haha said:I'm in the I hate humidity crowd. Then why am I in Seattle? Well, in warm weather our humidity levels are almost always comfortable. It is humid all winter of course- it is often actively raining. But this is not a bother for me or most other people. But the high heat, high humidity found in much of the East is very rare here.
To me, for pure climate, it would be hard to beat the East slopes of the Sierra Nevada, (West slopes are great too!)the area around Reno NV, parts of NM, much of Sonora, MX. If I ever move, not for family, it will be to Reno. In Reno you are an easy bus ride to San Francisco for a high grade big city fix, and for the size of the town Reno offers a lot. Sitting in the Cal- Neva betting baseball will while away some very pleasant afternoons and evenings. And football season? Blessed be football season in NV. Summers and Fall are delightful, and winter and spring not half bad
Ha
Mulligan said:Betting at the Cal Neva in downtown Reno? Ha, you are definitely "old school" They have the best lines though by far in my book. On rare occasions when flights are as cheap there as to Vegas, I go to Reno as the sports books aren't nearly as crowded. I don't know if I could handle the Reno windy cold days, though to live there. My goal is to move out to NV in 10 years, but if my goal is to bring my GF with me, it will probably have to be AZ. I still haven't given up on a 55 and over community in Mesquite NV as a compromise.

Mulligan said:Lisa, your my kind of gal! Unfortunately my lady has in her mind if we lived in Nevada, I would drink my morning Joe, read the paper, and then head off to the nearest sports book and not return home until the last game of the day I could possibly bet on was over. She thinks AZ would serve as a buffer to my ability to do this. I personally think I would have some restraint. Since I am a pensioner the income tax savings would be probably over $3-4k a year. It has fell on deaf ears so far, but I still got time to wear her down
I am such a downscale person, the Cal-neva fits me to a tee. My first Nevada betting was at the old El Cortez in downtown Las Vegas in the mid-60s, but since the early 70s I am happiest in Reno at the Cal-Neva. Their parley cards can offer some good bets in the early college football season too. As you know, they are all over. I'd like to get one of my sons interested in going there, or even Vegas, for the NCAA. I have never really defeated my lonely feelings I get when I go alone, so I haven't gone since my brother found love and stopped going out there. My other friend from SF who went there with me died.Betting at the Cal Neva in downtown Reno? Ha, you are definitely "old school" They have the best lines though by far in my book.
