41. I used to live in San Diego

May 2012

but I was pretty far from the border with Mexico, even though I was close to the airport. What I really liked about San Diego was the weather. They didn't have a single tornado (also known as a twister) while I was there, and although a hurricane is a remote possibility. Of course there was never any snow and a blizzard was completely out of the question. Aside from the occasional earthquake the area is pretty immune to disasters, although a brush fire once came close to our house.

We lived just half a mile from the Interstate, and even though the soil wasn't the best in the world, using avian poo instead of chemical agents we could practice organic agriculture and raise some mighty fine home grown strawberries. The enriched soil in our plot gave us strawberries that literally burst with flavor. So it turned out that those so-called authorities, who thought they were so smart in telling me my attempt to raise strawberries would be a failure, were just a gang of know-it-alls who turned out to be wrong.

Well, I'm screwed. Wait! Is that word on the list too? 1monster May 2012 #1
