About a year ago, I read David Pogue's book _How To Prepare For Climate 
Change_.  He began by saying it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, 
it's coming. (I know some here will mock that idea, but let's move on.) 
He addressed the question of the best places to live by listing the 
environmental and other hazards associated with various areas of the 
country. Rising sea levels and hurricanes in Florida, earthquakes in 
California, a risk of epic tsunami in the Pacific Northwest, water 
shortages in much of the west, and on and on.

Examining the country region by region, he eventually said the upper 
midwest was the best place to be. As a further bonus, I think the 
bicycling is great around here. Lots of quiet country roads, cooperative 
motorists, a city with a good old grid street plan, not a lot of 
traffic, etc. I'm content.
