Come to the valley in Lemoore, CA. It's a nice 70 degrees during the day, but that's winter time, during the summer it regularly gets over 110 degrees.
Colder climates are better for the summer seasons, trust me. Especially when that electric bill rolls in at $500 dollars on a 3 bdrm house, single floor, 2100 sq. feet just to keep the place at a nice comfortable 90 degrees.

Word of the day for you: Rhetorical.

I was supposed to take my physical in September and leave in October, but I ended up going on a late night drinking binge with some old high school buddies and started hanging out and smoked some weed. So I kinda just told my recruiter a lie about some family affairs and floated around the southwestern US for a couple months until I figured I goofed off enough.
I actually go in for my physical Friday and will probably leave in a couple of weeks.

Go have a drink with some friends first.

Near Bangor, in Orono actually. Presque Isle is actually part of Canada... ;)

With a city name like "Caribou" you'd think you were in Canada!
Bangor's likely north of you! It's cold there. On the other hand they do have a lovely Potato Museum.

Well, Aroostook County was actually part of Canada around the time of the Revolutionary War and someone apparently lost the maps and it was redrawn to be part of the US. We also like to call Presque Isle and Caribou, Brokeback Mountain: Northern Edition. Well, I do. Everyone else calls it God's Country or the Bible Belt of New England. Me..I can actually call a spade a spade.

RACK for not being just another stupid American.
Sheesh, I feel like I'm reading Stephen King again!
Cold doesn't bother me much, it's wind that makes me uncomfortable. And not just because I'm just a wee little twig that will blow away if not tethered to the ground.

I don't mind the cold so much anymore, but I am truly sick of the snow. I can't keep my damn car clean, and my windshield wiper fluid reservoir shattered or something, so now I have to open my window and squirt my water bottle at my windshield hood-style everytime I want to clean the salt off so I can see. No problem at a red light-a total ***** on the highway.

You can remove the reservoir pretty easily with a wrench, then put a bleach bottle in place of it with a hole in top side for the feed tube if you want to do a quick repair for now. Remember to use anti-freeze though or you'll be screwed. Additionally, park your car in a warm garage to un-freeze whatever is in the lines first, then run through some antifreeze. This will stop them from completely not working.

Ha! You probably had straight water in your reservoir. You need to use an anti-freeze with at least 40% glyceryn. Silly American.

I had a discussion with a friend about this sort of thing this past weekend. I told him offhand that I didn't know how to change my own oil, and he went off the deep end, telling me that every person should know basic car maintenence, that it's sad that people have to bring their car into the shop for every little thing, etc.
Of course, he's a mechanic, so he shut up after I politely informed him that people like me kept him employed.

Ah, yeah around here if it's not rated for -40 Celcius then it's not even sold in winter. I take that for granted.

Amazing that you'd let it go that long! Depending on the year of your vehicle, you can probably get a new resivoir for very cheap at an auto-wreckers and the replacement would take 5 mins for someone mechanically inclined. If you have the part's I'll fix it if I'm around.

And which parts would those be...
We don't have that nasty below zero crap they have other places... like Europe. So I bet Canada has it too. Stinks to high heaven enough to make me puke. Makes my eyes water and gives me a headache that makes me grouchy, and on some EU cars that **** is automatically squirted.
American cars for not having that **** on them.
I do think the auto wipers and digital blinkers are cool tho
Oh and I can change my own oil

That's so ghetto fab. I say you stick with the set up and make this horn a priority purchase before repair of the fluid reservoir:
