LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!

Where you choose to live is pretty much a sort of intelligence test.  Oh sure, hometowns, families, and economic circumstances can often suck you in and spit you out. But in the end, it really is just one of those super important decisions we get to make over the course of our lives. “Should I stay or should I go?”

I rode my bicycle twice across the United States and drove tractor trailers far and wide as a long-haul mover, plus I have always liked to travel. So, I’ve been to every state and explored a lot of ground, meeted and greeted, and got the lay of this land that’s yours and mine. And here’s what I think. Living in climate and cultural wastelands like the Dakotas or almost anywhere in the Midwest and Texas, is pretty dumb. They are, for the most part, rural ghettos.

Which leaves the mystery of funny, sunny Florida.  If it’s smart to move to the Sunshine State in order to avoid the cold of winter, then why do so many stupid people live there?
