Your biggest issue is living in Texas, I hope the tint change helps, but when it's 100+, it can only do so much!

Driving a car with 5% is just stupid. I can barely see out of 20% at night and i roll my windows down when backing up all the time. I cant imagine 5%.
That sucks, up here in ol nebraska we are having one of the best summers we have ever had!! Havent even hit a 100 yet...typically its 85-93 which is PERFECT!!

True. But you can't compensate for a beach & great weather now can you?
Or better still, the amount of JOBS that pay well. My sis keeps trying to convince me to move to NC, but HELL NO. You can get one job, but get laid off and you're homeless. Forget that, I am fine here in Cali (just as I was in NYC) plenty of good paying jobs, just gotta be qualified.

I agree, isn't Clearwater one of the top 10? For beaches I much prefer the Caribbean, much nicer, the water here is COLD and DIRTY. Gimme St. Johns any day.
