Huzzah!

In a recent survey, conducted by Gallup, Utah was named the "happiest" place to live, followed by Hawaii (Yay for Carrie!)  then, wait for it...Wyoming????  Apparently the survey tries to measure people's overall well being.  

Want to know the most unhappy place to live?  In last place you get West Virginia, followed by Kentucky then Mississippi.  

So friends, let's have 3 cheers for living in the happiest states!

That doesn't strike me as at all surprising as in my own unrelated study I've found that Utah also houses the prettiest people (and we all know pretty = happy).

I'm also not surprised by the lowest states. The few people I've met from West Virginia have been rather unfortunate looking...

Have you seen the people in Wyoming? I had a rather nasty run in with a one armed man trying to sell fireworks at one of those stands in Evanston. He tried to assure me that these fireworks were completely safe, not like the ones that took off his arm...YIKES!

Yes, yes...Wyoming does seem like a long shot for third. Isn't that where the Matthew Shepherd hideousness took place as well? Apparently the folks in Wyoming are neither attractive or nice...at least not the ones we've heard of.
