I fantasize about migrating to a desert.

TEDTalks : Temple Grandin: The world needs all kinds of minds

This video was fantastic.  Educators should most certainly watch this.

Temple Grandin, diagnosed with autism as a child, talks about how her mind works -- sharing her ability to "think in pictures," which helps her solve problems that neurotypical brains might miss. She makes the case that the world needs people on the autism spectrum: visual thinkers, pattern thinkers, verbal thinkers, and all kinds of smart geeky kids.
