Ohio vs. North Carolina: Round 1!

Let's spice things up a little and get away from just the biographical account of our move from North Carolina to Ohio. For today's post, I've created a little competition chart. The chart is just the beginning of the competition between the two states. Now, obviously, many generalizations and stereotypes will be made in this post, and future ones, but just know they don't apply to everyone in that state. In other words, don't be offended, unless you need to be.

Well, I can't figure this technology out, and I can't type on the bottom of this page, so here is the farm fact of the day:
1) Just before it's time to be harvested, most crops dry out, their leaves change colors, and/or many appear to be dying/wilted.

2)If wet hay is bailed, it can become combustible.

        

	North Carolina	Ohio
0	Hot at night!	Weather cools at night	1
1	Southern Hospitality – People are friendly; they wave, and like/appreciate social interaction	Not nice! While many friendly people exist, I have met many frowns and dealt with many socially awkward moments. Multiple native Ohio people have supported me in this.	0
1	Blue Sky!	Gray! While it is still nice outside, once the gray comes out, it is here for months! Hello depression!	0
0	Regularly in the top 10 for obesity—Nobody deserves to win this one.	Regularly in the top 10 for obesity—Nobody deserves to win this one.	0
1	Collegiate athletics – Tobacco Road represents three of the strongest athletic programs in the country (Duke, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill-UNC, and North Carolina State University-NC State). Plus, many other strong athletic programs exist.	While many good universities exist, all I ever hear about is Ohio State.  This will rock some people, but maybe I should say, “Go Blue!” (That’s Michigan for you non-athletic supporters.)	0
0	Tobacco is one of the strongest agricultural industries.	I have noticed many smokers, but tobacco is not grown here.	1
1	Very few factory jobs-While unhappy people exist, most people enjoy their work.	Factory jobs - Over the years I have met many people who hate their jobs, but they work in the factories because it’s “what they do.” Some go home to families and hobbies that provide an escape, but too many fall into drinking, depression, and other negative habits. (Remember, this is just a generalization and does not apply to everyone.)	0
0	Professional Sports – Carolina Panthers, Carolina Hurricanes, Charlotte Bobcats, and other lesser-known pro/semi-pro teams-A lot of bandwagon, fair-weather fans	Professional Sports – Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Cavaliers,  and other lesser-known pro/semi-pro sports teams – Many die-hard fans for constant, losing teams	1
0	Basements only exist when homes are built on sides of hills.	Most houses have basements!	1
1	Topography – Beaches and Mountains!	Some nice hills, but a lot of flat fields	0
5	North Carolina wins Round 1!		4
