get the hell out of Illinois

In May 04 I trek’d across the Great US of A through Illinois, Missouri, and Oklahoma to arrive in the great state of Texas. Yee Haa.. I moved here for the warm weather and to “get the hell out of Illinois”. But now I miss Illinois. I miss my friends, I miss Chicago, and I miss the trees and warm summers (not sweltering hot like in Texas). I think it’s great to get out. But it wouldn’t take much to get me back.
