No D-backs games for us this year, no AZ Fall League games, only two spring training games. I'm sure glad we didn't go to the one spring training game where everyone showed up and then were eventually told sorry, go home, game cancelled.

That's one reason, probably the main reason that Mrs.T and I stayed in Central Illinois when we retired. We looked at a lot of areas of the country but they all seemed to have their downside like excessive heat or cold, hurricanes, or some other natural problem. We ended up staying here because are 90+ days are limited to a handful and sub-0 days are limited, also. Are precip numbers are also passable. Flooding and blizzards happen but are dealt with pretty quick.
I do admit, though, that eastern Kentucky and Velo Vol and datlas 's areas had a certain draw for us for the beauty and the riding.
BTW, Mrs. T had a fire (gas) going yesterday .

Huh. Never heard of any in Vermont, but I don't have a current family registry.
I bet datlas could find some Arners if he poked around his area a bit. They spread out from SE PA.
That's kind of vague. Depending on the circumstances, definitely go to the nearby mountains.

The plan ATM is driving straight through to Greenville tomorrow, then splitting the return trip over Saturday/Sunday or Sunday/Monday. Knoxville has been floated as a possible overnight stop, but we're not totally sure yet.
I am hoping that we'll be able to visit nearby Mt. Mitchell.

Yes, accompanied with first frost warning of the season for tonight in SE WI. Will decide tonight which tender plants to bring indoors, in a questionable attempt to keep alive through winter.
First ride with full leg bibs was two days ago.

Looking back, sometimes I regret the decision and sometimes not. I probably would have made more money as an MD, but money ain't everything and I really enjoyed the path I wound up taking.

What!? I had 5 wks/yr the last 8 or so years of my career. Your job is way more stressful.
Plus at the time we had a very liberal sick leave and FMLA plan, which many people took advantage of. Not me, of course.

IKR?
Wife and I are actually heading out on a road trip tomorrow to the Greenville SC area.
Partly because it was our wedding anniversary this week, but mostly to see if we would want to move there next year. On paper it looks lovely, but we need to see it for ourselves before we fully commit.
The fact that it's close to peak fall colors and near Great Smoky Mountain NP gives me a pretty good feeling that we'll like it there
And FYI, we're acutely aware that this isn't the best time to be going out of state, but we both decided that as lovely as it would be to explore local shops and restaurants, we're going to do everything possible to minimize contact with people. No shopping. No sit-down restaurants. No bars. Masks on everywhere. etc.
