Leaving Wisconsin?

As Lynn is applying for Law Schools on both coasts I have been thinking about life in Wisconsin, and what I love about this state... I found this amazing quote-

To think of the Midwest as a whole anything other than beautiful is to ignore the extraordinary power of the land. The lushness of the grass and the trees in August, the roll of the hills (far less of the Midwest is flat than outsiders seem to imagine), that rich smell of the soil, the evening sunlight over a field of wheat, or the crickets chirping at dusk on a residential street: All of it, has made me feel at peace. There is room to breathe, there is a realness of place. The seasons are extreme, but they pass and return, and the world seems far steadier than it does from the vantage point of a coastal city.
