You have a choice of nearly every climate.<br /><br />Much as I loved some of the northern areas, it's one reason we prefer to stay south. We get cold weather, but it's brief.<br /><br />--though as I say that I find we are in the midst of freak snow. It's beautiful, but it can go now.

I can go without food, water, power and heat--but don't take away my toilet. That's inhuman.

LOL...<br /><br />What I missed most? Having a toilet to use. Our well pump is powered with electricity, so we had to haul water by the bucketload from the creek out back (about 100 yards from the house) on ice-slicked ground. <br /><br />I decided I'd rather lose power in the winter than the summer, though -- we had an instant refrigerator outside. Our neighbors complained about losing the food in their fridge, and I asked them why they didn't just put it outside. <br /><br />They didn't think of it.<br /><br />*sigh*<br /><br />Anyway, good advice, all, though we do use candles for light for the most part.<br /><br />Hope the knee surgery helps you!Marianne Arkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934613403368823760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-2785309799739330952010-02-11T07:51:59.706-06:002010-02-11T07:51:59.706-06:00You know that I'm so happy to hear about your ...You <b>know</b> that I'm so happy to hear about your writing blitz. And I hope to hear more about your writing blitz as well, if you know what I mean. ;)<br /><br />We have the occasional outage but with the kind of weather where you can sleep out in the open with no problems, except for hungry mosquitoes at dusk and dawn, we don't face the kind of problems North America is facing right now. Hope everyone's taking care of themselves.
