Kadizzle stays in touch with some friends back in the arctic, North Dakota that is. Shanika called to say every road in the state was closed. Honest Omar is holed up in his house, and a few of the smart ones like Dina escaped.
The Kadizzles have turned into cakes. We now believe 30 degrees is cold. Kadizzle can remember going to the hardware store back in Hazen when the wind chill was 125 degrees below zero. Kadizzle needed a 2x4 for some reason. At the hardware store Kadizzle could not tie the piece of lumber on the car because his fingers would freeze so badly and so quickly.
Twice when we returned to North Dakota in the spring the sewer line six feet under the ground was frozen. It was not unusual for the ground to freeze six feet deep in North Dakota.
In our new home they don't even insulate the pipes in the crawl space. Almost everyday it warms up so we can be comfortable sitting in the sun. Worst case scenario we can drive down to the Earth Module at the lake and gain ten or fifteen degrees. We are spoiled.
Arizona, vs Florida. Arizona has mountains, various terrain, and plenty of variety. Florida has a flat boring plain, with terrible storms. Arizona has some flash flooding, but no real weather threats like Florida. Florida has little appeal to hard core outdoor enthusiast. Arizona has all sorts of recreational challenges. Both states are plagued with right wing infestations of Hoopleheads. Both state have way to many old goats. Florida has Trump, and Arizona has little Trumpets that want to be as obnoxious as him.
