In other news, there was a water main break down near Georgia Tech, we're told (I blame them) and we have no water.  "We" are rather dependent on an easy supply of sanitary running water in our lives.

As for city life, it's obviously to my liking here.  But I'm pretty flexible, I used to spend summers on a farm in the country, and mostly have lived in the 'burbs in my life time.  I have still spent more years in Ohio than any other state, but that will change, hopefully, in another decade or so.  Maybe that two decades.

Huh.

I can appreciate how big a different rural electrification meant in the lives of so many.  Aside from lights, you could now have running water and an electric stove.

The early parts of my Dad's life were hardly different from a person living 200 years ago.

Coming from a small town/rural to Columbus was a difficult transition but I'm pretty into it now.

That happened at UCLA a few years back.

That's because everyone in Cali has walls around their houses. Doesn't exactly promote neighborly exchanges.
I think this is a western thing.  Maybe having to do with the winds and dry ground maybe?  It's something I noticed moving to Phoenix and visiting a friend in Vegas. 

Back in FL, only the super-nice houses are walled in.

The CFB HoF is slated to reopen July 1 incidentally.
I should get a job there.

The tour is interesting, very "computerized".  The wife enjoyed it.

In other news, the water is back on, looking rather brown in places.  A fairly serious storm came up and I watched some park goers scrambling for cover along with folks at the bar next door.

I had forgotten how fast these summer storms can materialize.

I miss rain.  Monsoon season has begun, but the last few years, it's been all over the place.  

Much as certain places lack seasons, it's the same effect that some places almost never rain and it just feels weird.  Mundane, no variety.  It's either real hot or damn hot here.  Dry.  Hot.

But it's a dry heat.  How many times have we heard that?

We never say (much) It's a damp cold.  I dislike the damp cold, those 36°F days when it's overcast and humid and windy.

imo, being a dirt farmer from a city less than 100,000

no sense in trying to live  in a big city - no upside

We're not getting any monsoons. I think that it has rained once since I moved here in late March.

We're in "June Gloom." 

One of my favorite times of year , though, because it's not too hot .

I thought that Cali said that walls were racist?
