The weather would be one, Another would be the women . Well Florida has it's share of women so I guess that's a Ty . Well the fact that Florida is basically swampland, & LA sits on about four or five fault lines that just happen to be very active . Where as I can't remember the last time their was an earthquake in Florida . I think I'll take Wyoming !LOL

 

Somehow I still love this series... you folks will have to speed it up a bit if you're going to finish it by the end of the year, you should be up to nearly 350 by now otherwise :). Will this be a multi-year series? ;p

 

The title of this series does not stop being funny. Ever.
