Punishingly Intricate
Actually, driving by Gary, Ind on the way from Chicago to boyfriend's folks place in southwestern MI felt shockingly VERY familiar to me.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I don't think I know anyone who really loves the ocean who didn't grow up with it.
I grew up in Ohio and I LOVE the ocean.
God, me too. It just feels *right* to me. I mean, something in me that I didn't even know was tense just relaxes when I see the ocean. It's perfect. I would move to a coast, but I seem to have a hometown honey keeping me here.
::snicker:: Sort of like when I lived in Ohio and people there would complain about humidity.
Hey, we got all kinda humidity here! We got MAD humidity here in this goddamn river valley.
And we were like, "To keep the pipes from freezing?"
After about five minutes of hysterical laughter, they assured us we didn't need to do anything so bizarre because in Ohio, they can bury the pipes below the frost line. Then they asked us why they didn't do that in Florida.
My neighbor's pipes froze a few years back, so it does happen. Not much, though.

My mother has loved the ocean since she first saw it at age 13 or so. She grew up in the Interior, which is lake country.
Me? I love the lakes and take the salt water for granted.
Having always lived in flat places until now, I generally disbelieve in the existence of mountains until I see them.
Ahahaha! I didn't believe in flat until I flew over the middle of the country. I figured it would be, like, Eastern Washington flat, which is to say, somewhat hilly.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
From a geological standpoint, ocean v. mountain results in a win for the ocean, every single time.
Besides, oceans have mountains. And mountains don't have oceans.

I think mountains are just showing off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Plei speaks for me, go figure. Flat is strange. So are places that don't have a lot of trees/moss/groundcover.
