to all the deserters out there…

Jan 26, 2019

You know this is meant for you if you have MOVED AWAY from a location with a cold winter season, (like Crothersville, Uniontown, or Seymour, Indiana) to another place with a warm climate. You are a deserter and you’re missing THIS:

Again (for the bajillionth time) I LOVE snow. What I despise is freezing cold and windy.  I also deplore so-cold-your-face-freezes weather — like what is supposed to roll in here next week (-30°F windchill — high in negative digits).

Thinking about deserters made me wonder why people stay in cold US climates . Poll results at https://city-data.com provided answers and none mentioned cost of living.

The TOP THREE main reason are:

  1. I like the 4 distinct seasons (54%)
  2. My family is here (24%)
  3. I don’t like the politics in the south (22%)

If you’re a deserter, at least one of the following reasons will describe you:

  1. You fear change
  2. You love yourself more than you love your family and your cold heart is happiest without being brought down by parents, children or siblings
  3. You are a Republican
