great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach
their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned

I'm seeing what Owen is seeing - something that appears to be the Mac
Davis tribute to StoneHenge out there in the, uh, I guess you call it a
"yard", right? :-)

Of course it took some of us northern types a while to realize that wasn't
snow, but sand....

Looks like a brown grass yard, it's winter you know....

OH...
They call that a "cactus garden"..
Assorted types of cactus and volcanic rock, a few slabs of slate standing up and
ringed by "**** brick" set at an angle..

I'll dig up a picture from another angle..

Thanks, Lee...
Summers get warm... This year the hottest was a few days in the 103 - 105 range
with 65 - 70% humidity...
We monitor a web site for the water temp in the Sea of Cortez and for a lot of
the summer the water was around 90 to 94 degrees, warmer in the shallows..

Pretty much lower temps then we were used to in Fresno, CA but much higher
humidity..
The good news is that we went to a 65 year old home with original insulation and
an old roof-top AC unit to a brand now, super insulated home with 4 mini-split
units and very inexpensive power costs..

Hey Mac... 105 is pretty warm to say the least. Here in
oklahoma it gets that hot at times also, but not the higher
humidity. Are you on the mexico side??

Have a good one... Lee

I think I know what you mean there, Lee.. we're across the Sea of Cortez from
mainland Mexico, not on the other coast of Baja, on the Pacific..

Humidity isn't my friend OR my outdoor tools...
I learned all about "relative temperature" or "feels like" this summer when my
wife got my a little weather station thing..
Some days the "feels like" temp was in the 120's, even though the "real" temp
was maybe 101..
So, if I looked at the thing in the shop and it said that it was 88 on the work
bench and 120 in the carport, I worked inside that day..lol

Oklahoma either...

Don't you live in a cinder block construction or cast concrete house?
That's what I seem to recall from the pictures. I can see the basic
structure standing up, but in a bad blow you might lose your roof
(depending upon construction) or have flooding or water damage. What's
insurance like down south? Is it more expensive, and how hard is it to
collect on a claim?

I think it's more for glass and contents, but I'm not sure..

Insurance here, like most things, is less expensive.. We pay about $400 a year
for good coverage, bases on replacement value of $250k..

So far, we've talked to 3 folks with claims, 2 for burglary and one for fire,
and all were happy with payment and how long they had to wait..

That's the nature of insurance. I'm surprised how many people moan and groan
about how they pay those premiums and never get to file a claim. I always
write that check and send up a prayer asking Him to please let that be a
waste of money. If you have to file a claim, you lose. You never get back
to the break even point financially and there's the hassle factor you just
can't get reimbursed for either. Right now my son is wishing he bought
renter's insurance. He came home yesterday to find one of his guitars, 2
guns, Game Boy with games, CDs and DVDs, a check book, social security card,
and birth certificate missing. He'll have to miss work today at least and
I've got to take a day to help him fix the door and deal with the bank and
credit people. Who knows how much hassle he'll have down the road with
identity issues.
