I have the option of going to San Jose - Costa Rica for extended business (90 days) - anybody here have the downlow? Do they have golf in San Jose? How safe? Sounds like fun to me - just the thing to mix up life a bit.

BM Wuap. Maybe not about the golf part.

I've been to Costa Rica twice, once for two weeks and once for a single day off of a cruise ship. The only part of the whole country that I didn't like was the big city of San Jose. If I go to Costa Rica again, I'll be flying in and out of Liberia.

I loved the smaller towns in the rest of the country. We drove around and saw a lot of it.

Probably because of all the happy people.

41st?!?

I'm pretty happy, and most people I associate with like Oregon also. I'm betting it's all those easterners who chafe under the yoke of Kate Brown's dictatorship.

Why is Utah such a depressing place?

Saw this map today, and based on some stories I have heard on a website I frequent, it did not surprise me at all.

Just missed Madagascar!

What? I was just off of Perth. You and I only live 120 miles from each other.

Just missed Madagascar!

Me, too! I think I can swim for it--just a few hundred miles...

The Antipodes map. If you dug a hole straight down and through the Earth, where would you come out on the other side?

I ended up in the Indian Ocean. (Note to self, redirect current tunnel operation)

Looks like Utah has fared the best in this economic downturn.

I don't think Minnesotans know what it means to be hot.

Or Californians.
