He’s in Bloomington, home of Indiana University (I.U.) Beautiful area, very
nice. Literally the foothills of the Appalachians. I’m going to be down that
way for a wedding in September. The weather will be perfect that time of year.
The dividing line is more or less I-70. North of that is flat and south is
rolling hills that get progressively larger as you head towards the Ohio River.

Where,are you Allan? Sounds like my kind of place. I like the seasons but
we are not that cool yet. We have had 2 heat waves.

We've had a normal-to-cool summer here so far. Got down to 52 last
night, unheard of for August. Wonderful sleeping weather. Haven't run
the AC since last weekend.
The worst of the hot/humid summer days here can be unpleasant to be
sure. But I like having a distinct Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. By
the time you get sick of the heat (or cold), the season changes. At the
same time, none of it is really extreme.

DC Area had its hottest July on record with 20 straight days above 90
deg.
F. We are also up 7" on rainfall YTD after the Isaias drenching.
Incidentally, my Pepco bill for July was $30 net due to 55 solar PV
panels
on the roof, with the central AC running 24/7.

I would say that’s a pretty broad list. You probably need to qualify
what’s most important to you and weight each choice to figure out what’s
best.
I can deal with the winter, I think. It wasn’t bad before when we moved
back to Indiana, just the lack of sunlight, but that can be addressed a
number of ways. The thing we like about WI is the quality of life there.
Can’t quantify this, but it’s a great place in so many ways. I would
presume that places like MI or MN would be similar.
SWMBO has pretty well decided that this is the house she’s going to
expire
in, so the potential for a future move is pretty slim. I could see a
possible seasonal home somewhere else, but even that’s not likely.

You know, Dan, we are considering the following in no particular
order:
Stay in AZ
Wisconsin
Minnesota
Iowa
Michigan
Indiana
Colorado
Florida
It’s a very tough decision. It ratchets up my anxiety.

You DO NOT want to move to Illinois.
My brother in law left Illinois two years ago to move back to
Indiana,
after living near Champagne/Urbana for a number of years. Great area,
wonderful college town with a very vibrant community,low crime, etc. His
tax burden dropped by double digits when he moved out of IL.
The state is going down the financial tubes, and they're increasingly
placing the burden on the taxpayers while doing little to remediate the
problems that caused the issues to begin with.
I would move back to WI in a heartbeat. SWMBO would never sign off on
this unless it was for a summer home, but I don’t want to split my life
between two places so far apart. All I can think of is what I would do
when
I needed something and it was at the other house…

We have had 32 days with highs over 110 degrees this summer so far.
More are forecasted for the next week. Now, granted, our humidity is
nonexistent, so it’s just as stifling but in a different way.
We’ve lived here since 1982. I am getting ready to retire, living
in a
place where many retire to. SWMBO says she misses seasons (I interpret
that
as, “let’s move”).
We both grew up in Illinois, we have family there, but taxes are
killer (my dad reminds me every time I talk with him on the phone).
So much to consider.....

I am with you Curt. Been over 90 here for 5-6 in a row with
wicked
humidity. We live on the bay but even the breeze off the water is
hot.
Reminds me of our 8 years in Nashville.
