The dry brown landscape got really old for me. I need green again! And rain is not a bad thing in my opinion.
I was there in '06. Hottest summer in recent history (got up to almost 120).
And I had to work on roofs (at least, supervise these projects).
And, yeah...I need green too. Green n' Mountains.

That's an excellent price. Would you regret it though when Dura-Ace 9000 starts rolling-out in a few months?
