<<NM is incredible. I would love to move there, but I worry about "not enough" water. >> I have a friend who runs the D.H. Lawrance Ranch outside of Taos. The Rio Grande runs right through town but all the water in it belongs to Texas. His son lives in a very nice neighborhood in Albuquerque and the yards are gravel with tiny squares of grass for accents. Try Vegas, they seem to have plenty of water this year.

jp: "A sunny day every couple of weeks is plenty." A sunny day every couple of weeks is plenty. A sunny day every couple of weeks is plenty. Hmmm. At first I was a little alarmed, and going to scream at you, but really, that's just built up hostility. About our weather. I agree with you and Mel that a gentle overcast is a great way to view a day. The Japanese thought that; kind of lived for those days. Photographers do. Rhododendron fanciers do. Flower growers. Landscapers. If it's not raining all the time. Or socked in constantly. That's the problem here; it's not overcast, it's raining. Getting muddy. Rotting everything. Growing mold. Peeling paint. Caving decks. Destroying roofs. Making driving at night a constant battle against headlights, puddles, and wipers. Slicks. Floods. Wet clothes. Wet floors. Mud tracks. Spotted glasses. Wet hair. Everything carried gets wet. Find me an overcast place that's comparatively warm, and I'm there. Port Townshend WA is in the rain shadow of the Olympic Range. It's comparatively dry. Now THAT, would be cool. I'll see if I can find the rain inches. It's also a town filled with cool stuff, like wooden boat-builders and craft industries. But such a climate is FAR the exception here. The weather there is moderate, which it is not, in drier Eastern Washington. There's a lot of water in AZ and NM, because of the mountains that catch the snow and rain. ("Sky scrapers.") I have no idea why I'm writing this. Maybe it's that quest for a right place. It might take two.
