That storm predicated the wife and I to ask ourselves a question after it destroyed our neighborhood, no power for 8 days.
We can live anywhere we want in the US. We don't have kids, our jobs were transferrable.
What the hell are we doing in Buffalo NY. A couple of months later we moved to beautiful San Diego, now Idaho. Way milder in the valley west of Boise.
I said I wouldn't move back to Buffalo out of spite. As I get older, never say never, but I really like it out West.
