You live in a place where seasons are meaningless abstractions. Sort of like identifying oneself as an American political conservative.....or liberal. I don't think I'd like living where you do. g. who takes solace from the fact that we at least have that much in common. |

If you're seeing trees starting to bud in early January you wouldn't know Spring if it jumped up and bit you on the tit. It's Winter, Dead Of, and that's another season which poses an imminent danger to your mammaries. -- Ken Fortenberry |

I've seen four seasons a year almost every year for more than half a century. Nothing to howl or growl about. One gets used to it....or one doesn't.....makes no difference. They come, and then they go. At the very least, one learns to recognize them. Meanwhile, you live in a place where seasons are a meaningless abstraction. And taking pride in being an asshole incapable of civil relationships (or even brief encounters) with human beings does not make one charming or cuddly. It just makes you an asshole. G that.

Sometime I wonder why we didn't retire to a tropical isle??? My wife and I considered moving elsewhere for retirement, including Montana. When you start looking, it quickly becomes obvious that no place is free from downsides. I've lived on the Chesapeake Bay, on the San Fransisco Bay and a number of places in between .... this one is pretty nice, 'cept for August and is close to almost anything one could want from ocean to 14,000 peaks, big city culture to small town craft fairs, etc etc. We have friends and family here and good access to all services at the same time as we feel rural. We have a small house that suits a retired couple and I now lease out the pasture to a very trustworthy neighbor. He gets it for well under market rate, knows it and knows I know it. So, he now does all the farm work unless I happen to want to putter a bit, and his family is very good about watching the place for us, the months I'm gone. My wife is more emotionally tied to the physical home than I am and she really likes this one and this area, even in August. All in all it's a very good retirement setup .... as much by luck as planning, but, heah, I'll take it. Given my absolute wishes ( spelled lottery ;-) I'd RV half the year where I do now and the other half in New Zealand and/or Patagonia. I've traveled a lot, within the US, and have all my life. I like a moving home, at least in decent weather that allows lots of time outside. I sometimes feel more "at home" pulling into a place that isn't home, but where I've been before, know how to get around, and know some people .... than I do at home. |
