IT'S GETTING HOT!

Now as the temperatures are rising here in the valley of the sun I'm starting to get that reminder of why I like to travel away from here during the summer. Am I too young to be a snowbird? I've got a few of the qualifications: I golf, my neighborhood looks like an old folks community,....well that's all I can come up with. Still I think that it would be lovely to go settle into a small town in Colorado for the summer and come back here when it's nice again. The problems that turn me off from pursuing the snowbird life style are that I'd probably start driving really slow, I'd fill up all the doctors offices and the hospitals, I'd have to make it to the restaurants for the early bird special, I'd eat less (but I could pay less!), I'd have to start complaining at the bank and the grocery store, and I'd have to learn to drive an RV. Hey, I'll just stay here for the summer to get a vacation from all the snowbirds! Good bye snowbirds! Don't let the high gas prices keep you from driving those RVs home!!!

(No snowbirds were hurt in the making of this post. If you are a nice snowbird, then don't include yourself in the blame for the general snowbird population.)
