    Unless you are here by choice. I went to try to live in Ohio once, and couldn't wait to get back home. My experience was not favorable in the area I was in , and I felt like I trapped my family there .
    Mi was thankful to get out and move home. (Michigan)

    I understand that. Afterall, Ohio is Cleveland Indian for "What's that smell?"

    When I moved to TN I swore I would be berried there and thinking about actually moving from a state that I absolutely love back to a state that well, needs a lot of work politically and did you know it gets cold there? lol

    I do TG dinner early every year so I can see friends and family that would otherwise be doing their own thing. It's my fifth year hosting, and it turned out great. I roast one bird, and deep fry 2 others. 18lbs of potatoes. 10 boxes of stuffing, 2 full chaffing dishes of green bean casserole, and crock of enhanced baked beans. That was all my doing. My wife baked 30 loafs of pumpkin bread, a pumpkin pie, apple pie, and we had a pan of "death by chocolate" ( contains brownie crumbles, pudding. , whip cream and chocolate chips . And to top it off we have a flowing chocolate fountain.
    With a Lions win, it made the day perfect. Except the blast of snow we got. Next year I think I'll do it in August.

    After sitting at home for nearly a week, it's back to the grindstone. Just in time too. Big winter blast hitting near home as I travel south. Then reload for farther south.

    Now that it has been a week since selection results, we are seeing all the blowback from props that passed or didn't. And being told why it is so terrible that X passed or Y was elected.
    And just because our current resident President endorses Net Neutrality, the knee jerk reaction is to oppose it if you are in the other party. (I am in neither, I vote libitarian so I retain ######## rights, but never win, so I'm not responsible either ) this explains Net Neutrality in a nutshell . Note: I'm not advertising or endorsing this page, I just thought it a good example.

    On my way to Houston tomorrow. I hope that stuff stays north as well. 3ft of snow in Marquette Michigan in 36 hrs.
