Day 943 of 1000

I was disabused of a lot of misconceptions about life in Phoenix this weekend.  An old friend from Oregon took me around to see houses.  We talked about ways to stay cool on the hot days, grow stuff (citrus!), buy a house where water is not a problem, and a bunch of other stuff.  Our ideas about what we want in a house have changed pretty dramatically.  It seems like it is pretty hard to live anywhere near Phoenix on anything over an acre of land without a great view of some mountains.  Here are a couple of pictures of stuff we really liked–palm trees, swimming pools, orange trees, and fabulous mountain views.
