A New York author once said: "The outdoors is something through which
I pass between my apartment and my car."

The same applies in Phoenix.

If you don't want to complain about the weather, move to Hawaii. They
don't even have weather forecasts on the TV because the weather is
exactly the same every day (the islands are surrounded by a one
trillion square mile heat sink). Or, you can do as I do.

Stay inside. With redundant air conditioning.

That sounds horrible! Why live in a place that you have to do that?


So that I don’t have to plow or shovel snow or drive to work on icy
roads, or live with chronic bronchitis throughout the winter, etc.

Unless you live in a climate like Hawaii, or simply like to freeze or
burn, you avoid the seasons you don’t like and enjoy the ones you do.
Part of that is living where you find most of what you like.


I don't freeze or burn where I live. Unless I drive into the mountains
or over them.

I do rust a bit.


Sorta like the Tin Man? Better carry an oil can.
