26. going home
how would you like 120 degrees with 70% humidity (very high for us)for 10 days in the summer? how about triple digit heat for 3months with high humidity for us? how about no rain for 18 months? the color here is brown, brown sand, brown shriveled plants and people. plants and shrubs die no matter how much water is applied. i have seen people walk around in the rain thanking god for the wet. most of the water falls as spit, like when someone spits out the car window and hits your windshield. the rain/spit hits your block but not the next one over. if you leave a plastic container outside for a month during the summer, it is destroyed, disintegrates. their is a law here that if a strange person comes into a restaurant and asks for water and nothing else, you must offer water or face a fine. a walk here must be done after the sun goes down, due to the heat. also carry a flashlight and big stick, mostly to watch out for rattlesnakes. they recommend any outdoor activity be done between 4am and 7am due to the heat. ever burn your hand, really burn with blisters, on your car when you forget not to touch the metal? it get's hot here, hot you do not understand until you try to live here. the heat/dryness does real damage to your skin and hair. ever had superheated air blown in your face?

florida is cheaper than arizona. to live here you need money just for the basics like water and electricity. takes 400.00 a month to cool a 38ft motor home. have you ever lived in florida or southern arizona? if you haven't then you are getting your info from someone's opinion. i have lived in both and florida is home, lived there for a very long time.

as far as the tinfoil hat, how do you know spying is not involved? we all carry cell phones and alot of people do not know that they are being kept track of by the phones. so where is your proof regarding analog/digital? if the government wants digital, then it will profit corporations and possible spying on us. the government never benefits us.
