Random Musings of Brian A. Thomas. Love for Sara and Ari.

Sara is not convinced yet, not convinced of California at all really, but I am adding Davis to the potential places to move list. I am not sure yet where it is on the list, but for review:
Davis
Vancouver, BC, Canada
Wellington, New Zealand
Greater Phoenix area… though I far prefer Prescott, which is a bit out of [...]
Okay, so we have a 5 year plan to move out of the US.
We have a few main points of looking at so far…
Wellington, New Zealand. I would prefer somewhere along the Kapiti Coast if I could get a job there as well since it is so far from Wellington’s CBD, but still part of [...]

I haven’t played the If We Were In (insert city name here) Right Now game for a while.
Here the high is actually 46 with a low of 36. By the weekend the temperature will drop to 28 for the low with 40 for a high. Fairly mild for this time of year.
For other cities:
Auckland: High [...]
I just learned that Arizona has banned Zillow from it’s estimates on property values in Arizona. I find this odd, seeing that it is an estimate and costs appraisers nothing, so it doesn’t protect them from anything, nor does it protect consumers, but hurts them in the end. You don’t hire an appraiser for each [...]

Yep, still on the desire to move to Arizona thread. However, if we were there, we wouldn’t have an NBA team in the final four, unlike here, where Cleveland actually made it to the final four. I think we should do okay against Detroit, so Cleveland may finally have a team in a championship game [...]

I just took an online quiz, and my Top Spot came out Phoenix, followed by Lake Havasu City, Arizona, St. George, Utah, Charleston, South Carolina, Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Greenville, South Carolina, Tucson, Arizona, Yuma, Arizona, Ocala, Florida, with Bryan-College Station, Texas rounding out my top 10. It would be nice if you could exclude areas such [...]
Posted in Arizona, Politics, Ron Paul for President on May 2nd, 2007
I just noticed now that the Ron Paul Rescue US blog, which I check out daily, along with the Daily Paul, is out of Phoenix (Rescue US, not Daily Paul), our hopeful future home. Wish I could go to your next meetup folks. I’ll sadly be at work and miss the debate (not to mention [...]
I recently also added Buckeye, AZ (go there using Google Earth), another suburb of Phoenix, to the list of Arizona cities I may move to that I mentioned before. It is one of the fastest growing areas of Phoenix and will likely become the largest suburb of Phoenix (if not the largest suburb in the [...]
We wouldn’t be freezing this morning. The temperature in Chandler, AZ right now, according to our friendly Yahoo! front page (they get their info from the Weather Channel) is 57 degrees, with a high of 91… Here the greater Akron/Canton area it is 48, with a high of 67 with strong storms coming. Of course [...]
While if we do move, we’ll probably move to the Chandler area so that we can work in the Phoenix area. Prescott is the area that appeals to me most, but, unfortunately moving there, or Payson, or anywhere that far seems to limit my career options. Anyhow, here is a little song about Prescott. Not [...]
It is time again. Time to consider relocating from this dying city, and dying faster now that Hoover is closing shop, and move to a better place. Something warmer and sunnier.
Before we go on our tour, make sure you get Google Earth, perhaps one of the coolest tools around, as I’ll have a “(Go there)” [...]
