@Rockhead,

Actually, where I live there is a movement to revive wheat growing, imagined and supported by a couple who run an artisanal bakery. I can walk from my house to see cows. It was 105 one day this July!

The states of New England are perfectly placed in the universe. Some scientists claim that the six states of New England are the basis of the center of the universe and that the center of the universe is constantly rotating in a 24 hour cycle as well as a bigger elliptical orbit that lasts 365.25 day cycle around an off centered star.[citation needed]
