Being already retirement eligible and subject to 'pop smoke' likely within the next 12-18 months or so, the commonly-travelled road SOUTH holds little attraction for me. Association with some like-minded folks, and the tax situation (with proximity to Montana as well), holds some appeal that others' traditional "pre-retirement snowbird" locations can't. A recon is in the planning stages, aided by a stalwart friend with whom I correspond. Seed was planted awhile back, but his loaning me Molon Labe didn't hurt. Choice of donation of that which was earned by me remains with me. That it drives those who want it but can't have it to a frenzy is simply dessert.
