Hard to believe 86 wasn't just 20 years ago... but when I think of all that's happened since then - yeah, we're pushing at 40 years.

Funny how experiences like you speak of prepare us for "less than ideal conditions". I feel sorry for folk who've never learned to do without the luxuries of "civilization" or how to make do with less than what a lot of folks in the US today consider "essential".

Anyway, I never got to spend much time in the US SW. Dad, on the other hand, considered Arizona to be "one step away from heaven". Then he raised us in the Amazon Basin where we were surrounded by water, and wondered why we weren't all that impressed with arid conditions when we DID get to visit up there.
