Boston might be on the table too. I would happily move to Boston.

Minneapolis was mentioned too. *shudder* PASS!

People have attached more Bio-Survival anxiety to money then they care to admit, or even recognize.

Having once been in a state of scraping by on every paycheck, and now being in a place where bills are paid without a second thought, I absolutely prefer the latter.

Oh, hell, yes.  I've been "do I have enough Ramen noodles to make it to the end of the week" broke, having a steady paycheck is definitely preferable.

But, money is never the ONLY thing to consider.

[LMNO]

Of course. 




There's also sex. 

[Luna]

Of course. 




There's also sex. 

Is there?  Not sure I remember...

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

Go if you want the adventure of starting over.
Don't go if you prefer the adventure of new stuff from a safe base.

Go if you want more money.
Don't go if you prefer good friends over money.

Go or don't go, either way... You're Cramulus, and therefore likely to have bizarre adventures staying or going

[The Good Reverend Roger]

I was just probed


*pause*



to see if I would be interested in working in Phoenix.




Nothing definite yet.

kind of in shock?

I really like where I'm living right now. Like, a lot. But I'm not closed to the idea of moving somewhere crazy. But phoenix?


whow

it's all still sinking in

Good.  We're going to need a 4th in our campaign.

Incidentally, Phoenix is an awful shithole, and you'll leave your soul on the rooftop to dry, each and every night.  Sheriff Joe lives there.  All the legislators that write these horrible laws live there.  And people LOVE them.

It's so bad, the papers here are talking about seceding from the state of Arizona to form a new state, without the evil up North.

So it's perfect for you, Cram.  It's a target-rich environment.

Would you like to know more?

[Cramulus]

  you've phrased that in such an alluring way, Roger!


Nothing is definite yet... New Jersey and Boston are higher on my list. They'd have to throw a big wad of cash at me to get me to move to AZ for exactly the reasons you've mentioned. I don't want to live in AZ for the same reasons I don't want to live in Dark Sun. If they offer me a job in NJ, it only adds 20-25 min to my commute and I get to keep my great apartment. If I get a job in Boston, I already know like 20 people there. If they offer me a job in AZ I'll have to make myself some armor out of tires and learn how to throw a javelin.

On the upside, tire armor would be cool.

This needs to be a project for the May Meatup.  Everyone bring a roadside tire, I'll bring tools, a worktable, and 100 ft. of paracord so we cn give Cram a road Warrior makeover.

1.  You'll be eaten by Guidos in New Jersey.  They don't cull them, so they've gotten totally out of control.

2.  Boston would rock.  If I have my choice of cities to live in, Providence, Boston, and Toronto would be the only 3 I'd consider.  Portland, maybe, if I didn't have to make a living.

3.  But here in Arizona, Cram, you get to see the hairless apes running around with their pance down and their crazy hanging out.  It's not pretty, but it is reality.  Imagine every dystopian future you can think of, and we already have it...It's like the land of the living dead up there, Cram.  Nobody has a soul.  It's like Devil Rain only urban and without William Shatner.  On the plus side, it's a mere 90 mile drive to Tucson, where we have perverts and gigantic street parties for no reason, and hardly anyone shoots the ice cream man anymore, and you can drift off to sleep to the sound of small arms fire and the sirens of emergency vehicles, wailing softly as they try to hold back the night.

Steel Belted Wisby?

ahhh roger you really are speaking my language. Thanks for reminding me it might not be that bleak.  Or at least, it'll be bleak in a good way.

Well, I suppose tires are good for Roamin' around...

It's like living in the Discovery Channel, Cramulus...In every possible meaning that could generate.  I love this place, and I'll never leave. Anthropologists never do.  I mean, if you want to study people, THIS is where you go.  Every human behavior is on display here, right in front of children and stupid people.  We live in about 7 8 decades at once, because time is all...fuzzy, here.

For example, I'm sitting at a 2010s computer in a monster 2000 house on a hill, with cars from the 90s, music from the 80s, and just down the street is the police station, and they still wear fucking Sam Brown belts because they're stuck in the 30s, and the downtown is the roaring 20s, which are roundly hated by my neighbors, who think they're in 1956.  ETA:  And everyone's still packing like it's 1880.

And you can't get out.

But why would you want to?
