I'd choose Hawaii, which I'm told is relatively temperate compared to most other places. You have to put up with the occasional typhoon, though.Mark R Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685591390353442531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467533615728239939.post-61433421379693032222012-04-08T01:11:11.470-04:002012-04-08T01:11:11.470-04:00It gives us something to talk about -- and most of...It gives us something to talk about -- and most of us are more interested than we'd care to admit!Mark R Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685591390353442531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467533615728239939.post-19871586656670693772012-04-08T01:10:45.452-04:002012-04-08T01:10:45.452-04:00I think it's something we all have in common. ...I think it's something we all have in common.

Wow.

It got so bad that Time Magazine ran a cover story -- I believe it was in 1985 -- questioning whether a new ice age might be on the way.<br /><br />Or at least, that was my memory: I just ran a web search and discovered a few Time covers of that nature, all from the 70's:<br />http://extraordinaryintelligence.com/files/2011/05/time-magazine-ice-age-global-warming.gif<br /><br />I don't think I'd whine in Hawaii, though, if only because of all the years I've experienced here. It's the same reason why I don't complain much during our heat waves.Mark R Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685591390353442531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467533615728239939.post-71118486950251024332012-04-07T15:38:34.406-04:002012-04-07T15:38:34.406-04:00I don't like the heat or cold!

Wow, what a great memory! <br />Trust me, you would whine in Hawaii, because I came here to be warm and when the temps hit under 70 I'm definitely whining.
