Friend of mine was in Frisco last week for a national bicycle race at their velodrome. It was 105 in the day and 95 at night. That’s pretty rough for us Bay Area folk who are used to low to mid 50s at night during the summer time. I lived weather like that for 7 years in Missouri don’t think I could do it again.
Giving up the climate and convenience for so many things and places (beach, mountains, desert, etc.) is tough.
But I lived in the DFW area on and off for 3 years or so and I was able to do OK.
And California has made it crystal clear it doesn’t want me — hard work is punished and sloth and criminality rewarded.
There are now more people in the wagon than pulling it. I won’t pull any more.
