Oh, and another interesting though about the Northwest. If I remember a few years ago, when my girlfriend was diagnosed with MS, I found a couple medical journal articles that stated the Northwest had a higher ratio of MS than any other region in the nation. Have you seen these studies. I know my girlfriend is looking into it as she still lives in "dry-shities" Washington. I told her I thought it happened to her because she still lives with a nuclear reactor in her backyard *shudders*.
