Key West, 1/5/15. 81*, light tropical breeze.
It's tough, but someone has to do it.
GFC & GW in paradise.
I lived with this kind of picture in Hawaii for nearly 30 years. And I have to say it was the most boring environment I've ever experienced. I love weather. It makes one feel alive. While I enjoy the occasional sunny day, if I never experience one again that will be fine. I love rain, overcast, snow, wind (except when I'm flying or boating), storms, all that sort of stuff. It's exciting.
I liked my job in Hawaii, it paid extremely well, and I liked the people I worked with (commercial television production). But by 1979 I simply couldn't take the staggeringly boring, unchanging weather any more and I moved to where I live now.
The job I've had for the last bunch of years takes us all over the world. We're currently working in Taipei for the next couple of weeks. But while I've seen a lot of fascinating places and had a lot of unique experiences, there is nothing I've seen yet that can even hold a candle to the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, and southeast Alaska.
I see a picture like the one posted above and I simply feel sorry for the people who are stuck in that sort of place. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, and I'll never have to go back, thank God.
