This headline caught my eye because I must honestly say; I did not believe the good ole USA would be on that list. I was wrong. Although no US cities ranked among the top 5, we did make it to 7. Guess what? It's San Francisco! Hey, when I think Frisco I think fun. That's what this survey was about, Perception not Reality. We all want happiness but it’s mainly out of reach for most... I'm talking about the average bloke, not the rich buggers who look down their noses at the rest of us. Our only purpose to these guys is to wait on them hand and foot.
But I digress... Happiness is elusive to us in the states because… We are too busy scrapping with one another! And if that’s not bad enough... We’re encouraged to do so by those we select as leaders. How sad is this? As Rodney King (A Black Amer. who, on 3/3/91, was victim to police brutality) had asked so long ago, WHY CAN'T WE JUST GET ALONG? Sorry to say, we can’t! Americans rather Brawl not Party. Too bleak for me; See You in Rio!

I've done some travel within the United States when working for AT&T. Most of the travel was overnight,or two day trips to airports that allowed me some time to check the place out.....just the immediate area around the airport. I have four cities in mind that I would like to re-visit. Boston, Nashville, San-Fransisco, and New Orleans.
