FYI - I have friends and family all over the US....in various climates, so I am just curious.........
I admit I find it somewhat offensive that people assume that those of us living in the midwest and colder regions must be so unhappy because the weather here must be so awful....
So here is my question - do we automatically assume that because of the climate someone is living in that they are happier or live a better life??
I know these are all stereotypes, but this does perplex me. I get comments tossed at me often from people living in warm climates that the weather is this or that and its just sooooo perfect implying that where I live is unbearable......it drives me a little nutty.
I find it beautiful to wake up in the morning to fresh snow and a hot cup of coffee and I find it wonderful to wake up to the sound of thunderstorms and refreshing to wake up and the birds are chirping because its going to be beautiful.
Any comments??? thoughts?? I lived in CA for a year and people were so rude - when I told them I was from NE - they thought I had lived on a funny farm and how could anyone live there??? I just laughed and took a big chug of my beer
