That's....semi-fortunate? Having to move twice in about a year is not even on my long list of fun things to do. I wish you well.

Have you been to Oklahoma in the summer? Pretty sure you would jump at the opportunity to get out of there too.Quote:

Not really into the idea of not accessing 50% of the land 8-9 months out of the year. The other times, it was raining when we came out and I didn’t have issues when I was walking it. A lot of intangible reasons too. My wife was in the ICU with epiglottitis a few weeks ago and the lack of family/friends support was a burden unlike any others we have had, especially with 3 kids 5 and under.
At any rate, we are eating crow and coming back to CO. May be there a year. Maybe til we are old. Who knows. But it’s a known. The area is a known, the work place is a known. It’s a sensible reset.
Yes. My first wife's family is in Tulsa. I can remember driving to visit and not noticing anything until I got out of the car. Humidity hits you in the face and you see the condensation that was on the outside while you had the AC running.Quote:

Having traveled around to a lot of the Eastern part of this state, I've found that in a lot of places with that "small town vibe" where people have more freedom to be themselves and do what they want, are also usually trashy shitholes, which is unfortunate.Quote:

Occasionally I get tricked into watching these recovery videos. This guy took a 2wd Hyundai Tuscon down a jeep trail.

That was an epic mullet!
