Agreed. I wonder how all the SEC teams enjoyed their views of the game from their couches this year. At least the beer and nachos were cheaper. When I was in SC a lady asked me if I was a Yankee or a damn Yankee and I didn't understand the question. She said a Yankee was someone from the north who came to visit and a damn Yankee was one who stayed. Did not sound like the southern hospitality I heard so much about so I said trust me, madame. From what I've seen so far I am a Yankee through and through, and the only person who wants me to go back from where I came from more than you is me. That one took her a couple of seconds. Otherwise, not a bad experience. One thing I can say for certain is if you go to Charleston and leave hungry it's your own fault.

I learned that first-hand in 2011, when my home state of New Jersey got hit with mid-winter levels of snowfall on _October 29_ (I still remember the date because one year later to the day was when Hurricane Sandy hit). Turns out, the reason our trees lose their leaves in the winter is to reduce the surface area of their branches before heavy snowfall begins. Even though it wasn't *that* much snow compared to some of the blizzards we've had, it did a ton of damage because of all of the downed tree branches, snapped under the weight of more snow than they could support.

I'm an Ohio boy (southern Ohio, Appalachian foothills, which I can't truly believe is lumped in with the rest of the North) and my first run-in with Fire Ants was late August 2000 at Parris Island, SC. 18 year old me, outside in the pitch black morning, waiting to start my initial PT test in order to hopefully begin bootcamp and become a Marine. As I stand there, scared completely sh*tless and questioning every decision that lead to that point, my feet and lower legs began to feel like they were on fire. Too afraid to move (we were in formation), I just stood there, gritting my teeth, hoping that whatever was happening to my legs would pass. A few seconds later the recruit next to me starts wigging out which drew the attention of the Drill Instructor. The DI comes over screaming because of the commotion, then immediately shoves me off of a shin deep fire ant mount and proceeded to berate me while giving me permission to swat the ants off of me. It took my legs about 2 weeks to fully heal, but I didn't miss any training. You folks can definitely keep those god awful things, lol.

Fall is gorgeous. It is my favorite season. The weather is just perfect. Not too hot, not too cold. Brisk. Fall is brisk and refreshing. I will also agree with you on public transport. I love trains. Everywhere should have more trains. It helps the economy by providing cheap transport, massively expanding the places where you can look for and maintain jobs, cuts down on gridlock, and allows you to turn your commute to and from work into "me time" when you can nap or read a book or do some additional work so that when you get home to your family everything is done and you're ready for family time.

Trains need very high population density to work well, though, and most of the U.S. doesn't have anywhere near that population density. Using trains for commuting doesn't exactly work if you have an actual house with land. Trains are not actually cheap at all. They are expensive to operate and extremely expensive to build. But their cost per ride can be low (at least on short, local rides) when population density is high enough to have very high ridership, like in NYC. When the population is more spread out, trains will be more expensive than driving. Trains are certainly a great solution in *some* places, but they are not even a reasonable, let alone good, solution for passenger transport in most places, especially in a country as spread out as the U.S. If you look at the places where trains actually do work well, you will find that every single one of them has one thing in common: far higher population density than what most of the U.S. has, both in terms of how close large cities are to each other (for inter-city trains) and how densely packed everyone lives in (usually relatively expensive) small apartments. Personally, I prefer my way of commuting: I wake up, take a shower, and walk into the other room where my computer is. Or perhaps walk out to the gazebo in my back yard and take a laptop with me. Commute takes about 20 seconds each way. Even when I need to go in to the office, though, I can be there in 5 minutes in my car, since my office is not located in an overcrowded city center. With more and more work being able to be done remotely these days, I don't see large offices and in dense city centers being nearly as important in the future as they've been in the past. It's just not economically efficient to pack that many people into such small areas. Any given standard of living will cost much more in a densely-packed city..
@jenniferhanses

@@vbscript2 You're right that commuter trains do need a particular density to work. It would not work everywhere. Though places with houses actually could use commuter trains. The population density doesn't require apartment complexes. However, it is way cheaper than driving. I lived on the East Coast in Connecticut, which Boston to New Jersey has commuter rail systems, so it was very convenient. The price of a monthly ticket into Stamford where I worked was between $80 and $100 over the years I used it. At one point, a lady joined my commuter group (By which I just mean she commuted at the same time that I did, as you get this kind of community going on among people who wait for the train and travel together.) And I don't remember why did did it, but she later figured out she was spending $480 in gas to make the same commute when she had to drive the whole way. So the train was insanely cheap by comparison. Using the train saved her, $400 per month, or $4,800 per year, and was more relaxing on top of that. Also, there was a study done in Texas between a city that used commuter rail and a city that did not. I'm going to guess it was Dallas (I think that has trains) and Houston. But anyway, same country, same state government. And overtime what they discovered was that the property values in the city with trains increased while in the city without trains, all the value that went into the houses in the first city tended to go into increased commuter expenses. I'm probably not explaining that well, and it's been years, but, like people had to shell out the same amount of money when you combined mortgages and property taxes and commuter expenses, but in the city with trains, they essentially retained the wealth spent in the price of their house, which in the city without trains, the money kind of blew away in the expenses of the commute. And, you know, once the mortgage was paid off, the people with trains were able to stash more away in savings, while the people with trains still had the high commuting expenses, and their houses were worth less on the market. The US's main issue with train lines is not that we don't have the track, but that government sold track to industrial concerns in a lot of places. The New York corridor is one of the few places that retained the tracks and kept them running.

