> I think it would rule to live near a large body of water. You could go swimming and boating all the time, the scenery would rule, and in addition to that, the water would tend to equalize the temperature so that the snow would be more likely to melt right away and you wouldn't have to worry about icy browny gunky stuff. It would make shoveling easier too!

That's not always true. I live about half an hour away from the Great Salt Lake (If the wind is just right you can REALLY smell it. YUCK!)and we get lots and lots of snow. Our states license plate says "The greatest snow on earth" and that is Because of the lake. It makes our snow really nice and powdery.


> It's kind of silly. We live /right next/ to the Rocky Mountains, and yet /just/ so far away from them that we can't see them! I think it would be cool to have mountains on the horizon. >

I LOVE the mountains. I live right smack in the center of the Rockies. It is absolutely fantastic. I have relatives who live in Idaho and every time we go to see them I absolutely hate it because where they live you can see clear to the horizon. That is one of the worste things I could ever describe.
