I'll tell you what -- if this crazy fall is any indication of what winter
will bring, I'll be with you 100%...

Choose carefully. Last Friday, the Texas stockbroker on NPR said it was 15
degrees down there. And they get hurricanes there and in the southeast, so you
don't want to go there. Maybe Arizona?

Just so I can broil from April till October? Nah. Maybe someday, when I
can be a snowbird, but I couldn't stand living there year 'round. My eyes
just crave the intense green of spring in the Midwest, after a week in the
desert.

Kinda like this:

I don't think there is a perfect climate, outside of Southern California --
and that area has pretty much been ruined, sadly.

Ah, grasshopper, you need to consider Northern California or Southern Oregon
for your nirvana. Four full seasons, much rain, little snow, much summer
sun, little winter chill below freezing.

ain't that the truth. My friend who lives there has a house with no
a/c and no insulation, and they don't need either, and their backyard
really is part of their everyday living space, basically all year
round. Then you leave their house to drive somewhere and oh crap.

Remember last month or so, Jay was discussing finding a second lodging
site to invest in, somewhere in the south? Now we know exactly why!

Not that I want any more people moving to Arizona, but Arizona is a lot more
than hot summer desert. We also have mountains, canyons and high grasslands
all having their own unique climates.

I can drive 45 minutes south from Tucson and be dry and 90 instead of dry
and 105. I can drive 45 minutes and be at the top of a 9000' mountain in
pines, aspens and firs with temps in the 70's. In the summer you pick the
cooler destinations and in winter the warmer.

Using an airplane we can fly VFR to many of those kinds of places all year
round. We may miss our $100 hamburger 3 or 4 times a year because of
weather. Here it's hard to justify buying a 396.

These are kind of handy for quick, non-motorized snow removal. I've
used one for years.
