Well-being Neopolitans enjoy the sunset

Turns out Naples, FL has been identified, according to ABC News, Ft. Myers,  as the  top the Gallup-Healthways State of American Well-Being: 2015 Community Rankings Report, which measures how residents of 190 U.S. cities feel about their physical health, social ties, financial security, community and sense of purpose.

"Naples is a high well-being place," Dan Witters, research director of the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, told TODAY.com  "People in Naples really like their communities."

Residents there have the lowest levels of stress in the country, report little depression and eat healthy on a daily basis, the report found. Many of them like their daily activities and enjoy an intellectually lively culture, telling interviewers they learn or do something interesting every day.

Frankly, we have been noticing a strange sense of euphoria hereabouts, but the scuttlebutt down here is that the cause is either the water being released from Lake Okeechobee by the Army Corps of Engineers, the chemically-tainted prevailing winds from Key West, or the drinks at the Blue Martini.

Whatever the cause, here we are in Swellville. The fact that Barnstable Mass is in 5th place doesn't detract at all from this honor
