I’ve been telling people for a while that “Maryland is my second-least favorite state, right after Texas”. Now, that’s a bit inflammatory, especially for me, but it got me to thinking about how I really do think about our great union.
The following list is an list our United States of America, ranked in an arbitrary order based on my preference. I suppose the ranking comes from personal experience and marvel that I’ve built up over my few years on this planet. It’s probably not even that accurate, it’s just my first pass.

Well, it turns out I was wrong about Maryland, and I’m definitely not sure about 1 and 50. I’ll let you know if it changes, maybe it’ll be a series on this blog (under the category ’state preference’).
What I’ve learned from all of this is that I don’t really dislike any state in this union. I’m a big fan of our country, and our planet too. I used to be very bombastic about this kind of thing, but I think I’ve mellowed out. Let me know if you think I’m waaaay off, and I’m sure you do, but I’d really love to see your ordered list of the states.
