Would you be more frightened of swimming with sharks or sting rays?

I used to think sharks, but after what happened to Steve Irwin, I don't know... I think I'd still say sharks, as stingray injuries are far less likely to be fatal, unless it's a complete freak accident.
APBM,
Excluding things that relate to a family member, friend, or romantic partner, what is your most cherished possession, and why?

I'm not sure where my first "hand-me-down" car is... I think I sold it to someone. The first car I ever bought with my own money is still the car I drive now! (I don't think you've ever seen it, but a couple of LWers have.)
APBM,
What kind of car do you think you'll buy next?

As it stands now, I doubt I'll be getting a car any time soon. I think it has been about 10 years of being without a car.

You have been give the opportunity to live and work in the city of your choice for the next year. What city would you choose and why?

Wow, that's tough. I'd like to say somewhere like Dubai or Sydney or Shanghai, but I think I'd feel a little too isolated if I had to stay there for a whole year.
I'm going to narrow it down to three U.S. cities that I think would be fun: Seattle, Austin, and Portland, Oregon. If forced to decide among the three, I'd have to do a bit more research, and/or flip a coin a couple of times.
APBM,
Same question!

For me it would be Toronto, to see if I really do miss it after 26 years, like I keep telling myself, and to see if I really want to move back when I retire.
Astro Physics Beats Macrame,
Where do you think you want to retire to?

They are redoing your state quarter and asked you what should be on the back. What would you put on the back of your state's quarter?

How far do you live from the home you grew up in?

According to Google Maps, I currently live 1852 miles from the home where I lived from birth to age 12 and 987 miles from the home where I lived from age 12 till college (and where my parents still live).
As for the quarter, to the map of Texas and Lone Star depicted on the Texas state quarter, I would have added a blue bonnet and a mockingbird, and, possibly a pecan tree, three of our state emblems.

Hm...well *usually* I have great hair (not always!) and *usually* I have very defined arms and shoulders.
Now that damn stomach...
APBM,
What is something about your physical appearance you really like even though the general consensus among the rest of Western Civilization would tell you is not the best thing in the world?

My feet. Sexy hot feet, just in case you're into that.
aPbM,
What are your thoughts on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac... federal conservatorship is a salvation of the slumping economy? the harbinger of end times? the pet names the Cobalts use for each other in the heat of passion? or something else?
