So true, the consumption has gone way overboard and tension is just something I'd rather live without. I remember growing up, even in my 20s, just cruising and having any sort of conversations with any sort of people regardless of anything. This stuff has gotten so stupid that I honestly feel suffocated. And when I thought about it recently, where is there a place to go where all of this would go away, I could not honestly think of one place on planet earth.

Then you should. I did. There now. But you won't find what you wish to find in Canada.

Well, that looks just absolute.

My wife wants to move to Maine. It’s beautiful in the summer, but I’m going to insist on spending time there in January and February before committing to it. She’s a southern belle who’s never experienced a New England winter.

We just spent some time in Maine. We do in October. Very nice. The poverty in northern Maine is very shocking. I never saw so many burned down and abandoned houses.

I moved from South Florida to Greenville, South Carolina 2 1/2 years ago...Miss the weather and the electricity of South Florida..and the beaches ...so I have sold my house and have purchased another one in South Florida, hopefully I’ll be back home by mid January.

Other than the USA, maybe Austria or Switzerland for the view of the countryside, but I’m just happy where I am.

I live just where I want to be.
Boca Raton, FL, right between Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, an hour from Miami.
Paradise.
