Funny, I have the same fear of the Mason Dixon line.... from the other side!

I didn't know that Mason and Dixon's line ran all the way to the West Coast! Where does it meet the Pacific?

I should state that my "fear" of the Mason-Dixon line is purely weather related (my Confederate great-grandpas are rolling in their graves).

I just seriously hate cold weather and snow. I know it can be beautiful. And, if you could guarantee cold, clear and crisp...well, maybe...

But give me 104 and an air conditioner any day of the week (or year...)

Latest news item on MSNBC:

Prosecutors say Earnest James Ujaama, 36, who was born James Earnest Thompson, conspired to create an al-Qaida boot camp in rural Oregon. Ujaama also helped al-Qaida with computer training and Internet propaganda, according to the 9-page indictment released late Wednesday.

Ujaama is a well-known Seattle activist who was arrested by the FBI last month and was held as a material witness until charges could be filed. In addition to operating the StopAmerica.org site, which quotes Ujaama as accusing the United States of "conspiracy to commit genocide and crimes of terrorism against Muslim people," the government says he designed a site called the Supporters of Shariah.

Where's your sense of adventure? Heading off into the great white north!

I'm clearly outnumbered here (What with LCS playing bi-locational), but I will not yield.

I just don't do cold and snow if I can avoid it. Give me sun, sand and the ocean.

Honestly, if my Rose gets a vote, she'd vote for warm weather too. San Antonio girl that she is, she just doesn't like real winter weather.

I haven't been able to get her up to Northern Michigan for clear January weather yet... every time we've been up there in winter it's been overcast and snowy....

Also lives where the land doesn't rise more than 100 feet above sea level. and loathes places that might have snow (like mountains do). I am suspect!

I can understand why the elves like the cold, frozen wastes. Brings back memories of that little incident of fratricide way back when. Keeps them feeling all warm and cozy inside. ;^)

At 6'3", that will be rather obvious when we meet in person...

You must remember that my dwarven name was bestowed upon me when I was fleeing religious persecution. "Corin Stormhands" was the coolest name from the Middle-Earth Name Generator.

So, in the spirit of the witness protection program, I have been living in the Hobbit Hole as a trusty dwarf. I once thought of revealing myself as a true wizard, but thought that would sound pretentious.

I am, in truth, just Ward Smythe, a simple scribe...

Why do I feel like Dustin Hoffman playing the final scene in "Tootsie"...

You actually came out as a wizard in the Name Generator? I'm a furry-footed elf (Vanyar), which may be why I can't quite bring myself to bash 'em.

But my elvish name (Thauravariel) is a bit too ponderous...and I'd rather be Rosie anyway!

What? You didn't see Disney's Pocahontas? We have waterfalls that are some 500 feet high (not that anyone around here has ever seen them...)

But I'm not originally from Richmond. Here's a little pic from "home."
