For those of us who live here, we don’t need to ask why.  This is one of the most diversely beautiful states.  The cost of living is relatively low.  We have all four seasons, yet the winters are generally pretty mild.  But oh, the beauty of the place.  After 20 years, the sights still take this author’s breath away.
