Ed,
I bought a house in Andover and arrived with my U-Haul and cars at
1:00 A.M. the night after the great Halloween Blizzard of 1991. I had
to shovel snow until about 3:00 A.M. just to get the truck off the
street and another 2 hours to get the cars in the other driveway.
About sunup I collapsed on the living room floor and slept while my
wife and kids Got all the small stuff out of the cars and truck.
There is snow and there is way too much snow at the wrong time. Iowa
was like an ice sculpture wonderland that night, but could there have
possibly been a worse time to pull up to a new house after a 2,000
mile drive??

Bill, stories like the above are adventures when you are young, but
they are sheer misery when you are old. It seems I have spent most of
my life cursing this g.d. Minnesota weather. I dream of tropical
climates where it is always about 85 degrees in the shade and no
freaking wind at all.

Well, why the **** don't you move?

Jesus.

Ever heard of Florida?

Christ Almighty!

Ever hear of 'commitments'? If not, then look it up the word in a
dictionary. I means that you can't move because of obligations. I am
tied to property, but most folks are tied to family. What is the matter
with you that you can't understand this? Are you an idiot or only
pretending to be one?

"Tied to property"... Hmmmm... Yeah, I guess property can't be managed
remotely, or managed by some hired help, or....

Whatever.

Quit whining about the weather, then. Move if you don't like it.
