WELL STATED, AND THE REASON I CLAIM THREE STATES AS HOME. ILLINOIS, TEXAS AND FLORIDA.I gotta chip in here and say that is one of the best reasons I can think of for winter! Seriously, I have come to understand in my travels about this great land that while winter may be a bitch for obvious reasons, one thing it does do very well is KILL BUGS. Every time I get sick & tired of cold & snow, I force myself to remember the bugs down south, and it's not so bad....
Let me also quickly say, before you southern guys start jumping my butt, I know it is a matter of preferences & acclimatization---Your trees and growth down south are very nice, but I feel claustrophobic if I can't see the horizon 20 or 50 miles away....Your thick, caressing, oxygen-laden atmosphere sure makes my motor run good, but if you've ever seen the stars on a moonless winter night in the middle of Wyoming you'll be a changed man....Absolutely nothing can compare to the sun rising over the New Mexico desert, and then going from a 35* night to a 90* day in just a few hours....The unending empty vastness of western Utah is humbling to an extreme....The full moon shining so bright over the Colorado Rocky Mountains you can turn off the headlights at midnite and cruise.....
I piss & moan about winter as much as anybody, but I still choose to live here: I need it, my soul needs it, for there is no spring & summer if there is no autumn & winter.
Besides, I hate bugs.:laughing:
