't understand "Food
TV" (food channel). I happen to enjoy cooking and its unique mix of
science and artistry, so I enjoy watching a couple of the programs
there. Just as I enjoy watching Discovery Wings and Speed TV (when
they're not showing Nascrap anyway.).
