    been a while. But such a cool little town. I keep telling my wife I'm retiring there with or without her. The climate was perfect. New
    Mexico is another place you'd enjoy if you like that type of climate
    (but not quite as hot).

    Very nice. It's currently 30c here in Ontario with high humidity so
    you have to chew the air when you breath. I don't care though as I
    hate the cold even more then the heat. LOL Grandson's 4'th birthday
    party so I'll just live in the pool with him. LOL

    I dislike the humid days we get here, but I love the heat. When it's hot with low humidity (almost never here in Ontario) it's the only time I don't have constant pain. I wish we had a province in Canada like the state of Arizona, I'd move in a second.


    I agree with you about low humidity helping my health too. I've never really liked any temps over 70 no matter what size I've been. Skinny or fat. I sleep better when it's cold. It's a lot easier to get warm in the cold, than cool in the heat! I think I'm one of the few people that do MORE during a snow storm! :)

    I'm KINDA close to you, Northeast Ohio. Lately we've been having VERY mild winters. I can count the snow days on one hand this year. :(

    I lived in Arizona for a couple years. Sedona is beautiful! I lived in Phoenix, it was a bit too hot for me. It would push 120 degrees for a couple of weeks within moments of the june-august months. I always describe it
    those who havent been there, the only way I can ... Opening the door to my apartment felt very similar to opening an oven door and reaching in to grab something. It was a pretty intense heat. But Sedona is slightly higher altitude and if I remember right, it begins the Rocky mountains. Many John Wayne films were made there. It has the beauty of the Red desert rocks and cactus, while just a short drive away pine trees and forest. I think it was called "Flagstaff?" It's been a while. But such a cool little town. I keep telling my wife I'm retiring there with or without her. The climate was perfect. New Mexico is another place you'd enjoy if you like that type of climate (but not quite as hot).

    YES, that is right! You cannot explain that to someone who thinks anything below 80F is "cold," though. :)

    I'm KINDA close to you, Northeast Ohio. Lately we've been having VERY mild winters. I can count the snow days on one hand this year. :(

    I am a few hours south, in Kentucky. In this area, it did snow some, but I
    do not remember it ever covering the ground. Wait... there was one day it
    did cover the parking lot at work, early in the morning when I get there,
    but it did not stick around.

    The school kids had more "extreme cold" and "flu" days off than snow days
    this year.

    I had a friend who joined the US Army after high school. Spent his

    Benning, GA. 30c temps, 90 percent humidity, and this was back when
    they ran in combat boots!

    Charles,

    I've been waiting for this summer to be over, I hate the high temps!

    Even though the winter cold makes the arthritis hurt more, it means
    no insects, no heat illness, and no tornadoes.

    Plus, in the winter, you can put on clothes to keep warm. In the
    summer, there's a limit to what you can remove, before it's illegal
    (unless you're in a nudist colony...but, even there, once you get to
    butt naked, you can't go any further...whether Ethel is looking or
    not <G>).

    Mike,

    YES, that is right! You cannot explain that to someone who thinks anything below 80F is "cold," though. :)

    Sounds like the folks in South Florida. When it dipped below 70, the
    winter clothes came out!! <G>

    I am a few hours south, in Kentucky. In this area, it did snow some,
    but I do not remember it ever covering the ground. Wait... there was
    one day it did cover the parking lot at work, early in the morning when
    I get there, but it did not stick around.

    There has been so little snow in central Arkansas the last 3 winters,
    that the snow lovers are just furious.

    The school kids had more "extreme cold" and "flu" days off than snow
    days this year.

    Not sure if they have those here, but there'll probably be COVID-19
    days next.

    That's how they made sure you were serious about joining. If you made
    it though that boot camp without dropping dead you were a solder! I
    wasn't able to serve in the Canadian Army due to health issues, but I
