Are the nights cool? That is why you do not have evap or air conditioning?
I have been down to Tombstone, Arizona, and absolutely love it there. Most have no air, and only use evap during the day. Beautiful climate, much nicer than metro-Phoenix. Although, don't get me wrong, I love the climate here too. It's just the population explosion that is driving me nuts. Phoenix is now the fastest growing city in the United States. Ugggg! :(
When I moved out here 10 years ago, I could drive 11 miles from interstate 10 to my house, with a scattering of farm houses here and there, a pleasant drive on a 2 lane country road. Now there are subdivisions all the way up and down that stretch. Coffeeshops, Grocery Stores, Walmart, Gas Stations. It hardly seems possible that it happened as quickly as it did. I'm thinking move to Tombstone when you retire, but I fear by then it will be just as bad there as it is here now. They do get one snow a year. Do you think that is enough to keep people from moving there ;)
Chat with you later,
Alan
