25. Oh good grief

May 2024

I was born in a northern tier state, and lived in another as well.

Winter doesn't shut down anything completely up there anymore than hurricane season shuts down anything in the south for months on end. You get some bad weather here and there in either, but, overall, you aren't stuck in your home all season long. Nobody would be living there if that were the case.

You now choose to move to Arizona for the winter because you dislike the cold, for whatever reason, and more power to you if that's what you prefer. However, you didn't move there because Brainerd had 'nothing to do' that time of year. Because that's just an outright lie, and everyone who has lived up north knows it's an outright lie--and a silly one to boot.

good , but their leader bobs and weaves. AllaN01Bear May 2024 #1
That's a result of the great numbers of folks who have fled the hellhole that California is becoming, moved to Arizona Barry Markson May 2024 #2

I will concede that it is expensive and that worries me but beyond that chowder66 May 2024 #20
I think the "expensive" part results from the double-the-national-average state minimum wage. 4lbs May 2024 #22
