I had a bad day.

I have nothing meaningful to share. As a Cincinnati import, I could go right in to all the things that drive me crazy about this area. I could talk about how awful the snow removal is and how no one knows how to drive in the snow. I could talk about how I heard that mid-westerners are nice. No one told me it was a fake nice...I'll be really nice and helpful and when you walk away I'll be irritated and say nasty things about you.

And then there is the whole identity crisis. Are we Northern? Are we Southern? Are we Mid-western? I suppose its possible that this could be the core issue. There are defined personality traits that go with each of these regions. When you are caught in the middle, what do you do?

There is another thing I could also talk about. The one thing that, if I had my wish, would send me packing back to New England in a heartbeat...
I could talk about that incredible sense of entitlement that most tri-stater's have. I've never experience anything like it. Where does it come from? Why so entitled Cincinnati and Northern KY...especially Northern KY? I seriously need someone to explain the attitude. There must be some secret that I am not yet prithee.
