Well, Paris today was like London a couple of days ago. Blech.

That heat dome is being kept near the surface by cold air aloft. Got to love the thermocline barriers....

Ho Ho Ho.....

I'm getting ready to go out and mow my jungle after all of this rain. The humidity is like 90+% at 90+ degrees.

Man, I remember that type of weather when I was in the Marines at Camp Lejuene, NC. It was brutal for a California boy not used to getting out of the shower and feel like you never took one because you're so sticky and sweaty. Ugh.

I remember calling my wife in California from a phone booth (remember those?) and it was pouring down rain and I'm in the booth sweating like a pig.

Here in the Midwest, we get the tropical heat and humidity minus the tropical breeze or nice ocean view.

I've been on the Guld Coast of FL this time of year. Even with access to a beach, the heat/humidity is brutal. That why my next door neighbor moves back here in the Summer.

We had thought about moving to Florida when we were still in Nevada since my wifes son lives in Ft Lauderdale. But she had never experienced high heat and humidity and I knew she would hate it at our ages now. When you are younger and grew up with it, it's probably a lot easier to deal with. So we ended up in northern Arizona where the humidity rarely gets above 15% in summer heat, about the same as Nevada. Plus we are at 3500 feet so don't get the extreme temps the valleys get.

My wife tells me that she wants to live somewhere warmer--especially during the Winter--but can't seem to make up her mind where.

She likes FL but not in the summer. She likes the Nashville, TN area but it's not far enough South.

She likes the Reno, NV Area because the climate is like Tehran without the smog but it's way too expensive. She lived there when she first came to the US. She has a sister that lives there that she gets along with well but has two brothers that always want them to move in with them to take care of them that live over in the Sacramento area about 2-3 hours away. They have been nagging their sisters (two in IN and one in Reno) for several years to uproot their lives to come and move in with them to wait on them hand and foot. They are both not in the best of health either. They can't seem to move this direction because it gets cold here. Everyone has to uproot their lives to become their slaves. I've never seen two more demanding and needy people in my life. They are typical middle-eastern males that can't wipe their own asses without their wives, mothers, or sisters around to do it for them. Most people would suck it up and move to where the situation is best in spite of the weather.

There is no way in hell that I would move to Commiefornia. I would consider FL. I know some people in the Northern Gulf Coast area including a nephew and his family. TX seems interesting.

We actually came from a small town of 9000 an hour east of Reno called Fallon where the Top Gun Naval Air Station is. I loved it there except for the long cold winters. Not lots of snow, but always cold for at least 4 or 5 months because of 4000 ft altitude. We left the Sacramento, Ca area in 2005 and lived in Fallon for 15 years. But yeah, housing has gone crazy the past few years in that area. I am not happy in this town at all and wish we had never left. But our home on an acre on the edge of BLM is now worth $150k more than we sold it for in 2020 because there is very little building in Fallon since is it surrounded by BLM and alfalfa fields.

California housing now is completely insane. The house I grew up in Torrance in SoCal my parents paid $7500 for in 1955 is now worth $1.2 million! 13oo sq ft 3 bd one bath and I have no idea who the heck can afford homes at that price. NorCal isn't so bad away from the SF bay area, but still far from cheap. We sold our place for $410k in 2005 and Zillow says it is now worth $577k. Only paid $154k for it in 2000.

The thing I love about where I am at, I am older and do not need to go out often. My wood burner keeps me occupied along with a good supply of coffee. I have always loved to watch it snow. The cold doesn't bother me as much as it did my wife. I am content to have warm summers (but not too warm) and cold winters. I always prepare for the worst...

Living in this subdivision with no wood stove is one of the things I miss the most about living in a rural area like we came from.
