Subject: CRYONICS  Moving to Phoenix

A couple of other things to think about in a Phoenix site:

(1) Proximity to a flood.  In February, the Gila river flooded near Phoenix,
    nearly closing Interstate 10.  Check that the new building is not too
    close to a wash, and the relative altitude of the basement.

(2) Is air conditioning a problem?  Pheonix has a number of near 110F days
    each year.  This might be a trivial consideration, but I haven't done
    the numbers.  Also, to what extent does patient safety depend on
    functional A/C for the ordinary building space?  I assume LN2 boiloff
    goes up as the surrouding air tempaerature rises; does +30F matter?

(3) Is the building too close to the airport?  There's a small extra risk
    of being under a plane crash, and of being eminent-domained in an
    airport expansion.
