That makes sense, then. I'm not enamored of large stretches of country either.
Love to visit but prefer living near a city. I'm aware Iceland and Sweden are
modern places, just the cold would do me in after a while.

Keith, I drove through the state once, when a couple of college friends and I
got a serious dose of wanderlust during summer break. I've always been an urban
kinda guy, and that place, save for a couple of places, was anything but.
Beautiful country. My aunt moved there for the same reasons (ser
Well, I'm a great indoorsman and proud of it! Pass the popcorn!!!

I know Iceland and Sweden are beautiful, with clean, modern cities, quaint old
towns, beautiful nature. I hear the people in both countries are hale and happy
and have high standards of living. Love to visit them.

Keith, I know what you're saying about your body being configured more for the
heat than the cold. I have a friend in Virginia who's the same way, and she's
miserable now that the weather's gone cold. Also can't fathom why I've perked
up during the same interval. I'm a cold-weather beast. If I a
no, I loved it in Chi-town during the year I lived there. I spent a lot of time
outdoors even when it was below zero. Snowball fights, cross country walks,
movie nights with friends. I get that there's lots to do. I just still prefer
being able to go outside without having to put a spacesuit on.
Then you haven't spent ENOUGH time in Chicago...You'd know how we compensate
for the lack of temperature and certain outdoor activities...We have a lot of
fun stuff to do when the snow falls...When it gets too nippy, the fun simply
goes indoors...I can tell that it must be awfully boring when th

When you grow up with summertime highs of 110 regularly, the blood
That'll work, too. I love cold weather.
