The State You're In

People have been talking about the Gallup poll that lists the happiest states in the U.S.

Here's the top six:

1.  Hawaii
2.  Alaska
3.  South Dakota
4.  Maine
5.  Colorado
6.  Vermont

Here's the bottom six:

45.  Ohio
46.  Arkansas
47.  Indiana
48.  Oklahoma
49.  Kentucky
50.  West Virginia

I suppose you could come up with reasons for these rankings.  You know--Hawaii is nice and warm, Alaska has wide open spaces, South Dakota is glad it's not North Dakota and so on.

But I wouldn't read too much into this list.  Actually, I wouldn't read anything into this list.
