Thank you Charles and Jackie for the warm welcome!

Originally I really liked the flat tax idea, but I have warmed up to the idea that a (reasonable) progressive system of some sort is the best choice.The reason is because of a phenomenon called "accumulated advantage".As a person becomes wealthier, it becomes easier to accumulate more wealth.

I love the year round warm temps and water you can get into year round. 

A key question is if your dad wants a warm climate and snow free living.

Again, having been personally involved with disasters ranging from tornadoes, fires, floods, earthquakes and hurricanes for over half of my life my wife and I never go on any long road trips without taking a reasonable amount of water, food, warm clothing, sleeping bags, road flares, a first aid kit and other items of self protection.

I generally like red front doors, but not so much with the house's warm orange-y brick color.

Social networking is a great way to meet many people that you would otherwise have difficulty meeting, but it doesn't give the warm and fuzzy feeling of a real face-to-face meet.

I'm bringing my shorts in case it's warm enough.

If you can play the game the game will warmly invite you in.Forgive spelling errors.

@Manny Cirino how many of those responses each week turn into deals or at least warm leads?
