I live in Nashville, Tennessee, close to Music Row because I am a songwriter.

I live in a small town in the Canadian Rockies, because I ended up here working for a mine. As it turns out, the chronic winter bronchitis my wife had on the West Coast was greatly reduced by four and a half mountain ranges of humidity and 4,000 feet of altitiude. The winters are not to my liking, but I can tolerate them. What I really miss is music. In this town I jokingly say that classic music is Johnny Cash, and it is unfortunately true. I have to make do with this superb forum and FaceBook and PipeDreams. It's not the same as having anyone else around who understands the "organ nut", but I'm here.

My father lived on the West Coast and was a commercial fisherman, well acquainted with cold and wet. He was born Friday, January 13, 1905 and died Tuesday, October 9, 2007. Think how long your uncle would have lived if he had stayed in Canada!

I ended up in Tucson Arizona only because it had the best opportunities for work in the early 80's when the job marked tanked in Washington state. I don't really care for the southwestern desert, mainly because there is too much stupid sunshine and the intense frying pan heat in the summers.
But, I guess I'm here to stay - we have a wonderful home in a great neighborhood, steady income from pensions and my church work, friends and family. If I had my druthers, I would move to the mountains, where the scenery is always green and forest like.
The winters in the desert aren't so bad though ... average only 21 days where we get to a hard freeze overnight.

The State of Constant Confusion was formed approx 1616 just after the second collapse of the indigenous tribe which went by the name of the Fukawee you will be aware of their history and their inherited Lost gene which was responsible for their demise and hence the name Fukawee.
The main geological feature is Mount Drooling which has many tributaries called Dribbles that feed into the river Self Doubt which eventually finishes in Lake Bewilderment.
The national sport is lawn mowing and before each event the team form a circle with arms entwined and dance five steps left and four steps right repeatedly while looking at the ground chanting were the Fukawee, were the Fukawee and salivating quite profusely.
It is not a recommended holiday destination for the squeamish.

Was one of their other chants
Ah Wah Tan Ah Siam ????????
Ah Wah Tan Ah Siam ????????
None of them could carry a tune in a bushel basket ... the chants were a cross between a goat in heat and the south end of a northbound mule.
