After awhile my friends and relatives were unanimous in saying they didn't want to hear about the weather anymore. So I stopped.
This year, with the growth of social media and the television networks enthralled with the terrible winter in probably three-fourths of the nation, I resumed. You see the weather in Arizona this winter has been wonderful. At least for someone like me who got all the snow, ice and cold weather he ever wanted during my first 29 years in the Dakotas. (I spent one year living in South Dakota, all the rest were in Nor'-Dakota, as the natives sometimes call it.)
But watching the news last night with another couple of ice and snow storms bearing down on Atlanta and other parts of the Southeast unaccustomed to such brutal weather, I resolved to shut up again. Hold me to this, folks, I will not brag on our sunny days with temperatures in the 60's and 70's while most of the rest of my country is suffering.
So this is it. A photo I took the other day of the sky over our new home.
If you look carefully you can see a tiny wisp of cloud in the upper left corner. But that was it.
So I'll enjoy my paradisaical winter weather in silence. (But still with a big grin on my face.)
