More Pennsylvanians are born, live their whole lives, and die here than any other state.

Ask the truck driving associations who has the worst roads. Historically, we've been at the bottom but we've also been on a road-building boom. So now we're only what...47 out of 50 states? We have an old joke here in Pennsylvania about that. Pennsylvania has four seasons: almost winter, winter, just winter, and construction. (The most recent heat wave being in general an exception.)

Physicians for Social Responsibility claim that Pennsylvania alone emits 1% of the world's greenhouse gasses. I wonder if that's probably just from the Lebanon bologna processing plants in our county? (To the rest of you that would be 'summer sausage' I guess). So yes, we are the cause of all the worlds problems and yes we are full of it here (as if you hadn't guessed - baloney that is). So don't feel any guilt over heaping blame for anything and everything in this direction.

Anyway if I ever don't check in for a while you will know what happened. I probably go fragged by an eco-terrorist. (But truthfully we have had two strings of car-bombings here in the last decade and I've witnessed at least two I've seen deliberately blown up. Lately criminals who don't want to be sentenced a given day have been calling in bomb threats to the courthouse to get out of going for a few more days. What some people won't do...or write :hat ).
