BobArrgh lives in Kansas … and please, no stupid Oz jokes. In fact, let’s not have any clever Oz jokes. (And by the way, Toto is fine, thanks for asking.) ---

> [@pravnik](#): > > You don’t think? I always liked New Mexico. Neat little towns, wildlife, mountains, snow skiing…then again, I do live in Texas. Eh, the wilderness is great, but it’s a bit dry and UV heavy for my comfort, and I grew up in the most densely populated state of the union. When you go from “center city Philadelphia twenty minutes away, Manhattan about two hours, and DC about two and a half hours” to “Er, well, Albuquerque is an hour away and Denver is six hours away”, it’s kind of…dull. ---

> [@notfrommensa](#): > > And rivers that catch on fire! That was a loooooong time ago, and the Cuyahoga River is doing much better now, thanks. **panache45** , yes, Cedar Point is definitely something to brag about. Lots of great rollercoasters and rides. **Sir T-Cups** , I’m still missing from your roster under “Ohio.” ---
