There are real estate adds in the back of Mother Earth

And water. Isn't water getting less? Los Angeles, or

It's true in some parts.
Because of drought, Albuquerque looks about to be needing to start using
treated river water for city water instead of ground or reservoir. People
downstream are not going to like that, because the Rio Grande is argued over
all the time. Most of what we use will go back in, but some will evaporate
away.
It rained hard yesterday for an hour or more. Two hours later, there were
some wet places on the ground (not puddles, and not mud, but wet). Other
parts of the yard, where there was no roof runoff or collection, we could
still kick the ground and it was dry. Not as dry as if nothing had happened,
but still dusty dry.
Ground that was set up for plants did collect water for them, and that was
great.
Some people can't handle coming to such a dry place. There are whole new
tricks to learn. Don't make sandwiches in advance unless you're coving them
immediately. Putting bread in a bag might not keep it moist if you don't
take most of the air out of the bag too.
But ticks are rare where I am and where I've lived. If you have a barn full
of hay or live in wet woods (also rare) you might get them. I pulled dozens
of ticks out of cats' ears when we got barn-kittens a couple of years ago.
We might find one on the dog once in a while if we've been to the mountains
for a few days.
No earthquakes or volcanos expected. No hurricanes. <g> No tornados except
in SE New Mexico, pretty much (Carlsbad, Roswell, Hobbs), and they're rare
there.

The more you write Shyrley, the more I see the Alaskan in you!!! Sheesh, are
you crazy? LOL
It's very dry in the interior (Fairbanks area) in the summer...I mean DRY.
Winters are very cold, very dry and very long.
In the summer you have light all night and enough of it to grow really
humongous things in your garden.
Let's see.....
There is at least one unschooler at unschooling.com (she's in Wasilla though,
where it rains a lot) and my sis who is a relaxed homeschooler is moving
there in June.
A lot of hippy/eclectic types are drawn to Alaska, I love it for that.
Outdoor adventure types love it there too.
The winters down by Wasilla and Anchorage are milder (cold wise. 40 below
would be rare) and less snow. Rainier too. But absolutely breathtaking
mountains surround you.
Um, lots of military goings on.
Elmendorf AFB, Eilson AFB and Ft. Wainright are the ones I know of...but
there are others.
There is public transportation in Fairbanks and Anchorage for sure, not too
sure about Wasilla.
Cheap housing? Not a chance.
But again, no taxes hardly and they give you that permanent fund money every
year.
The wages are also really much better up there.
I think you have some Alaska blood mixed in with that English!!

There was barely any rain this winter/spring season.
The ski resort in Flagstaff, AZ was only open for 3 days this year - not
enough snow!
I don't think our overall water supply is in danger, but they're starting a
rationing system now for watering your yard (odd and even days.) But, I
think with a good rainy season, like we do get sometimes, we'll be in better
shape.
AZ is getting quite populated, too.
Last census showed the population at 5.1 million and 3 million just in the
Phoenix and surrounding area.
That's compared to 1.8 million in all of New Mexico.
There's always construction going on, freeway's being built, and even light
rail in the future.
The weather is beautiful for a large part of the year, but the summers are
very intense.
I do appreciate the monsoon/rainy season in the summer, though.
The humidity level is usually very dry, but does go up slightly in the
summer. It's not bad, though, compared to other really humid places.
Northern Arizona, like Flagstaff, is a nice escape in the summer with high's
usually in the 80's.
Here in Phoenix, bugs are rare, at least for us.
No ticks, no mosquitos (unless you live near a water source), no biting
flies, etc.
We do have the occasional scorpion, though, and some spiders.
We also don't get earthquakes, hurricanes, or tornadoes. The weather is
almost always agreeable - except for those darn summers! I'm bracing
myself - it's just around the corner. Well actually, we've already got temps
in the 100's. I guess it's here!

ticks here! When we first moved here I had to have the kids strip down every
time they came in the house so I could search them for ticks. Ticks were
even found crawling on the inside walls of our house occasionally. The only
thing that would get rid of them was diazanon. YUCK!

about a year (makes keeping your socks and knickers up tricky:) Also some
of her antique wood furniture she brought out of England has cracked
because of the dryness. Nose bleeds, chapped lips....
But I still like dry rather than humidity.

And I just read yesterday in the National Parks Magazine, in an article about
the USS Arizona memorial in Peark Harbor that the National Park Service's
Submerged Resources Center is in Santa Fe.
Santa Fe isn't even on the Rio Grande. It's above any natural water. <g>
So goes government research.

unconfirmed, and I had also misspelled "Pearl" and "Peark" so I added more

Cool term from that article, though: biofouling
-----The survey expanded to include a study of the chemical environment of
the ship, including the layer of biofouling--marine organisms mixed with
products of corrosion--that covers it "like a thick scab," according to Dan
Lenihan, an archaeologist and veteran SRC diver who has worked on the project
since its inception.------
That's from National Parks, November/December 2001
("The Magazine of the National Parks Conservation Association" which my
in-laws get and give us with their other old magazines.)
