You read well don't you? I never have lived anywhere that had a 140 degree swing in temps. Read closely, I'm only gonna say it once (but its more than three words in so you will probably never make it this far). Cheyenne, Wyoming (place one) -40 with a 60 mile an hour wind last winter. Phoenix, Arizona (place two, see more than one place) 110 in the summer. Shopping is no better, I beg to differ (my opinion, respect it, I respect yours). If you must know, I made 33k as a Laramie County Sheriff's Deputy, I make 61k (do the math, that is a 25k difference). Do not even question my ability to recognize good food ( I am from the East and have traveled the world, that is a direct insult). Entertainment, there is more to it than shows my sad, sad, friend (you need to get laid, you're dragging me down, hold on, I'll make a call) How are you 10 hours away from the BEST (I said BEST) snow in St. louis if you are not flying? What about Florida? I must have missed the sunshine states premier snow destination. Cheyenne's walmart closes at 11 pm so wrong again. Safeway (Vons) closes at midnight, wrong again sheriff.

My apologies to you, sir, I thought any deputy of any kind made more than 33k/yr. You have absolutely made the right move to THEcesspool.

#2. shopping is way better here than LA or SF or Chi (only places i have been over 2 mil)...prices are cheaper than the CA cities, and there is greater availability of the stuff i want than in Chi. that and you can go to many stores 24hrs a day.

#6. sheriff, come on now. i know how you like review sites...many of vegas's restaurants are rated as tops in the country. i haven't had better thai food anywhere else (i have had equal, but not better), and you can get a better torta here at a 24hr place than numerous of the places i used to go in LA. i am afraid to ask where you have been eating, but since i know you don't answer my questions.......where have you been eating?

#7. that is just too stupid to respond to...get out and see some stuff, man.

#8. really...10 hours? have you ever skied/boarded? you need mountains and snow....much of NA is significantly further than 10 hours from either.

#9. have you ever lived anywhere other than here? walmart's in LA close at 10pm...most local grocery stores there do as well. and that is LA!!

sheriff....do some research b4 you post...you are embarrassing yourself again.
