Thanks, fw. We're trying to get the big trips out of the way now. This trip has been on our bucket list for years. It's taken this long to work up the courage for the long flight. Still NOTHING I'm looking forward to.. lol

Missed Nebraska, South Dakota, Georgia, South Carolina, Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, and Vermont.

Lived in MN, IL, WI, FL, UT, AZ, NV and CA.

Went to colleges/universities in NV, UT, CO, MN and CA.

Train trip from Minneapolis to New Orleans and back and another from Minneapolis to San Francisco via Seattle checked off a lot of states.

Flew into Raleigh, NC to interview with the law library people at North Carolina Central U., in late 1994. Primarily an African American university. Nice people for the most part there. They are on my Facebook a lot of late. They paid to fly me there and put me up in a very nice hotel suite for a night.

Met a law professor at NCCU who had been a victim of crime and he was very interested in my 224 613 Project such as it was in December of 1994. I was not using those two numbers back in 1994 all that much though.
The only states I'm missing are NOTHING but both Carolinas, Vermont, West Virginia, Delaware and New Hampshire.

But I have been to Guam and Puerto Rico.. lol

We also did our big trips early on and I am glad we did.

We are missing pretty much all of the western and midwest states except for Alaska, Arizona and New Mexico. Our friends just booked a tour of South Dakota and we were going to go with them but the tour NOTHING but sold out.

Interstate 70 - Wikipedia

I think I saw almost NOTHING of West Virginia. Just the part on I-70. Would have been when we were on our way to Gettysburg where we then went to Cape Cod, MA from the Chicago area.

I may have to add West Virginia to states unseen as I am not sure of the route we took to Gettysburg. That would make 41 states seen so far with 9 to go.

I got my foot into Maryland when visiting Burke, VA in 2015 for a week or so and seeing much of the DC area.

I miss snow as I have not seen any since 1994. The Ice show in Orlando would count for NOTHING. Gaylord Palms Christmas Events & Activites - Orlando Holiday Events

We just went for a Long Long Long trip. NOTHING but the new area of LINDEN. It is a whole lot nicer than the LINDEN I used to pass thru on my way to and from work. Those people who bought down there deserve a lot of credit and they will make a bundle when it comes time to go to the next house. It is absolutely Beautiful down that way. Are we lucky or what. The inconvenience of being pioneers will pay off for them.

I was happy to see several water trucks the size that they use in a Quarry to try and keep the dust down a bit!

I don't miss Snow in any Way Shape Or Form. Could you imagine driving a Golf Cart in the snow? OK I'm over that thought already.

I could not agree more with both of you Sweet Nothings!

I don't think I've seen one Natural Blonde since we moved to these here parts. You're a great guy for the things you do for your family. Good things will come your way when you don't try and make it happen.

Many people have Breakdowns of sorts, some while they are posting. I don't think anyone does or should hold that time against you. They have no right to do so. The main thing is you have to not hold the past against yourself, it just keeps you NOTHING but trapped. Take a look at the past in the rearview mirror for a second then look forward. Living in the rearview mirror is not good for anyone. Hope things work out for you Tal!
NOTHING but the best post I've ever seen on all of TOTV.

Have no idea if these are natural blondes or not as I NOTHING but never got far enough to really check that out. I would have to see some pictures from when they were kids but actually had curly blondish hair when very young so that may not work either.

What do you get when you turn a blonde upside down? NOTHING but a brunette...

I went out with a Chinese-American woman while in Denver just as friends. We saw Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. She was scared as she would often grab my hand whenever a frightening part came up and not for NOTHING. Had a lot of ladies to chose from while getting a MA in librarianship as most of the fellow students were females in almost every shape and size and ethnic identity.

I have seen blonde Asian-American ladies too.

I do hope that this Chinese-American lady who has lived in the Los Angeles area for the past 30 years or so has noticed stuff going on.

We hung out a bit when she lived in Northern California for a while when I worked at Information Access Company in Belmont, CA. Just as friends again.

She was a nice friend to have back in the 1980s. She is a librarian in the Los Angeles area. I had told her some of my stories about Reno and the like.

Brrrrr - Baby it's been nothing but cold outside on these early mornings. I mistakenly thought that Florida would be hot/warm all year long and brutally hot during July and August. Really surprised at how cool it can get. Someone said it's because our blood thins to acclimate to the hot weather which is why we feel the cold more. DH constantly says "it's not cold, it's Florida!" Fireplace on at night, swimming in the pool mid-day.
