I think I'd love to be in Oregon's main city. Not too big, some welfare, and a climate feeling like home. Probably the least terrible area there is in the US

Of course, I'd take pretty much any spot in non-Rosbif Europe over that

I am sure the idea of religion being a part of daily life would seem strange to a Frenchman, just as a Frenchmen would probably also find the American practice of taking a shower as a part of daily life very strange as well.

What could you possibly want to do in Carlisle? In PA, we describe our state as follows, Philly in the East, Pittsburgh in the west, and Alabama in between. Carlisle is in South Central PA. Nothing but hicks and sticks there.

I'm in Pittsburgh right now, just haven't updated my location field since I changed to "In Memoriam" after the Spanish bomibngs. Isn't the Carlisle/Harrisburg area a little bit nice then the abomination that is central PA?

BTW where in PA are you now?

Well, the French right-wing took a historical beating yesterday (I never saw such a humiliation in my life, and I doubt the right-wing has suffered such a spanking ever since WW2), so I'm going to be euphorically arrogant for the coming days.

That, and the fact the French pwned the Rosbif Azzes at Rugby
