Born and raised in Kirtland OH (Lake County) till I moved to the left coast. I do so love the look on the faces of way-left associates here in Seattle when I tell em how proud I am of the fortitude, insight and intelligence of my "white-bread, readneck, midwest, hick" hometown.
Thanks OHIO (round on both ends and HI in the middle, Heart of it all, Clevelands a Plumb and Skyline Chili--I love it)
