You know, though, that it's only the fifth largest from September 15 to May 15 each year when you people stay over there -- LOL. But we still welcome you over here from May 15 to September 15. Several of my neighbors are permanent residents of the Valley of the Sun but summer residents of San Diego.

Kat ~ You're not just kidding about that, Kat! Our sales are WAY up, and our inventory is dropping like a rock in your lake! It's nice to see, after a 3-year lull. :)

Jim ~ LOL! There's truth in your words, as our 'summer' is almost as bad as many folks' winters. Thanks for allowing us to 'commute' to your fair city during those heated times. ;-)
