Well, if you’re in the middle of a desert it’s greener pastures either way.
The Song, Hey, Look Me Over contained the message, “I figure whenever you’re down and out there’s nowhere to go but up.” Although these guys are too well dressed to have hit rock bottom.
There are reports that many folks are leaving the cities for the open plains and the mountain states. There are so many, the voter roles are being revised almost monthly. It suggests that the pollsters’ predictions of election outcomes might be ‘just a tad’ more complicated.
It also appears that many of the former city dwellers are going to be surprised [shocked, maybe?] by the political and social differences they encounter.

Strange that so many of these strips take place in southern Arizona.

Reminds me of a B Kliban strip where two guys are about to meet on a hill, traveling in opposite directions with 2 signs saying “Nirvana 7 miles”…

That’s why I never look for greener pastures. I just look for peace and contentment. If that peace is in the middle of a desert, that’s fine too!

Not EVERYWHERE. Lot’s of places in “FLY OVER” country don’t have one near By! That’s why we like it here. You can keep both coasts. Happy Ulcers.

The “winter of discontent” that will last year round. Their own attitude will influence how “green” things will be.

“No matter where you go. There you are.” Sometimes it’s not “better” you’re looking for. Just different.

“Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
The Cheshire Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.
Alice: I don’t much care where.
The Cheshire Cat: Then it doesn’t much matter which way you go.
Alice: …So long as I get somewhere.
The Cheshire Cat: Oh, you’re sure to do that, if only you walk long enough.”

Today’s earworm, “Mountain Greenery”, by Mel Tormé:
In a mountain greenery
Where God paints the scenery
Just two crazy people together
While you love your lover, let
Blue skies be your coverlet
When it rains we’ll laugh at the weather
And if you are good, I will search for wood
So you can get to cooking, while I stand there looking
Beans could get no keener reception in a beanery
Bless our mountain greenery home
