Debate.
I hate winter. Hate, loathe, despise, detest and curse it with a passion. This much I know, being a native Southern Californian and having lived in Pennsylvania for the past 10 years. It's like living on Mars. Half the year I need a goddamn moon suit just to go out and get the mail or something, and the salt and frozen filth on the roads makes driving less than pleasant. There's two kinds of people who live in the Northeast: the natives who don't know any better, and the transplants who become imprisoned in the ice because of family or career. Then when summer comes along (assuming it isn't canceled like it was in 2009) it starts to rain all the time, until even the mushrooms growing in the moss have mildew on them. Disgusting little area of the world -- thanks for bringing it up!

I'd love to move to San Antonio or Las Cruces, but I'm trapped by my job. Frack it all.

Actually, as it so happens, it usually doesn't.

Though, of course, that's neither here nor there.

Nor There, I tell ya...

NOR THERE!

Well, I will say this. Though I disagree, I like the way you make your case. 😀

Sigh. Maybe I shouldn't skip my meds anymore.

I used to think a move to Mexico might just be the ticket, but not anymore. The country is being torn apart by the violence stemming from the drug trade -- in large part thanks to U.S. Prohibition policies. But I digress...

...Al is a funny guy. But he is also a very serious guy who believes humans may have only 10 years left to save the planet from turning into a total frying pan. ..


That was four years ago.

Those of you on the left who don't like the cold and the snow, don't worry about it... the Earth only has about 5 more winters in it, and after that, endless summer.

Unless, of course, Algore's version of "science" turns out to be a total hoax.

More than ever, visitors to Mérida and the surrounding Mayan ruins are leaving a day or two in their schedule to visit the colonial city of Campeche. It is located about a two-hour drive west from Mérida. The town is full of history and romance, with a beautifully renovated Centro Histórico.
