<p>In general, Southerners have come up with many ways to beat the heat!!!</p>

<p>I love driving with the windows down too, especially on a beautiful day in the middle of nowhere. I HATE suburbia (thankfully I don't live around it).</p>

<p>But anyway. Yeah, I can carry a tune in a bucket. :) And on a piano, and a guitar, and a banjo, and a dulcimer...</p>

the surburbs are awesome.... you wake up early in the morning, you go outside, grab the newspaper, all you see, some people are rushing to work, children playing in the streets, people working in their gardens, some people are out for a stroll, while others are running.....many childrens running merily to their bus stop.......you take a breather......the air feels so cool and fresh.....you can smell the fresh smell of grass.....look at the sky, you see sun shining so brightly......i love the suburbs</p>

<p>I agree. Suburbs are much more nicer to live in.</p>

24

<p>i can see good and bad things about living anywhere</p>

25

<p>Funny how this conversation turned.</p>

<p>Thread drift is awesome.</p>

<p>BM1, I guess it's what you get used to. Here, I wake up, go outside, see nothing but beautiful fields and forests and the neighbor house in the distance... cows and barns. The air smells perfect (though people who come to visit say it smells like manure!), all is quiet except for nature sounds.</p>

<p>Yup, I'm going to have trouble going to college. Oh well!</p>

<p>FYIBTW, our farm was featured in the local paper yesterday. For a visual representation of what I described above:</p>

<p>A place that actually has mountains and not just manure processing plants (like in the NW of Ohio) and beautiful surroundings...
What type of farmer are you? Dairy, wheat, oats?</p>

28

<p>Dairy (~120 milked, ~250 total)
Tobacco (~20 acres, used to be about 35 but the gov't cut subsidies, so now we grow about 15 acres of squash</p>

<p>We grow corn too, but just for sileage (and an acre or two to eat! yum)...and grasses, but, again, for the cows.</p>
