Our 10 game losing streak ties us with Idaho and Minnesota for worse in the nation. We can take positives out of this, the most important being that we don't have to live in Idaho or Minnesota.

I just settled a case in Idaho, primarily because nobody wanted to go there.

Did the case include potato growing rights?
Oh, and I saw the documentary "Thin Blue Line" the other day with a almost direct quote in it saying, "if there was a hell on earth, it is Dallas, Texas". Agree to disagree

Had lunch with a buddy of mine that had just gotten back from a business trip in Idaho. He works for a private wealth management company, so I was really shocked that he had to go there for work. I would have asked more details, but I was just shocked to hear for the first time that someone actually had a business trip to Idaho!

Actually it was, "If there was ever a hell on earth, it's Dallas County."

Love it or hate it, either way, you don't want to be accused of a Crime in Dallas County. (though it is now better than it was). I'm just glad that I retired with a 1-1 record there

Why no love for Idaho on ponyfans.com?
"Idaho, however, with 26.65 millionaires per 1,000 population, has the highest per capita ratio of any state, largely because of the soaring price of land on its many large farms. Maine, a longtime retreat of the rich, is second with 7.72 millionaires per 1,000, while North Dakota, with its sprawling farms and ranches, is third with 6.9. The states with the lowest concentrations of seven-figure citizens: Arkansas, with .34 millionaires per 1,000, and Wyoming, where the ratio is just .19. Nonetheless, to reverse Scott Fitzgerald's famous dictum, just about everywhere the rich are becoming less and less distinguishable from everyone else."

Of course people in Idaho are rich. What the heck can you spend your money on there?

It's easy to escapte to Texas if you live in those states. Plus, all the millionaires that live in Arkansas live in Bentonville. I dunno. Why aren't people in Oklahoma or Arkansas rich ?

Although I have not had the opportunity to spend some time there, I understand that if you are into outdoor activities (backpacking, climbing, fishing,etc) Idaho has a lot to offer. It is on my list of places to adventure in.

Or you always wanted to live in a State that looks like a Pot-Still.
