I ain't living in any state where the sale of sex toys is illegal.
So no Texas, Alabama, Mississippi or Georgia for me.
South Carolina may soon join the list.
FU
I live in one of those states... and think that law ain't enforced, if it exists... judging from the stores one sees around... In Utah, sex with an animal is illegal, unless it is performed for profit. In Minnesota it is illegal for any man to have sexual intercourse with a live fish. In Kentucky no female shall appear in a bathing suit on any highway within this state unless she be escorted by at least two officers or unless she be armed with a club. In Connorsville, Wisconsin no man shall shoot off a gun while his female partner is having a sexual orgasm. No man I've known could shoot off his gun while I was having a sexual orgasm, so it won't matter if I move to Wisconsin. I need a new gun er a....man. |

Oklahoma and Texas - too brown and have you seen the size of the spiders there???????
Alaska would be fabulous during the summer months only. I don't think I could stand a long, dark winter.

I would. Nice town. But I like daylight past 2pm in the winter and eventually I want to sleep in the summer.

Out of curiosity, would you reject (say) Edinburgh, Scotland for the same reason? - DvF Just for comparison: Juneau, Alaska (one of the southernmost large-ish cities in Alaska) is ~2.5-3 degrees further north than Edinburgh. I don't know where the two lie east-west within their time zones (which can make an appreciable difference in sunset time as well), nor what topographic influence there is on apparent sunrise-sunset times. Edinburgh's latitude falls somewhere between Wood Buffalo and Edmonton, Alberta. Juneau's latitude falls somewhere between Goteborg and Stockholm, Sweden. I think it gets dark really early in Chicago in the winter, and that's only about 42N latitude! (But the place-within-time-zone effect comes into play a bit there.) I could live far north in the summer (where I'd absolutely love the long days), but I don't know how well I'd handle the darkness in winter - I'd probably have to get myself some fancy lights. |

I don't know where the two lie east-west within their time zones (which can make an appreciable difference in sunset time as well), This tiny difference in latitude is exactly why I offered Edinburgh as a comparison. The day length between the two will be almost identical. Sunset time on the other hand is a human artifact...not that it isn't relevant if you are in a job that fixes your indoor hours. - DvF |

Probably. Not that I wouldn't think the city may be great, but I know enough about myself to know I crave sunshine. It is hard for me even when we have a long rainy spell. I haven't spent a lot of time in the northern part of the US, and it may be too dark for me there as well during the winter...
However, at this point I am desparate enough for a TT position I may take it wherever it was... :)

Not Eastern Oklahoma (and I must presume the same is true for Texas, although I haven't been there to find out). That part of the state is very, very green. Tulsa gets a lot of rain and is pretty and hilly and forested.
But the spiders DO get pretty big.
When I was a kid, my aunt had a house just outside of Tulsa. Us kids used to tramp around out in the woods, turning over rocks, until we found tarantulas hiding from the 100-degree heat.
That was mean. I would never do it now. Live and let live, even for tarantulas.
