You see I could have gone on but I didn't want to scare you.
We have that high altitude here so when you come you might get altitude sickness and have to leave anyway. Abq is at 5,000 ft and Santa Fe is at 7,000. We also have that nasty chupacabra monster to worry about and I here tell those space aliens who crashed in Roswell all those years ago, well their relations are coming to exact revenge on the New Mexicans for abusing them. Yes those winds in the summer are something we all fear. They blow everything from the desert and mountains into town and even if you never had allergies in your life I can guarantee in a couple years you will be miserable with them and if you have them now you will be dependent on inhalers to live. Also, folks love to drive intoxicated here. Just one Friday night outing and next stop is the morgue for you.
I'll stop here cause I don't want to really scare you with the serious stuff.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero

Thanked: 5Originally Posted by Nix
@Nix thanks for the slapI was being a little lazy.
but then I have a lot to do before the shipping company get here.
I'm sort of astonished by the negative reponses but I guess this is normal, I'd discourage anyone from moving to Dublin - but if you did you'd probably love it.
In the summer your gonna die of the heat and in the winter freeze your butt off.
Err, oddly a summer peak average of 90°F doesn't worry me (hotter in Spain last year on holiday), neither does an average low of 23°F (we hit 3°F here in Dublin last year)
Bears seem to be a problem all over, can't speak about mountain cats. @thebigspendur I'm wondering why you stay
Thanks all

Tea! Great point. It can be hard to find good tea in the states. Sometimes you can find a specialty shop that sells good teas. For daily use I order tea from Murchies. Start every day off with a pot of Irish Breakfast brewed from their loose tea. I have no idea if it has anything to do with Ireland, but it's a great first cuppa.

I think I reacted a little too strongly to negative comments that were probably meant to be humorous.

I wish I could move from this place but it's such an impoverished state real estate is so low I couldn't afford to move anywhere if I was able to sell my house. Also in late June through July it's 100F every day sometimes higher and winter here is really at night. It's routinely in the low 20s and teens at night in January.
I hope you realize we're all pulling your chain here. It's really a wonderful place you'll love it.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero
