Sorry, I went to bed, it was 1am, No we just cant afford an =
aicoditioner. The nights are really hot, about 25 degrees Celsius.
but we only have another 2-3 months of hot weather before the rains =
arrive.
We live in a relatively quiet area. it takes at least 40 minutes to hit =
real population. The first town on the way to Perth is Muchea (one =
general store come post office) about 20 minutes away, then Wanneroo =
another 20 minutes, then you are into the suburbs with another 20-30 =
minutes into the city depending on traffic.
 We are nearly out of water and will have to get a few truckloads on the =
weekend.

  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,
