I'm trying to move away....I'm sick of getting shot at.

move here to Ghettoden, I mean Meriden, CT.

Personally I don't see how any city in Nebraska can be on that list, but who knows.

We'd love to have you here in IA, there's a few nice houses for sale in the hood, we can drink beers, ride quads and do wholeshots with the Jr Dragsters in the streets. It's mayhem!

Honestly, I think this summer and fall my wife and I will be taking a few trips so she can see the rest of the country and prospects for moves. I see that Iowa DPS is hiring....maybe I'll put that bug in the Mrs. head.

That would be the shizzle. You are welcome at our house anytime, you know this my man. The kids love it when people come to visit.

Something has gotta be wrong with that list. Jersey City got an A+, and NYC got a D-.......WTF?? :confused: They're right across the river from each other. I've been to Jersey City; No friggin' way I'd be giving it an "A" anything. Shit, I've been livin' in paradise and I didn't even realize it. :eek:

I see there are a few Texas towns in the top 4 happiest cities. Texas has some great ridin' weather if you can stand the heat in the Summer. Most of the time the weather is great. Winters are not that bad. Spring can get interesting with rain and tornado season. We got pounded last night with about 10 minutes of hail, but most of the time it's great here. A friend of mine got pounded about 2 yrs ago riding home from work in a hail storm because he didn't have a place to stop and shelter his bike. It looked like someone beat the crap out of his arms. He got a little damage on his bike and helmet but wasn't that bad.
