Welp.  The wife is starting to make noise about moving somewhere that has more than well...two seasons.  We'd have to go like 1,000 miles for that.  Seems like it would be a GIGANTIC pain in the ass.

Seasons are overrated.

For the British version, just replace Winter with the word rain.

Going over a shopping lesson this morning, start with expensive and cheap. Since it's a high level class, I expand on cheap and ask them "What does it mean if I say, she is cheap?"

Class captain shouts out "She's easy!"

My face was somewhere between and 

Defintely unusual for an english idiom like that to get thrown out there.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of seasons.  To be fair this part of Texas has OH MY GOD ITS HOT and fall/spring that kind of blend together, and she's from Michigan, so I could see why she would want to change things up a little there.  Dealing with snow and ice and all that other winter-like shit sucks though.

Is it not an issue job-wise?

Especially on a raleigh chopper.

No, that's an issue.  It would require finding new ones.  We both work for the state and not something a little more flexible, location-wise, like the feds.

Yep that was my first thought, does the guy not want anymore children?

Have you considered manipulating your state senate into declaring war on a nearby, but locationally more attractive state?

  I guess we could go west and conquer New Mexico.  They have mountains and snow there.
