Yeah when I was planning retirement, we tried to find a place near Flagstaff but price and covenants were not workable. So we ended up near Prescott National forest instead.
As for Missouri, I have lots of cousins in Cuba/Bourbon/Sullivan area and spent some summer weeks there. Uncle had a fish farm and fishing was basically non-stop. Those were memorable weeks I look back on fondly. Only visited St Louis and was never there long enough to have any issues I remember but that was in the 60s and early 70s.

We went all over that town as kids. We'd take the bus down town, go to Cardinal games etc totally unsupervised. We roamed forest Park all summer. Got mugged there while fishing. Got arrested for swimming in the fountain. Our playground included the Art Museum and the Arch. We skinny dipped in the Missouri river. We used to hang out in the Chase Park Plaza hotel begging autographs from the base ball players that stayed there. Now days our parents would be arrested for child abuse. We survived.
we mostly spent our days in forest park or tower grove park, so lovely , we love to roller blade, skateboard attend all the festivals, little to no traffic
go down to the cabins near ha ha tonka state park for summer vacation

and when it does snow we loved going to art hill to sled down!

its a nice place most underrated city in the usa, where else can you say the musumes and zoos are FREE ALL the time for kids. and adults to enjoy no where.

It gets hot here in Nor Cal but nothing like Arizona. Once the bake is on there it just keeps rolling. At least we cool down in the evenings a bit typically.
I've seen enough deserts to last me two lifetimes however. The same with hurricanes/typhoons.

Sacramento, got to love it, 2 hrs for surfing in one direction, 2 hrs for snow in the other, and tomatoes everywhere else :D

We lived 4 houses down from the corner of Big Bend And Delmar. Still have a few friends there.

I decided to take the leash off the subwoofer last night.
Right around 12:30 AM my phone lights up, with a call.
It's my mother.

"Son, why am I calling you at 12:30 AM from 2 states away in the middle of the night?"
"The magic 8-ball says my daughter called you and she asked you to tell me to turn it down?" (Yes, my teenager disciplines me through my mother.)
"Yes. Now why am I calling you at 12:30 AM from 2 states away, to tell you turn your music down on behalf of your teenager?"
"Well mom, because in my 40's I've got better funding, a 192khz 24bit DAC, a nice set of solid state class-A/B amplifiers, and gigabytes of digital instruments you wouldn't let me have hardware versions of in the 90's, all of which allow me to be far more awesome than I was at 15, but I'll turn it down for my kid."
"Thank you, goodnight." <Click>

I turn down my music, kid knocks on the wall, "Thanks dad."
15 minutes later, my little sister texts me a laughing emoji and "That was epic!"

Proving your 78 year old mother wrong and NOT having to tell your kid to turn it down; but having your mother still have to tell you to turn it down now for your teenager, 30 years after you've moved out, classic.

For everything else there's a 37.99875% APR compounded to Citigroup.

OK 20 more minutes and then I'm turning the subwoofer back on and waking up the women-folk.

Noon is late enough for both the wife and the child, sheesh. I was up at 4:30, have done all the quiet stuff I can and need to make noise to get things done, now.

Lifetime insomnia + sativa = super powers
Man I love your posts,get me laughing every time. Good times :D
