    I live in Prince Rupert, a small community located on the North Coast of BC, Canada. Our small city is quite close to Alaska. I have lived in Northern BC since 1982.

    (Note to Texans - You may be the biggest state in the main U.S., but we are the biggest in the WORLD!...:p)

    Sugar Land, TX (a suburb of Houston - and yes, where the country music band Sugarland got its name from ;) ).

    No worries. Although I'm sure Western Australia is a great place, the Houston area is now the 4th largest metro area in the US. With gas prices the way they are, being smaller has its advantages. :)

    For those that don't know, we really don't have snow and ice all year. In fact we are having a very early spring this year. I had my motorcycle out the last week of March this year. I don't usually get it out until mid to end of April.

    You can help Sarah Palin deal with Putin then!

    North west England with all the other common scumbags,they have the collective IQ of a fruit fly,everyone is ugly including me which begs the question why are there so many teen parents? It rains all the time,the food is crap,no one can get a job,practically every beauty spot has been concreted over so people can't hide dead bodies in the bushes,the water from the stream that runs through the village is diluted to make bleach,we use burnt out cars for street lighting.

    Think 'Escape from LA' and your pretty close.

    We actually had a large train station and market in my village,now trains pass through no slower than 100mph just enough to keep you awake all night and the market is now a parking lot.

    The only reason the suicide rate isn't higher is because people around here are too stupid to pull it off properly,that and the excellent doctors of National health system which the government brought in to prolong the suffering.

    Please come and visit us though! :) While your wondering why you came here and looking for something to photograph we'll take your money and use your camera to film your hostage video!

    Everyone thinks they're so smart and funny too,go on these long rambles when you just asked a simple question.rolleyes

    Right now, south Florida. It's been 82 and sunny for three months straight, I hate this hell-hole. :)

    In the summer we live in the north Georgia mountains. They hate people from Florida there so I bring back my Canadian accent - very poorly, I'm sure. Actually, I pick up Canadian pretty quickly again but also the southern drawl too. After a few weeks this Canadian girl - whose parents still have an accent from the old country - has a thick southern drawl. I'm a sheeple!

    My neck of the woods has the dubious distinction of being one of the rainiest parts of Canada. The rain is pelting down at the moment. A bit of sunshine sounds divine. :)

    Like being in the Seattle of Canada. I love Canada but why are you in that area? I'm from Ontario, I might be a little biased.

    South Florida is nice to visit for a week or two. I say the same thing about snowy areas.

    Work. I went north as a young man in 1982 to work in a remote village. I was unable to find work in the greater Vancouver area. I've had a good career up here. I will retire in about 3-4 years. :)
