(5,126 posts)I grew up in California, so wild fires, mudslides, heat waves, smog and earthquakes are more my cup of tea.
I was working part time at the college while I attended and so came early, parked and did a double shift basically. BUT in the summer, the parking lot (black asphalt) turned on me. It looked new and shinny, but with my work heels I sunk down about an inch each time I stepped as I walked to my car and had to carry something to keep from burning my hand on the car door handle.
Where I lived was pretty awesome, though. There was a pool. But had to keep jumping out whenever electrical storms decided to zoom over every couple of hours.
Drove down to Key West on 7 Mile Bridge (BEFORE they made it wider) and stopped at Duck Key to let the little guy play in the water because it was wading depth for about 20 feet. Again, the weather was different every 5-10 minutes on the way down. CRAZY.
IF DeSatan ever steps down and a less dictator type is elected, I'll snow bird it and visit in winter. But year round? Nah. Even 30 below zero is preferable. Layers, ya' know?
