you like My Name is Earl better than Lost?!

Josh said...

Nice streak of posts. It was fun reading about your trip. Did your snowy weather make you appreciate Arizona more or are you now more in a hurry to head off to CO? Did Dan really eat 16 tacos in one sitting?

Stemshul said...

I stand corrected. LOST was my favorite show of the year.

Ive started packing for our next move. It was really depressing coming down from Flagstaff and having to turn the AC on because the sun was beating down so hard. Yesterday we had the window in the living room open all afternoon. There isnt a winter in Phoenix.

katohater said...

Stemshul said...

Havent had to yet.

katohater said...

that's amazing. we run ours every night.

Stemshul said...

Yeah, not only have we not turned the heat on but we also had the windows in the living room open all afternoon the last two days.

katohater said...

how can fresh air be a bad thing?

Stemshul said...

Because Phoenix is in the top 25 worst citys for smog in the US.
