    Wow, what a view! Very nice.

    No worries, global warming will have all that melted in no time ;)
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Exactly! And i wouldn't feel bad about working on the car on the "lawn."

    I've considered moving to Arizona to get away from grass lawns.

    Here's the view straight ahead, and a bit to the left; these are the Huachuca mountains from our front yard:

    Yesterday morning woke up with this.

    This is SoCal. Last week storms made this possible.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    To the left, far out in the distance (about 27 miles) you'd see the Bisbee, Mule, and Dragoon mountain ranges.

    yeah, not too far from Mt. Baldy. It looks closer than it is.

    Same with us, it looks like we are right there, but the foothills are actually about 8 miles as a crow flys.

    Here's a couple of snow shots from atop Mt. Lemmon, about an hour and a half north of Steve. The elevation is about 7000-8000ft. Snow was knee to mid-thigh deep in most places with holes waist deep. Went up for work to help with the power restoration efforts.

    Pebble lawns are cool, I too get frustrated at the time and money I have to spend on keeping up a lawn. I also get pissed driving by a forest preserve and seeing that the grass is nicer than mine, and that grass is left alone. Oh well, when I was growing up, had a neighbor who was tired of taking care of his lawn, black topped the whole front and rear yard. Betcha his resale value went south.
