This week's poll comes from Farmdog: How far do you live from the place of your birth?

Right at 210 miles from my birthplace, but was raised right where I now live....... on the same piece of land actually.........bought it from family.

I'm about 22 miles from where the hospital I was born at is, but where I live now, is where we moved when I was about 5 or 6 years old. So I have spent most of my life here in McHenry. Gerald, I kinda feel the same way. The wife and I have thought about doing a Nick, and moving somewhere south (North Texas, like Dallas area) where we wouldn't have to deal with winters, but she likes having seasons. But we do still enjoy the midwest.

I thought I liked and missed the seasons too when I moved back to NY from Louisiana in 2005. It took me 1 winter to realize that I didnt actually miss the seasons. Winter sucks ass, especially up there. The second winter just reinforced my theory that I no longer missed the seasons and I wanted to get the flock outta there. I missed summers that lasted longer than 3 months. Evidently my blood got thin and I never could quite get used to the cold, even know I grew up in it. Back then, I didnt know anything different though. 85 degrees here today and the smell of summer is here. I absolutely love it.

Still on the farm.

 

[trouttrooper]

1492 miles according to Google map. Lost my midwest accent looong ago...ya knoow The farm that dad grew up on (uncle Nick's.....no, not that Nick) is now part of an on/off ramp system for the interstate. Nothing left, all buildings are gone.

I like having the different seasons. Only gripe I have is the short days when there's not enough daylight to get anything done.....I know, you Alaska guys are even worse when it comes to that but I can still complain about it.
