Spent a week out there a few years back and fell in love with it. As far as 115 degree temps? That's why they have air conditioning. LOL You play golf early in the morning or in the evening to keep from getting fried. I found it amusing they keep the grocery stores open until like midnight so people can shop when it's cooler. I like the fact they have 320 days of sunshine per year. Besides, there's none of that nasty humidity to deal with. Its just too damn hot. Its even too hot to use your pool most days. Why spend 300K for a beautiful ranch home with a pool and not be able to use it because its too hot? LOL I go to spring training and get my fill of AZ Quote

I keep hearing that people want to reture to Tennessee or North Carolina I dont get it. What is there to do in TN , outside of Nashville? NC has some of the worst weather in the country. Hugely overrated state. Quote

Tanka Jahari Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I keep thinking I might retire to California. That's where Hi-Pod endzone cameras are based out of. I was thinking I could maybe get a part-time job with Hi-Pod to supplement my retirement savings. 3 Quote

LOL The one thing bad about Tucson is that personal crime is high. Lots of break in's if you don't live in a gated community. I'm looking at property in the foothills. Not quite as hot as on the valley floor. They do get more snow there (foothills) in the "winter", but that's okay. A few weeks a year isn't that bad considering I've lived in the Aleutian Islands and in Iceland so I think I can deal with a few inches for a few weeks. LOL Quote

Do it like many Wisconsinites and Minnesotans have for years....waterfront up here from May to November....down south in Florida/Georgia/Arizona from November to May. people in Indiana like to say they like the winter until they have to deal with snow in April, daily highs that are in the negatives and shoveling snow as a ritual morning routine. Lol. Shoot this past winter my brother was complaining about how there was the really cold day of -22 windchill....I had to tell him that it was -24 degrees actual temp and the wind chill was -55....and I still had to go work on a new home being built. trust me. Summer home up here on a lake. Low humidity...70s 80s. Then book it south for winter and stay above 30 Edited October 22, 2019 by DumfriesYMCA Quote

Screagle Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I think Gibson Southern in 3A. Have to get thru two teams that controlled them for a total of 92 minutes out of 96 but the potential is there. 1 Quote

Don't know if I could switch from the B1G to the PAC- 12 though. 2 minutes ago, hhpatriot04 said: Is Central still leading the SIAC in penalty yards this season? Good question. Quote

In years past when they had a losing record in SAC due to L's to the conference bigs they were somewhat competitive. This year they had (0) points against the big 4 in the conference; Carroll, Snider, Homestead & Dwenger. I just don't think they have much of any talent this year to make run past sectional this year. I'll be pulling for them though !! Quote

BLKnights7 Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 How about East Noble in 4a that no one seems to talk about ever. That's a scary team in Kendallville...As for my Luers knights it's gonna be though winning sectional. Never count a bad record Luers team down and out though. 2 Quote
