I feel like I'm in another Dilbert strip this week, except it's not so much fun as it is sadistic. Definitely starting to think about that PhD in a wistful manner.

Here's a question: why do people live everywhere? I mean, I know that sounds odd and obvious, but why does anyone move TO some sleepy failing economically depressed half-city, or to a place where the average temperature is 1 degree? There have to be some places that aren't first on anyone's list, and yet, you find lots of people in places like that anyway. I don't get it. I can't be the only one who wonders such things.
