<p>emeraldkity, I chose ‘flatlander’ because I grew up in Vermont</p>
<p>I admit I am disappointed- there are so many of us on CC from the coasts- I was hoping you were from Oklahoma or West Texas ;)</p>
<p>To illustrate- I am one of those people who’ll say " I don’t like country --but, I adore musicians like [Jimmy</a> LaFave](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y70AV9t9e8M]Jimmy”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y70AV9t9e8M) and Butch Hancock"</p>
<p>Maybe because I grew up within sight of Mt Rainier and the Olympics as well as the Cascade ranges- I expect mountains to have snow on them year round ;)</p>
<p>I do also admit that I love putting stuff out on my parking strip marked “free” and watching people haul it away for me.</p>
<p>I even got to my husband, he had accepted a compressor from the neighbor that didn’t even work, and after 6 months of tripping over it in the garage, put it on the parking strip.
It was gone in one day!</p>
