Thankful for Albuquerque

Here is today's projected high temperature for my home town of Cedar Falls, IA. (At the time of this writing, it was -23. Not wind chill, actual temperature. That is jacked up.)


Here is the projected high temperature for Albuquerque today:

I know suffering builds character and all, but I like living in the desert this time of year.

It is a balmy 14 below (w/out wind chill) in Northern Illinois. So, we are kind of a happy medium between CF and New Mexico.

School is called off. We have a son hurling with some sort of bubonic plague.

Consider this a post-card with, "Wish you were here." at the bottom.

Today I'm pretty thankful for the decision I made a couple years ago to move from Minneapolis (high yesterday of -12) to the central California coast (high yesterday of 73).

Currently -39 with the wind chill.

So jealous.

Yes, but we also have the change of seasons. I'll take that trade-off of gorgeous trees in the fall, crisp cool air, and the smell of spring for a couple of days in the year that your skin can freeze on contact with the arctic air.

In Texas, winter is 50 degrees on average. Yah, I'll take that thanks.

Is it true that you can leave a bag of chips out and it won't get stale?

The grass is always greener... er.... except in the desert. Just kidding. I loved my time in Iowa, in Phoenix, Arizona and I love it in Japan. Each has good and bad points. I do miss central heating though!
