Well I'd rather do summers in arizona than winters in maine or anywhere else of a northern clime..Its even too cold here in NC for me...The older i get the less tolerance i have for the cold.....Here in the SE USA theres too much green..theres way too much rain..why we get about as much rain as AZ gets sunshine... and theres too much of a arthritic pain index for me...And trees are overrated...LOL... I'd take Arizona any day of the year...and twice on sundays...That seems to be the general consensus of most people that live in the NorthEast. You know , I grew up here, and never knew anything but the desert, and it has its own kind of beauty to be sure. But , boy.....I see Gary’s photos of green as far as the eye can see and your photos of beautiful Maine seaside living and Randy’s photos of the Cool and forested Pacific NorthWest. It really makes you realize just how beautiful some of the places you guys live are.
