Anyhow, I love Wyoming and Montana, Mr. Blitz. I have family and many friends in Cody, so I've spent a great deal of time there. And, I can attest to the fact that, in the winter months, you can literally freeze your ass completely off. There are many people who have. In fact, if you're out walking on the street or going to the mall or waiting in line for a movie and you see a guy with no ass, you can be pretty darn certain that he froze it off at some point.

I'm just not crazy about hanging out in sub-zero temperatures for no reason. It's funny, but I feel differently about it if or when I have something to do, though. Hunting, for example. Or skiing. Maybe it's because I prepare better and dress for the temperatures. Nevertheless, just living and doing normal things in frigid cold doesn't really do it for me. I much prefer a beach in southern climes.

If I had the freedom, I would spend one-third of the year in the Caribbean or somewhere similar and one-third in a mountainous region.

Its one of those things that is engrained into you. Just from my visits to the states, I've noticed different accents in the New England area, NY, Texas, Flordia. I recently went to Boston and couldn't understand a damn thing they were saying, one of the weirdest accents i've ever heard. Me and a couple of buddies went down to Florida not too long ago, and was amazed that whenever someone asked us where we were from, it always began with "y'all".

Thats great that you enjoying wyoming, it does get annoying whenever they show canada, its always a clip of it snowing or people freezing their asses off. In Toronto, this winter was nothing compared to what hit the northeast united states. Its the misnomers that are annoying. I'm sure you are used to that living in Kansas City.

Actually, I live in Nashville. Home of Little Jimmy Dickens and the Tomato Aspic sandwich.

You run into a lot of "ya'lls" here, too. At first, I thought everybody was really tired and yawning while they spoke. Turns out, they just can't count.

As for the weather, it's in the nerve centers of the beholder I guess. So, if a guy wants to live practically next door to the North Pole, that's his decision.
