Well, as the old saying goes......"it's not the heat, it's the humidity". My personal ideal climate is West Texas...the area just west of San Antone. I'll give you Virginia as being one "really purty" state, at least outside the urban areas (did I mention that "I'm a country boy").
Oh, same here. We’re rural and wouldn’t have it any other way. I do love my Blue Ridge Mountains, and you can’t see them very well from the cities. ;)
