Hiding in the Bunker

SC is having one of its unwelcome two-day hot snaps (yesterday: 97, apparently), so I opted to spend the afternoon hiding in the bunker and watching Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job working on my dissertation.

This, the weather and the dissertation, makes me think about places B and I would be willing to move to if a job materialized. Let's see...

• Nowhere too hot.
• Nowhere too far from the ocean or at least some enormous body of water.
• Nowhere in the deep south.
• Nowhere too cold.
• Nowhere so BFE that we were the only blue-state types in the county.
• B would need some serious convincing to consider the eastern seaboard.
• Nowhere with tornadoes or hurricanes as a regular weather phenomenon.

This narrows it down to, let's see, about seventy or eighty square miles of the United States, collectively. So we just need a tenure-track job in modern European history, preferably focused on intellectual history and/or French history, preferably with a heavy teaching focus, to open up somewhere in those areas.

P.S. This is why we have the "screw it, let's go to plan B" backup.
