I was a year out from living in Wisconsin and couldn't for the life of me refrain from calling myself a Wisconsinite. My heart is not where I currently live, nor will it ever be. In less than two years I will move, mostly likely back to my home state no matter what the personal cost to me.

You may recall I likened your signature line to a Road Cyclist's Prayer, "Dear Lord, Just three paved feet to the right of the white fog stripe is all I need."
I’m a native of Michigan, but only been to Wisconsin briefly once. I still have much family and descendants in Michigan and visit at least twice a year, and bring my bike…that’s where I got my start as a lifestyle cyclist.
...Back in the 60’s in the Motor City, I had an “English Racer,’ and longed to tour at about age 14, but then joined the car culture. In Ann Arbor MI in the 70’s I really realized the utility of bicycles for commuting, and began touring on a five-speed Schwinn Suburban, but soon bought a Mercier as did my girlfriend, later my wife. We toured in Michigan and Ontario.
In 1977 we moved to Boston on our bikes, as a bicycling honeymoon from Los Angeles to Washington, DC and then took the train up to Boston...

I still tout Michigan as a Great Great Lakes State, and I have posted that whether on Bike Forums, here in Boston, and elsewhere,
He only visited Michigan once many years ago when he and a buddy drove out there, hearing a rumor that marijuana was legal in Ann Arbor (wrong).

The Earth responses remind me of something I wrote in kindergarten for a "write your address" assignment. I'd written my full address, then added United States, North America, Western Hemisphere, Earth, Solar System, Milky Way, Universe. (I was really geeky, even then). Anyway, I'm currently in a small town in the northeast section of Ohio, where it snows a lot for nearly half the year. Still in the same country, hemisphere, and galaxy, although sometimes I'm not so certain about which universe.
I've been in Phoenix, AZ since '88.
