Ohio is a Great Place to Live

With the destruction along the Gulf Coast and more to certainly happen due to Rita, it has made me think about how very thankful I am for living in Ohio. It makes reminds me of all the times people have said "You live in Ohio, but why?" (especially when they hear that I lived first in California and then in Washington) Here's why...

We have no hurricanes, no typhoons, no major tornadoes where we are in NE Ohio, no major earthquakes, no mudslides, no canyon fires, no lightning fires, the only flooding we have is when we lose power and the sump pump goes out, and though we have snow, it is not the kind that shuts down cities for days at a time. We are also next to part of the largest source of fresh water on the planet.

I am so glad to be living here. Ohio is beautiful and there is plenty of room. For those who have been displaced, come on up. Our doors and hearts are open!

This is all true, but you have a college with the team named "Browneyes" or is that "Buckeyes". Browneyes is funier.

I'm not an OSU fan. I probably shouldn't say that too loud, I might get smacked!

As far as NFL teams- per capita, I would imagine that there are just as many Steelers fans as Browns fans around here.

Anyplace that doesn't flood, shake, slide, or get blown away is good these days!
