Where should you live? Strangely, Tucson was #1 on the list (I hate Tucson), but Phoenix was on there as well, along with Nashville; Lexington, Kentucky (some of my family came from around there oddly enough); Amarillo, Texas (family there, too); Richmond, Virginia; Bellingham, Washington; Greenville, South Carolina (some family came from there); St. George, Utah; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Orlando, Florida; El Paso, Texas (ugh! no!); and several other places in the southeast. Why so much southeast I wonder? I told the quiz I hate humidity. :P
