06/08 4eme semaine/ 4th week

Et c'est repartit pour un tour. Le planeur est de nouveau base a Turf, au nord de Phoenix, retour a la case depart puisque c'est la que je l'ai achete il y'a 2 ans. Je n'ai pratiquemeent pas vole sur ce terrain , car ils ont fermes peu apres l'achat, et j'ai donc passe la semaine a chercher les coins aux alentours ou se trouvent les pompes. C'etait pas forcement terrible ces derniers jours, volable quand meme, c'est mieux ce week-end, mais helas, je pars au boulot!

A priori on ne pars plus dans l'Ohio. Je laisserai le soin a Kate de raconter pourquoi.
La contrepartie, c'est que nous acheterons probablement un avion l'annee prochaine. Affaire a suivre...

Welcome to the Desert Southwest, one of the hottest places on Earth. And adios to the rolling countryside of Ohio, the green, the rains, the trees, the streams and all else it entails. Why? In a word - perverts, perverts, and more perverts.

For those of you who don't smoke, have you ever noticed that to get "fresh" air you need to head indoors because the immediate exterior of all buildings belongs to the smokers. So, ironically, you can no longer enjoy fresh outdoor air, as the wind brings a wafe of stinky smoke to your nostrils. No, you must go inside, close the windows and inhale your recycled air.

In, thus, the same way the beautiful lands belong to the worst humanity has created - the pedofile. In appears, upon research, that affordable small town America belongs to the pedofile, because of the lax nature of the lifestyle (we don't need to lock our doors!) and because it doesn't cost them alot of up front money to live there, meaning they can work at the local five and dime as they scope their next victim.

So, alas, we bid farewell, though with sadness, to the beautiful Ohio, whose small towns have some of the highest rates of pedofiles in the nation. For example, our city hosts 1 pedofile for every 7000 people, for a total of 10 pedofiles in our city. The small town we wanted to move to in Ohio hosts 90 pedofiles, 1 for every 250 people, which pretty much means there's one of every street. Also, it seems Ohios laws are more lax than here in the Southwest, another reason they head over the hills over yander. Sad but true. Even a small town in perfect Maine where a friend of ours lives hosts 90 + pedofiles. So, we head to the hustle and bustle of our big city to, ironically, protect our little girl. Yeah, we've got our murders, rapes and robberies. Though it also seems our city has the best crime rates of the entire Valley. But, regardless, those target adults. Not 5 year old little girls and choir boys. Now you can have your opinion on the subject. And some may think we are overreacting. But if you knew you were moving to a town with a convicted murderer for every 250 people, with a convicted murderer on every street in your town, how would you feel? Or make him now a drug dealer. Or a rapist. Now how do you feel?

So, we'll give up the green, the hills, the countryside, the lazy rural days for the ironic protection of America's biggest cities, because, frankly, America's biggest cities don't stand for this crap and have the toughest laws against these &&#%^&@%^!%^!! sick bastards.

Now we did find small towns with no sickos, but the home prices were so beyond our means that we'd pretty much be living our mortgage.

So, goodbye small town America and we'll just settle for raising a street smart city girl who gets to travel the world.

Frankly, this is not how we want it. We hate this. But I may gamble on which horse will win, place or show, but I never bet against my daughter. Period.

Out!
