Why was a 6 year old filled with leaves?
No, the 6 year old wasn’t filled with leaves, it was a trampoline filled with leaves, with a 6 year old on it.

Yeah, as cool as that would be, it didn’t happen. No, instead I came home covered in leaves!

I hope you are getting closer to getting it sold and the ordeal behind you.

If I remember correctly, Louisiana also has the highest political corruption and Illinois (the state I live in) comes in second for political corruption.

Offline I can’t come up with anything about my county but if we take Europe, Ireland has the highest rate of cystic fibrosis, is the fifth most expensive country to live in and is the worst country in the world for breast-feeding.
However we do have the fewest divorces and according to Forbes magazine, Ireland is the best country to do business in….so there’s that.

And my state has really terrible drivers that somehow graduated college.. That’s how it works, right?
Another thing I learned: my brother now knows 5 music artists! (earlier it was only 3)

I’ve lived in four states.
New York (Worst Daily Commute) – I have to imagine that is due to the traffic in New York City. I lived Upstate and my commute was incredibly easy.
Arizona (Worst Alcoholism) – There are many Native American reservations in this state. Sadly, alcoholism is all too prevalent in each one. Add to that the fact that tourism is a major industry here and there are bars everywhere – in some places one at each point of an intersection. Arizona State University is traditionally ranked among the Top 50 “party schols” in the country.
Maine (Dumbest State) – Treading lightly here. One of the biggest knocks against this state is that it is not friendly toward big businesses. There are very few corporations with a foothold in Maine because they tax businesses to death (literally) and it is cheaper for corporations to do business elsewhere. As a result, the brightest Mainers get educated and then are forced to move out-of-state to find work. Zag and I worked for the same company when we lived there. We both went as far as we could go with that company in Maine, forcing us to look for positions with the same company in a different state. We both still work for the same company, but wish it had worked out in Maine. It is a beautiful state – quite cold, though.
Pennsylvania (Most Arson) – This is surprising to me as I rarely hear about arson.

And here’s what the states are the best at:
New York (Transit Use) – Again, results have to be dominated by NYC. Between buses, subway and cabs you could live your whole life there without ever needing to own a car.
Arizona (Sunniest) – Without question. On average, it only rains about 7 days a year. Most of that occurs durning the Monsoon in July and August. We lived there for 14 years and found out you can actually get tired of sunshine.
Maine (Least Violent Crime) – It’s too cold to leave the house just to murder someone.
Pennsylvania (Most Hunters) – The first day of deer hunting season is a holiday – schools closed and all – no s**t. It begins on the Monday after the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. Technology geeks all over the country stand in long lines to be one of the first to get the latest iPhone. In Pennsylvania, hunters begin camping out on Saturday and Sunday in order to start “Elmer Fudding” (my term for it) at sunrise on Monday morning.
So now, you’ve learned a little bit about four US states. You’re welcome.

Offline I learned that Ireland and the UK both have a different name for a chocolate bar.
In Ireland we get this little bundle of deliciousness, the ‘Moro’ bar:
And in the UK, it’s called ‘Boost’:
Well, that was quite interesting, wasn’t it?

Boosts are horrible; leave a revolting aftertaste in my mouth.
