Congratulations, I'm only 66.

We have 4 seasons a year in middle TN, but my DD C6 gets out approximately 364-365 days of the year. High temp. today was 56°, but now it's getting cooler.

Blah. You're right man. It does take cajones. Did you move out there for work, or just had had enough of life (or lack thereof) in the Midwest? Is California better or worse than everyone says?

Everything-period, I was 20 at the time and did not want to freeze my a$$ off anymore, I had no job, just came out, got place to live! Life is short and shorter for others... I am not into snow and ice, I love the warm sunny days, driving to the beach all year around.

It just dropped almost ten degrees here in an hour. The news also said something about snow a little later today. No fun for me today...
