my friend just told me it was -30 in Chicago :-o
My poor cousins in Chicago. No wonder they sound ticked-off over the phone.

Where did you move to? I'm assuming you did not move back to California because of the temperatures you just mentioned. Yes, Chicago does get very very very cold during the winter. I know this, because I grew up in Milwaukee from the age of 4 til I was 21, and Milwaukee is only about an hour north of Chicago. Too fucking cold for me!!!

Basement here none (ASL grammar :roll.
something else i've also noticed between milwaukee and tucson is that tucson doesn't have alot of apartments with indoor lobbies in them. instead, they have apartment complexes with doors that lead directly to an outdoor patio.
That's how it is here. My apartment door leads directly to outside, and I like it that way. I also have a patio as well. So I have a total of 3 apartment doors that lead directly to outside.
I've noticed that in the south, nobody has a basement. They seem to exist only in the north. I noticed that while growing up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and making frequent visits to Arkansas (averaging between 4 to 6 times a year) and a brief stay in an apartment in Florida when I was 7 years old (my late mom had separated from my dad for a brief period of time when I was that age and took me and my sister to Tampa) that no one had a basement. Why is that? I wonder.

some homes in tucson also have large cement gates surrounding them due to snakes. :Ohno:
shel,
alot of the homes in tucson that had cement gates around them were in the U of A neighbhorhood.
however, i didn't notice this in the extreme outer limits of the city.
Then snakes are probably very rare in that area...too many buildings and people.

You know what really stinks about living down here, besides Cat 5 canes, is the very, very ,very high cost of living. Property Taxes, for example, are through the roof. Not funny.
My brother and I are thinking off moving west - Arizona, maybe.
Its almost like running around naked in the snow!![]()
c'mon guys.
for all of you who are afraid of the cold, where's your sense of adventure?
as we like to say here in the midwest, cold weather builds character!
<like i'm one to talk. LOL!>
good. that's where i'm going to live then.![]()
