Being from a socialist nation that only sees six weeks of warm weather annually... life in Oklahoma is where it's at for me. I've lived in a few other states east of the Big Muddy and am glad to not live in them. My vocation has taken me to every US state (except Alaska and Hawaii) and none of them appeal to me as the cost of living is higher, the politics tend to even more socialist than here, often more crowded or the weather is too cold. I've lived in OK for more than three decades and have no plans on ever leaving. My wife has been down here for only 3+ years and loves it (summers are still hard for her but she's acclimating).
