Where 'o Where?

I couldn't sleep last night. Sometimes it just happens. I toss and turn and just can't quite get comfortable. Maybe I am just getting old!

As I toss and turn, I wonder of where I should relocate. What state. In order of preference, here is my current list:

• Illinois
• Wisconsin
• Iowa
• Minnesota
• Missouri
• Indiana
• Ohio
• North Dakota
• South Dakota
• North Carolina

So, what do you, my kind read think? It needs to be a state with computer programming jobs in combination with the possibility of a quiet rural lifestyle less than 50 miles away. Comments???
