Happy States

I stumbled upon an article about the happiest states. With Utah, Hawaii and Wyoming as the top three, I decided it was no wonder that I'm so happy! I've spent more of my life in these three than all others combined. Interestingly, however, with respect to the general reasons given for why peoople in some states are happier -- wealth and tolerance (measured by the number of bohemians), these three are outliers. Note the throwaway line at the end of the caveats acknowledging this fact and suggesting that maybe happiness is a function of strong families, instead. Now there's a thought! Maybe that's why I'm so happy!
