reminds me when I deployed with the Army to Korea. The weather is miserable there also all year round....

Right now I'm El Paso, Texas. The weather is hot in the summer and the winters mild. Seldom snows... maybe a dusting once a winter.....

I hate cold. I have lived in Montana, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Montana was the worst.

Maryland's not too bad because most winter storms are blocked by the Appalachian mountains to the west. Pennsylvania was horrible. Montana was terrible -not to mention boring.

Hah, your right, Pennsylvania is horrible.. when it comes to snow and cold atleast.

no offense, but I also found the people very rude and cold in general also.
Quite a difference once you get south of the mason-dixon in Maryland.

Hmm, everyone around here seems pretty nice. What part of PA did you live in?

I lived in Latrobe for 3 years and worked in Greensburg.

I was happy to leave.... El Paso has been real good for me.
Unfortunately I have to move again in a month to central Texas.

Hey - is that where that famous sauce come from?? Just kidding!!

Tim - Its funny that you live near to York, England but you have your location as Scottsdale, Ari. Are you living with your parents? Why am I asking all this......we plan to be in England early 2006 as a prize I won in a contest sponsored by ESPN in conjuction with Formula One and our local Straits Times newspapers. I specially would like to visit York as I had some fond memories of this town. It would be a great pleasure to meet up with you and yours. Please keep in touch. Regards

careful about admitting your age.... I'm sure your folks would object..... there are a lot of weirdos on the net who have nefarious deisgns on teenagers.....

like molestment.....

I wouldn't go about meeting people on the net unless they were around my own age and I was with other people.

I live in Rhode Island. Its the smallest state in the union.

ha! My current Army base (Fort Bliss - is bigger than your state!)

I did basic at Bliss in '68. I sure as hell wouldn't brag on the place! (course, El Paso is the gateway to Juarez!)

Should an opportunity arises, I would wish to meet up with your parents - as we intend to be in York in the near future. Good luck.

you wouldn't recognize it..... I have been stationed here 3 times and it has changed and grown so much , I barely recognize it.
Basic training was closed here in 1996.

The cavalry left to Ft. Carson, then just came back in 2005. Of course Air Defense is still here, but it's getting scattered. I'm being transferred to Ft. Hood at the end of the month and then to Iraq in Jan '07

I live in Brighton,on the south coast of England."London by the sea" as it`s known.

I live on Vancouver Island just outside the town of Lake Cowichan.

Heard some bad things about Ft Hood back in my day, but that's a bygone era, and I'm sure sunny Iraq has got to be the worst! Hey, man, stay alert, and find some BFRs and BFTs!!!! Keep us posted, and ALL THE BEST!

Maybe by the time you get there, you can post from a Starbuck's!

I live in Vermont, US, about 9 miles northwest of Middlebury. That is in central VT near Lake Champlain. Anyone in the neighborhood?

i've got relatives near said lakes. they just moved there from chicago, in fact. as if our winters weren't bad enough!

I met a girl whilst at Cornell in 1970 - we drove up to Stowe to spend the weekend. What a time!! You are in beautiful Vermont. Good luck
