How's that for bringing everything in this thread full circle?

I can think of a number of reasons to live there...sadly, I'm afraid the Arizona of my childhood is slipping away...

Hi Ali, hope you're doing well. I'll say hello to the citrus trees... and the bats for you.

Yuck Ted, the bats! Did I ever tell you about the time I lived there and a bat flew down and almost took my head off? So please, don't be cordial to them on my behalf

I keep waiting for Ted to send me a box of oranges, and he keeps not doing it. You can keep the bats.

Someone at the post office must be confiscating them. Maybe it's a ghost... A kilted ghost.

The last bit of Samhain (except for revivals of the rituals) left in America is the bonfire. But, this is limited to more rural areas where fire laws are less strict.

Well, coconuts don’t grow where I live, but our beaches are covered in white sand, and at Christmas time they are covered with people!
South of the Equator (and at the Equator) hot weather and Christmas go hand in hand. It’s your snow that is strange!
