only 23% of ENTIRE West not in drought

[dixiegrrrrl]

32. oooops....thanks for asking, I did a typo.

Zero intention of leaving.

For many decades the glory of Washington State was a secret from the rest of the country.

Now Alabama is..actually, a lot of the 4 middle Southern states.
low population, the 4 biggest cities have about 250 K people each and the rest is rural, spread out , lots and lots of green trees and rivers, plus it has 4 different climate zones. Fall in the South is glorious...lots of sun, nice temps, lovely colors.
Plus very inexpensive housing compared to the West and east Coast, and people over 65, or disabled, pay no property taxes on their primary house and land.
You can sight see all sorts of amazing things, or be within a decent drive of Memphis or "Hotlanta" or other neat places, or just meander around your own lil town, as I do.
Big secret about the South..lots of really smart progressive people live and work here, we just hide under the Gomer Pyle stereotype.

Shhhhhhhhhhh.
