5 Things about Ohio

Before we lived here we had no knowledge of Ohio. We'd vaguely heard of Cincinnati - maybe from songs? Anyway, we love Ohio very much and we're very proud to live here.

So I'm going to post about it, just now and again...

1. There's quite a big Amish population in the NE of the state. I'll never, ever get bored of seeing them.

2. Famous Ohioans include John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, the Wright Brothers, Annie Oakley, Steven Spielberg, and Doris Day!

3. Getting together with your friends and making the name OHIO is a must for any self-respecting native.

4. Ohio borders a state called "Michigan". Michigan has a large population of hermits - people who live in caves and grow their hair and fingernails really long.

5. The college marching band in Columbus is pretty good:

Do people go to the YMCA in Ohio and elaborate? You'd need 8 people, of course.

Did you know that the French pronounce it oh-ee-oh (without sounding the H)? It sounds like something out of The Farmer's in his Den, or The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Iota - You have set the challenge - I must get 8 people togther and do YMCA OHIO. I'm pronouncing it in French right now - it sounds like a yodel!

The Ohio Yodel! Sung to the tune of YMCA! Could be a hit.
