My malamutt passed away before I returned to the tropics.
I have never heard a complaint of "Can't wait until I get old and all this joint pain disappears!"
"**** it's 80 out and the roads are slippery with yellow sunlight!"
"Where's the sun shovel?"
"Think I'll wander out to the garden and select fruits for breakfast. Where's the ice-pick?"
"Oooooooo I much prefer lugging a 40 pound dirty clothes hamper to the washing machine"
"Dang! Another twenty bucks to the tanning parlor!"
"Don't you guys carry anything more than tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, carrots, and cabbage?"
"Another eight dollars? Boy am I going to lay into the swim club, after I chain up!"
Grocer..........."hahahahahahahahahahaha............fresh fish...........hahahahahahahahaha!"
The little "village" where I live. Children play without adult supervision. My granddaughters wander about unsupervised. This isn't a valid climate point.
If I wanted to hole-up somewhere indoors, for months on end, I'd rob a bank... bars.....schmars.......
Laying in a hammock, palm trees swaying in the trade winds. Sipping a mango, papaya, banana, milkshake....
Ever since NOOK and KINDLE e-readers appeared, there is no lack of reading material which to me was "The Great Negative" of Mexico. The internet allows me to conduct online banking (No, I do not trust the Mexican economy) and accessing the ATMs eliminated another PITA, rushing to then waiting inside a bank to get pesos.
Here I am 80 miles from the border in my medical hideaway.

Snow? Are you kidding? Winter lows may sag into the forties at dawn.
Snow and office politiks are for young people.
No more "It's summer! Let's load up the car and go somewhere"
Here where my butt is plunked is "Somewhere".
And god forbid no more "authentic" 12 dollar plates of bland AmeriMex food swimming in a pound of melted Monterey Jack.
