[Supras] Free supra parts in Southern Maryland

Wed Apr 23 09:50:39 CDT 2008

Another vote for cooler/milder climes.

I lived my first 22 years in Rochester, NY -- about an hour east of Buffalo,
right on Lake Ontario.  Winters were BRUTAL.  I mean, BRUTAL, with all that
lake effect snow.

Then I spent 8 years in Raleigh-Durham, NC.  Flat-out gorgeous, moderate
climate, no snow in wintertime except for maybe 2-3 days a year, and not to
hot in summer.

Now I've spent the past 5-1/2 years in Austin, TX.  It is just ***too damn
hot*** here.  It hits the 90s in April.  And routinely hits upper 90s and
low 100s for months at a time, with moderate (albeit not extreme) humidity.
It's unbearable sometimes.  Texans claim that "you get acclimated to it,"
but all they mean by that is that you learn to huddle indoors in the A/C.  A
Saturday in late July in the afternoon --- the tennis courts and etc. will
be ABSOLUTELY EMPTY.  You just can't do ANYTHING outside in Austin from late
June through early October.

If I did have such a good job with Dell and wasn't saddled with a big
mortgage on a 104-year old Victorian money pit of a house, I'd flee back to
NC or perhaps the PacNW in a heartbeat.
