As griped about when I lived there, the sun in Phoenix is obnoxious. It's like wanting to take a nice warm shower and having boiling water come out of the tap. People there are like "Yeah, it's great! I love boiling water!" and that's all very nice, but I prefer the more gentle experience of a spring day in the Northwest.
No, I have not been abducted by aliens. I really am extolling the virtues of sunny spring days.
I'm tired of my usual walks, especially the uphill one I sometimes do on my lunch hour. The slope is obnoxiously steep which of course makes it a good workout, but it's not a pretty walk and I sometimes end up near Crazy Angry Man. Crazy Angry Man spends his days roaming Tacoma's streets, shouting obscenities. He has the loudest voice I've ever heard. When you're on the same street as him it's like there's a concert-sized speaker transmitting a broadcast from hell.
On the other side of the spectrum, University Place is one of the nicest areas in Tacoma. Nice as in beautiful views, happy suburban children and no Crazy Angry Man. It was a great place for a long walk today.
I wouldn't mind living in this neighborhood:
