And you thought about losing weight? With three lunches a day?

I'd burn all the calories off with yakking.

Don't forget Arizona. Gorgeous, open state, with great weather (ok, it gets hot during the summer but not humid). NO natural disasters (except dust storms, which cause traffic to slow down at worst). Winters are a total blast. Cost of living is relatively low and real estate is reasonable as well.

Crime rate is a little high, but then I suspect it might be comparable to CA or FL.

Real estate is reasonable so long as you don't insist on living within 50 miles of a golf course.

USA Today agrees with you:

I hear you. I faced some issues with the a/c in my car sometime back in the months of May and June, and boy, was it a nightmare!
