Word around town is that you'll need to bring some DDT and an automatic rifle to fend of the skeeters.
I was there last week - never saw a skeeter.

Can we count Puerto Rico? A special exemption because of their excellent coffee?

Before my senior year in high school, my count of states visited was three: Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West By God Virginia

Since then, I've managed to wander around a fair bit; now it's easier to list the ones missing:

Hawaii, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Arkansas, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Maine

You have to go to Hawaii. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back. Shoot, I might even look for a job there and buy a shack on the beach.

You know what I remember most about Missouri? Going up the arch, meeting Max the trainer at the base, and then watching the Final Four. ('78). Know what I remember most about Kansas? It was fugging flat.

Sigh. I miss Max. He was one in a million!
