It took me 44 years to get up this mountain!
Suit yourself, for myself, I’m just not ready to start rolling down the hill!
Well, if you have seen the Ozark Mountains, they are like SUPER HUGE hills rather than mountains. Even so, they are called mountains and I surmise it is because at one time they were mountains: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ozarks From what I understand, Springfield was built on top one the hills around here (and it’s a pretty big hill, not a mountain). Here’s where I get my theory that they were probably higher at one time- towards the Illinois border there is the New Madrid Fault. It goes through S.E. MO and they say, when it goes off again and it’s the big one, we will feel it clear over here in S.W. MO.
