Derailment--
Weird, Crack Monk. I moved from judgmental-capital of the Universe, Colorado Springs, CO to Seattle, WA just 2 months ago for precisely the reasons you describe. Not only is this city badass, but it's full of nerds and liberals! I don't know if you've noticed, but King County decides everything. The civil unions thing came up on the ballot; King County voted yes, the entire rest of WA voted no. It won. Same thing with the 2010 Senate election. I catch myself sometimes being shocked when I say something previously controversial or even esoteric (damned Linux!) and everyone around me not only understands what I'm saying and agrees with me. It's like a haven of sanity.
-- back to the thread...
So far the trend seems to agree with the empirical wisdom, that we really are 'averages' of our friends. I'm surprised to see no one said they were significantly worse than all of their peers or significantly better. I wonder how physical fitness falls, now. Are the majority of you similar BMI's to your peers?
