We loved going to Galveston when we lived in Texas. Romantic strolls along the beach. I miss that.

Spraying our feet with WD40 to get the oil off before we got back in the car was a small price to pay.

You did better than me. I was almost a daytime hermit from May to August. Just getting back in your parked car is the worst.

You mean the fact that they only have to drive one state over to be Rocky Mountain High in COL? I agree.

Interesting to see Arizona the same shade as Illinois. I think a fair amount of those wanting to move from Illinois would say they'd like to move to Arizona.

I can't say for sure, but I doubt I'd want to move from Hawaii, either.

How bad is your state when people there want to move from it more than people that live in North Dakota want to move from there?

I'm surprised (on the property tax map) WI is almost the same as IL.
