    That's about right for us. We have some issues, primarily coal fired power plants and raw sewage overflow into rivers. The good news is work is underway to remedy both.

    Most of your states are about the same size as my country ( Scotland ) . Unfortunately, we kind of suffer from all of the above .

    And Utah was the most porn usage. How's that a negative? I mean, shame on them.

    Boston cab drivers trump any problem any state has hands down. They got that part spot on.

    I wish the air pollution were the greatest shame here.

    Also, I can spot a couple that could go for most of our states.

    Couldn't quite see how we tied with Hawaii with cost living. That can vary so much but ca has some dirt cheap places. I've never seen anything cheap in Hawaii.

    Delaware- most abortions per population? I'd have though it would be most pumpkins shot from a catapult.

    And here I thought the most screwed up thing about Ohio was that it was stuck next to Indiana.......

    Indiana being environmentally unfriendly..... That makes sense. I mean, the hong cannot be good for anything, much less the environment......

    One of the best things about Alabama is it's biological diversity. One of the worst things is it's........well, it's biological diversity. I can think of a whole lot of superlatives about Alabama, but I have to live here. I will say that there are no worse drivers anywhere in the country than in Selma, Alabama, and most of the people who live here will agree with me on that. Louisville, Kentucky seemed very close though when I visited and there's lot's more of it there, too. The meanest drivers I've ever run into (or, who tried hard to run into me) (and my friend who lives right across the line in Missouri heartily agrees) is in Arkansas.
    True enough, my final home is still out there, but this is most certainly my home range and I love it. I love every rock I fall off and tree I trip over. Even when I am close to dying from exhaustion, a beautiful sunset doesn't lose it's power to refresh and inspire me and that, in itself, is enough to save me sometimes.
