Anti-Fascist Variation: Put the state in all lower case if you've violated its public smoking ban, and in all caps if you've violated its sodomy laws.

Well, for some reason preview doesn't show the states I've lived in. They are:

California, Colorado, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia

Couldn't get underline to work. Lived in = ITALIC. Live in now = BOLD ITALIC

Yeah the underline doesn't work, maybe the comment spam filter thinks that the underline is a link. I italicized states where I lived and bold italicized FL where I live

Okay I'll play

Some of you folks need to get out more. I have not been to a state yet that did not have something unique and beautiful. Once you leave the work a day world and travel the people everywhere are pretty darn nice, too.

Mrs. D., do I get double credit for having lived in both northern California and the west side of LA? Practically two different countries ...

If not, maybe I can at least get a few bonus points for having worked for a real good ol' boy plugged deeply into southern politics. Now that was a broadening experience for this Pennsylvania small town girl LOL.

Sure, Ms Burk. But, as you know most states are diverse, even Delaware and Rhode Island. It is actually amazing how well travelled the readership revealed thus far is. I must admit to loving to travel around the country off interstate. It is a great way to understand how big and wonderful this country really is.

"It is actually amazing how well traveled the readership revealed thus far is."

I believe that is part of what makes WoC so appealing. There are a lot of folks here who have a widened and diverse view of the USA and many foreign countries as well. Personally if I had to choose a city to live in in the USA it would be Chicago. That's not to say that other cities in the US don't fair well. Just my personal preference. Since I don't have to choose the Shenandoah in my backyard suits me fine.

Used USMC's convention. NM is on this spring's vacation list, hard to believe we haven't been there before.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
