Grand Ledge, Michigan, near Lansing, the state capitol. Using the handy-dandy map of Michigan that Milorossian mentioned, I’m right about in the middle of your right palm. Hmmm. I wonder why my life line is so sho ---

I’m in Nassau, Delaware, which exists to be a postal code. Nearby, more recognizable cities are Lewes and Rehoboth Beach. Usually I tell people I live in Lewes because I’m technically within the town limits, I just have a Nassau address. However, in a few weeks I’m going to be in Hanover, New Hampshire. Dartmouth will never be the same. 🙂 ---

Kinda irritating when I stop to consider that some 18 year old twit has a car which probably cost 5 times what I bought my car for, and they didn’t even have to work for it. Plano’s not my cup of tea, really. I want to move into Dallas proper before too long(village area, maybe). ---

The beautiful Lehigh Valley, PA. Actually, the valley covers a pretty large section of land. My address is Macungie, PA., but Macungie is in Lehigh County and I live in Berks County. Something about the rural post deliveries. Anyway, it’s only an hour and change from Philadelphia and two hours into Manhattan, NYC but its still bucolic bliss. Plus I’m only an hour from Pottsville, PA., home of Yuengling Brewery, Americas oldest brewery, who makes an excellent black and tan brew that is a local favorite. Cheers. Hey etgaw1, come up and visit and i’m buy you a back and tan.
