has refused to move because he had/has a few luddite clients who can't find technology enough to use a damned computer or a smartphone. Most of those luddites are dead now or are soon to be and no longer of much value to him. Sadly, we're really too old now to move to someplace on the west coast (preferably southern California) and the real estate prices are out of our price range. Oh, and BTW, I was born here. We have an electric grid that kills people in winter and is barely able to keep the a/c going in the consistently sweltering summers. In DFW where we live, the forecast for the foreseeable future are in the 103 degrees to 107 rage day after fucking day. Oh, and don't even get me going about this asshole state's shitface crip-in-charge and his chucklehead clowns in the so-called legislature.
