I was watching a show that posed this question to their viewers. I always felt I had the answer but this week it left me in a quandary. When did my views change and why was I not aware of it until this moment in time?
I suppose it had a lot to do with hurricane Dorian and tropical storm Imelda. You see, I have NEVER liked the beach, while there are beautiful places year around in the Carribean as well as the Mayan Riviera my respect for Mother Nature and fear of her wrath has been solidified this past couple of weeks.
I have several friends and acquaintances that have gone through not one but MULTIPLE tropical storms, hurricanes, had their lives turned upside down after being flooded yet choose to remain in their homes. Maybe I am hardheaded but I just do not understand that rationale.
Then I go back to what I would have replied as far back as a few weeks ago...Terlingua, Texas...of course! Though the thought of having to put up with the brutal desert summers even with air conditioning is no longer appealing to me. To be fair it never has been as I would have to be totally out of mind to even consider that option. The desert is a place that calls out to me but only in the winter months.
So that leaves me to where I would spend the rest of the year? Have NO idea but it certainly would not be Houston or Del Rio. Then again do I have a choice?
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
