I actually always felt like once I actually got physically on a desert in the junior year of college, it was like, that’s where I was supposed to be. It just, it was an environment that just spoke to me immediately that there wasn’t any, “Gee, I kinda like it,” it was like, this is it. I think if my aunt and uncle had lived in Tucson, that desert is extraordinary. And if they had lived there, that’s where I would have started, but they lived in Southern California, so I’d never seen the desert in Tucson at that point. I’d just seen Southern California desert, which is much harsher. It’s low Colorado Desert. It makes Tucson look like a jungle. And so, but it was desert and it’s still the vistas and the dry air and the warmth and being able to see, now I live in forest again, but in the desert, you can see nature, it’s all there.
