The wife and I are looking into relocating to Medford. She is a dialysis technition. I am a retired Marriage and family therapist. We have "served our time" in the deserts of southern Utah and want to find a cooler, wetter place to call home. Where we live, in Parowan Utah, it rains a grand total of seven inches a year. Thats right. Seven whole inches. Out here we spend our lives looking for, hoping for, praying for rain. I don't want to kill myself suffering from seasonal affect disorder so I don't want to live in the rainforest but I do want to see more rain than I do now. Thus, Medford. Google tells me that Medford enjoys 18 inches of rain per year. Is that true? Do you get sun? Do you get enough rain? Can you grow a garden? Are the streets littered with the bodies of people who did themselves in from depression and gloom from the weather? Is the water clean? Is the air clean? Is the city clean? Is crime under control? Is there a decent university where a person can attend the occasional lecture or debate? Is the library a large one? Is it quiet? Is the airport adequate? (could I visit a relative in Salt Lake City on a direct flight?) Are there ANY democrats? Is the political mood in Medford one characterized by intelligent, informed and civilized debate? Will I get crap for being a liberal? Is the fishing good? Are the winters too cold? Are the summers too hot? Do you have to sprinkle your lawns to get them to grow and is the yard water rationed? Are there festivals, events, celebrations, community activities? Are there musical acts? Mimes? Street musicians? Rodeos? I hope to get responses as I am serious. Sallie and I are coming out on the train to spend a week. Thanks, Ches
