I live in a part of the Midwest where the heat is nasty, the humidity just sucks the life right out of you. I don't know if it's global warming or old age, but every summer it seems worse. I HATE it.
After I get this pesky divorce business out of the way, I'm thinking of pulling up stakes...just start over fresh somewheres else, not sure where.
I don't want to move back to New England, my soon-to-be-ex is from Boston so the accent on the natives would drive me crazy (or crazier, if you prefer). Besides, when I lived there everyone made fun of my "Southern" accent when in reality I HAVE no accent, while their accent is quite pronounced. It was kind of funny, one day in an ice cream parlor the kid behind the counter asked me if I wanted jimmies on my sundae. I said, do I want WHAT on my sundae? The guy says, kind of rudely, "Jimmies! Do you want jimmies or not!" and
I snapped back, "What the hell are jimmies!" Now the other customers are grinning like I'm a moron, so when the kid points to them I said haughtily, "Excuse me, but those are SPRINKLES. AND I DON'T WANT ANY SPRINKLES." For heaven's sake.Ramble, ramble...so forget New England. Also forget California, the cost of living is appalling and you can't smoke anywhere...maybe the Gulf Coast would be nice. I'd like to go SOMEwhere.
