Gowanda. Earlier in the week I saw forecast for highs in upper 20's. Was a bit irritating, but what can you do.
Cold? I put so much thought into this and I think I'm f#$%ed. NY's cold is just too freaking long. Friend in NC gets routine 90's near the coast. I can't seem to think of a place that has >7months of tolerable weather or <4months of intolerable. I could / can handle it if I were retired, I think. I do have a genuine love for days like EB's pic. The first fresh dump, or after any fresh dump. The serenity of a big fall that shuts everything down. And big storm events are one of the few times I truly feel... free. Like there can be no surprises or responsibilities, even ones I forgot, because even if there were, activity is shut down and action is impossible. It's a fantastic feeling, a true vacation. And trout fishing is fun, and hockey is awesome, and random days on the slopes are some of the best. But making a buck in it sucks a bag of 'em. No, five bags. Being in it can be nice. HAVING to be in it is asfhn#$^@MOI2#*( Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Did you make up your mind between Naples and Villages? Or somewhere else? Only real derangment going on is people who still believe in Trump |

Isn't the proper question "Did your wife decide which location that you will be living in?" At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

The male ego is fragile, so I left it alone. Only real derangment going on is people who still believe in Trump |

I do not get the fascination with CA. If you love traffic, high costs for everything, getting panhandled, and shallow people it could be the place for you. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

To answer Rx and DR, no decision. The first decision is IF we are doing it. We will see how she feels when younger daughter starts college next year. I would be happy in either locale. I am hoping to go back for a longer period this February. We shall see. |

This sounds like the people who judge all of Nevada by looking at Las Vegas, Only real derangment going on is people who still believe in Trump |

It accurately describes most of the populated areas of CA. The whole state is basically a third world nation now. A upper class doing well, extreme poverty at the bottom, and the middle struggling to survive. $4 and $5 gas. Unaffordable housing. They can have it. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

Exactly. There are plenty of smaller cities in California where you wouldn't have bad traffic and exorbitant costs. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |
