Kind of the grass is always greener on the other side theory I guess..Ends up being like ground hog day here too..only 2.5 months into summer with just six more to go..yippee. A man can dream of California type weather and diverse landscape most of the year but can he live without Florida's beaches?
I could not agree more..... Excellent post.

I'm living proof that paradise can be found by a lake up in these mountains. Each to their own
You sir, are lucky... I was supposed to be going up to MA in 3 weeks, but had to postpone my return to paradise for another 8 months.

The everyone in a hurry thing is for sure here. Especially driving here. People have no patience, it's like diving in Boston, NY, NJ, and Washington DC here!!! The opposite is during season we get a few hundred thousand old people doing 20 in a 55 with nowhere to go....

For me as everyone knows, it's a weather thing. I have entered my "crabby time" of the year. I am miserable starting mid April till Thanksgiving...
