Diary Of New Hampshire & Arizona

Dear Diary:

August 2: Moved to our new home in New Hampshire. It is so beautiful here. The forests are so serene and picturesque. Can hardly wait to see them all covered with snow. God's Country. I love it here!....

August 30: Hottest day of the God damn summer. I'm not even leaving the house. Water rationing has been in effect all summer so the $1700 worth of my "low maintenance" cactus in the yard just dried up and blew into the ****ing pool Even a cactus can't live in this heat! I can't cool off in the pool now! The pool is full of ****ing needles and every ****ing time I ****ing attempt to clean the ****ing cactus needles out of the ****ing pool filter I shred my ****ing hands.
That does it, we're moving back to California. The weather there is always perfect!

Fixed it for you!

That does it, we wanted to move back to California but cannot afford it. The weather there is always perfect but no matter what the weather is like, its too bloody expensive!

I just spent a few days with a friend who was originally from here but moved to California a few years ago. She loves it there - cost of living is crazy, but they're making do. Traffic is nuts, but they've learned ways around it. They've still got CDN citizenship so they can't vote and don't pay much attention to local politics. She got off the plane in Toronto to what would be considered fairly decent (though rainy) November weather, and was immediately miserable. As I prepare to put the 911 away yet again for another long cold snowy Ontario winter, I'm California dreaming...

BTW, that New Hampshire/Arizona story is very well known around these parts - it gets passed around every year, with heads nodding in agreement.
