"…going to montana soon, gonna be a dental floss tycoon" (sorry Frank!)
guys, i gotta tell you something. i live in LA and SF but if i really wanted to bag it all, i would head off to montana somewhere around whitefish (a town near glacier park). i was on the road with my old band for a month thru wyoming, montana and the dakotas and got to see it all up close.
all teh states up there are outrageous (and the college towns are crazy), but montana is superb with its unbelievable natural beauty! much bigger natural beauty that the rest .
of course, you have to give up civilization, but as anyone reading this at least you will have a set of 634S's and a heavy duty flannel (or 10) because you will need it.
oh yeah, "going to montana soon...... " now i cant get that tune out of my mind
jeez,
simon

Two girlfriends ago was a coworker from Montana…and pretty much all I know about Montanans is that there is nothing to do out there but drink beer, eat wings, sleep around and develop some serious emotional issues...
DougNg, you crack me up more than anyone else on this forum !

Simon, Paris is great as a tourist but I lived there for five years and it's super, super stressful. Just not fun. You probably didn't notice but look at the difference between a 30 yo woman and a 40 yo woman in Paris. Nowhere else have I seen such a pronounced difference. Living in other parts of France is somewhat different, especially if it's in the south or west, but Paris is punishing. Take my word.
Beatle, climate in NM is wonderful. You get all four seasons but they are all rather moderate. The summers hardly ever go above 30C the winters hardly ever go under -10C. Berlin had worse winter temperatures this year. It's basically a high desert plateau (around 2000m). The air is like silk and the light is absolutely unique, which is the reason why they do a great many films there and why there are so many artists.
Culturally, it's also richer than the other mountain states, I'd venture to say, though it does not have a university as nice as Colorado, if that's important.
It has wonderful pueblo architecture which is along with skyscrapers basically the only truly American architectural achievement.
Besides that NM just got rid of the death penalty which is a cultural achievement reserved mostly for the more Europeanized New England states. So, I'd venture to say that NM is politically a little more liberal than CO, MO, WY.
500 acres shouldn't be a problem. But it's not as green as Montana. As I said, more of a desert thing. I think real estate prices might also be higher there than in the other states discussed in this thread but am not sure.

I'd recommend the train. The traffic jams can rival LA and the cops are all over the place enforcing the slightest speeding infraction of 3 mph too much. Not fun. Gas prices are higher by factor three, IIRC. Speaking French will really help because the French are about as much into foreign languages as the Americans. LOL!
Which reminds me to take a photo of my t-shirt for you.

I visited Paris for the first time this past Christmas. All you smokers would be right at home there. EVERYONE smokes in Paris, and everywhere – in cafes, on the streets, in stores, wherever...and they start young. But man...Parisians just look so fucking cool -- no matter what they're doing ! Most Parisians are just really suave and good-looking…I can't quite figure out how they pull it off. Some of it's fashion, but much of it is just the Parisian's innate aura.

Jeez, the French are the first ones to admit it, which makes them bearable. The Germans would defend themselves or censor you for saying something like that. My GF is French by the way. Have been with her for 10+ years. I'd say (have said) that straight to her eyes and she'd agree. So don't be holier than thou. If you were French you'd quite certainly agree instead of being offended. Chances are you'd help reload.
When you've lived there for years, you will know what I'm talking about. Besides, I have made it clear that the Parisians are a particular bunch and my comment was referring to them in particular. I wouldn't want to take out the entire people, of course. You will see the same effect (to a lesser degree) with Mexicans talking about the people from D.F.Till
P.S. So before you cut my entire comment out, did you check back with any French people or even other moderators or forum members to see if they find this offensive? Or was it another personal decision? Censor first, ask questions later!
