New England is very nice - and safe, too. No hurricanes to speak of, no earthquakes, tornados, volcanos, grizzlies, mountain lions, poisonous lizards or snakes, etc. You get warm summers and cold winters - you can be at the beach in June and on the slopes in December. Lots of forested land and some sizable peaks for climbing. And Boston is nice.
I have one hyphenated word to descibe it: gun-toting. And one non-hyphenated one: humid. Ooo, and another: flat. Wait, two more: pickup truck. *kidding* Hank.
