As a Californian, the best thing I can say for Ohio is that I'd rather live in Ohio than Oklahoma

Hey, Toledo is not a suburb of Detroit!

Of course, Toledo was nearly part of Michigan: the two states fought a war over it, and Ohio lost

(Toledo was awarded to Ohio, but Michigan was given the entire UP, replete with its copper mines, in return). The greatest thing about Toledo is that it has a better zoo, better symphony, and better art museum than Detroit--and all without the crime rate!

And Geo, though I may live in Michigan, I'm an Ohioan at heart (not to mention still legally until July--had to file both MI and OH taxes this year.

You crazy Ohionians, I see you and your cars on my highways going to our lakes and our forests because you don't have any left. Well, at least not much.

Is it possible to give an hourly update? There was a web site that would show second by second progress of aircraft. It would show a plane flying over a map and give airspeed and ETA. It was a nice graphic. I would love to follow the UPS van progress from NY to Ohio. Ohio BTW is Japanese for hello. Thank for all your help Geoschmo.

I believe it's Ohayo, and stands for Good Morning.

I meant no disrespect. I lived in Japan off an on for Five years. Hello sounded like "ohio" and orange juice sounded like cow-do pissu donk. It's like they had a diffrent word for everything.

Interesting, my snide remarks about Ohio has obviously triggered some deep-felt feelings amongst all you North Americans.

The general consensus again appears to be that it is not a particularily nice place to live, but that a fair chunk of you obviously have an affinity with the place.

There also appears to be quite pronounced bigotry dependant on whereabouts you live in the state.

Interesting, the base conclusion has to be to move out to California, the weather is better and the young ladies are all "enhanced"