@@jenniferhansesBut that's all assuming that you want to commute into a big city to work in the first place, which is rapidly becoming less and less necessary. Factories are rarely in big cities anymore (cheaper to build them in smaller cities) and the white-collar jobs that have still been bringing people into office complexes in large cities are mostly able to be done remotely from home now. The most efficient way to commute is to simply not commute at all or to commute only a relatively short distance in a smaller town. The U.S.'s issue with (passenger) trains is that the U.S. is very large with a population that is very spread out (aside from a few exceptions like the Northeast Corridor that you've mentioned, where the population is relatively dense, especially around NYC.) You're right that the U.S. does have lots of rail track - the most of any country in the world and by a significant margin. However, the government didn't "sell" most of that track to anyone, but rather never owned it in the first place. The vast majority of the rail lines were built by the private rail operators. Of course, this is inter-city rail lines. Light rail within a city typically was and remains owned by the (local) government. The U.S. rail network is used primarily to haul freight around, which has a vastly higher (positive) economic and environmental impact than if that same rail were used for passengers instead (though most of it is also available for passenger use if an operator actually wants to do that.) Boxes don't care if they take 2-3 days to cross the country. People do. The U.S. hauls about 12x as much freight ton-kilometers per capita by rail as the EU does, for example. Rail is great for getting vast quantities of heavy stuff where speed isn't important across vast over-land distances. It's not so great at transporting people across vast distances, least of all when those people aren't already concentrated into small areas, which they aren't in most of the U.S.

@@vbscript2 You seem to be acting off of some incorrect assumptions. 1) During the pandemic, people worked from home. Now that the pandemic is over, businesses are pushing for more in-office time, and hybrid or at home work options are evaporating. There have been numerous articles about this in the last few months. 2) Also in regards to working from home, quite a lot of workers don't have what it takes to do so long term, and actually need office face time. Working from home is psychologically damaging for them, as they need human contact. And it ruins their focus as they can't keep to schedules. More hybrid options might work for such people, but they actually do need time in the office on a weekly basis. The number of people who can thrive purely at home is estimated at 10 to 15% of the work force. 3) "Assuming people want to work in big cities." Trains actually work really well for people who want to work in small towns and midsize cities as well. They broaden the scope of available jobs for those people who can't afford cars, as well as where such people can live. They can drop you off at the next town over. Big cities anchor commuter rail, but there are benefits for all the towns in between. This is also an ideal situation for moving to a hybrid workforce, as they can live out away from the city, but still make it into town when they need to meet up face to face. If you're actually advocating for more hybrid work, trains are likely the way to go. They also provide unique shopping experiences, as you can take the train into a small town and wander the main street for a day to see a different culture and buy local produce at farmers markets. 4) The US and various state governments were required to finance railway projects. They have sold out most of those interests to corporations in most cases.

As someone who was born and raised in NYC but has lived in the South for a majority of my adult life, your observations are spot on! I still have my accent to this day but now I have a hybrid of NYC slang mixed with southern slang when I interact with people 🙃 😅

NY transplant living in the south here ( from upstate, NOT NYC!) and true fall is one of the things I miss the most. Yeah, the mountains get fall, but for most of the rest of the south, its just hints of fall for a few days... and its less humid. I honestly miss snow, too. But what I don't miss? Deer ticks everywhere and the constant threat of getting a tick bite if you touch a plant. (I know there are ticks down in the south, but it is nothing like the northeast)

Fall is a whole mood in the North. I grew up in Boston and went to College in VT. Fall is our favorite time of year. And we're not pumpkin people no that's for basic b****es. No it's apples. Apple cider, apple pie, apple doughnuts, apple butter. It's awesome. Also maple everything. Seriously you haven't lived until you've tasted a maple creemie.

I used to go to hockey games when I was a teenager in the late 60's. It was in Greensboro, N.C. We are NOT fringe. I saw my Generals get crushed by the Russians 12-4. Still loved them. Went to a lot of regular games. I think they still have a team

As a South Jersey girl that lived in Georgia for 24 years, and now in the Pittsburgh area, I agree with everything that you said. They love to honk their horns up here. Hopefully, I will move back to the south real soon as I'm terribly missing it (expect for the bugs).

Some parts of the South have glorious fall color. The sad thing is that the North is creeping South; the top half of Virginia has more Yankees than Southerners now. The only things I might miss if I moved back to the South are bagels and pizza. Heck, I could live without bagels and pizza in exchange for good barbecue and fried chicken. One thing the South has that the North is quickly losing, is manners. Matt, you are the best!❤😂

I was in Canada a few years ago and when I was walking through the hotel lobby there were a bunch of people sitting around mesmerized by the TV. I took a look at what they were watching. Curling. Then I started watching. Then I started kind of getting into it. It is the most oddly engaging sport I've ever seen. It's not a real big sport in Texas. There is only one sport in Texas. On that note, however this Aggie vs Alabama thing turns out tommorow SEC Roll Call will have material to work with!

I'm from Michigan so I understood all of these. Truth be told I didn't even know what a fire ant was until a few years ago. My number 9 or 10 would be the ability to drive in more than half an inch of snow. I've blazed a new trail in feet of snow a number of times in a rear wheel drive F150 with no traction control and been perfectly fine.
