Maps, they’re more than navigational.

Ever wonder how livable your climate is?

Wonder no more.

I was once written up for stepping off a boat onto a pier with a beer in my hand. Thankfully the officer was an idiot who put two different dates on the ticket and it was thrown out of court.

Maine does have a lot of older retirees so I won’t argue with this one.

I’ll blame our broken ankles on ice and slippery snow.

Uh, Mark… do we need to stage an intervention?

Guess I can thank Stephen King for ours.

This is crazy. I don’t know how young people just starting out do it. Our first home cost $45,000, at a time when my husband’s annual salary was $35,000. The numbers are much farther apart now…

😥

    1. We don’t need spiked cheese. With Milwaukee as the historic beer capital of the western hemisphere and the state drinking more than half of the total production of Korbel brandy, we can take our cheese straight…except for Port wine cheese spread.

  7. California tracks on all of these except for the “death” heat index: motor vehicle accidents, ballot propositions every elections, and the high cost of housing. The heat is only inland, and most Californians live at the coast. I mean, we’ve not even broken 80 degrees at my house yet this summer; my sister in DC gets really huffy when I whine about 70% humidity and 78 degrees.

      4. We used to laugh when I’d tell someone it was 120 degrees and they’d say “But it’s a dry heat!” That was really common. It’s so hot you feel like you’re in an oven and can’t breathe.

  9. I live in Death… but my city just approved some public drinking* and marajuana use at some events.

    *I remember hearing of someone getting ticketed for stepping from their yard to the sidewalk with a cocktail in hand. I think it was over in Huntington Beach, which has turned into a super uptight city.

  10. I get the driving issue in California and Arizona. I’m terrified to be on the road in either state! Our first house was $75,000 and we made that much with both our incomes. I don’t see how young people today can afford homes.

      1. It’s sad. I think this will be the first generation who don’t do better than their parents. I’m talking about my kids. My daughter and son live in the Bay Area. My daughter is in a 400 square foot studio for $1700 a month. My son and his wife pay $4,500 in rent for a three level loft with one bedroom. It’s in the middle of a horrible neighborhood. He said a nice neighborhood it would be $7,500 a month. I don’t know how they afford rent!

  11. We went to a wedding in Utah at a private country club and each guest was allowed 4 ounces of champagne and that was it. They thought that was quite progressive. But boy did they smoke up a storm. Death has pretty nice weather actually – I’ve lived in Inhabitable and No – the winters are brutal and the summers are hellish. So I’ll take Death!
