What do you "assign" to the Shire?

[Oddwen]

I third mountain views and fall colors -



- though I do miss the red maples of Michigan.

I also would like to assign road trips where you eat no food that day save what you buy at gas stations, see views you've never seen before, and dare to walk to the edges where you'd never dare be before.

The realization that there truly is no water clearer than a mountain lake.

Gorges, canyons and an overabundance of pine trees.

Listening to a river you can barely see.

The ability to release the pressure in my own ears without the aid of gum.

The color green.

Oh, and pizza.
