Doc Shapiro Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Howdy folks. It's been a while. We up and moved to McCall, ID. It's a lovely little mountain town, and a dream I've been chasing over 40 years. We got a little place on an acre. Here's a pic of something I've been waiting a lifetime for. And shot from inside our house out the back window. Hope everyone is well. 20 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Shapiro Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 We're shortly going to go out and play on all that white stuff. Sliding around on it is quite entertaining. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finagler 6853 Life Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Good for you. You don't know how good it feels to escape until you do it. You'll find that dealing with that "white stuff" can be taxing after a while but it will all be gone in a few months. Everything will turn green and beautiful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Congratulations Doc. Looks like you're doing great. I'm still kicking. 10 years retired. 4 grandkids with a 5th on the way in July. We find out if it's a boy or girl in the next couple of days. They're all within 30 minutes of us. Enjoy yourself! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wanted colder and snow. As my wife and I get older, our tolerance for heat is going down, and we're doing better with the cold. And we like skiing, a lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyesa Horg Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I moved from Communisticut to Vermont almost 20 years ago. Love the people and the very rural scenery, but the taxes here are starting to be unbearable, over a thousand a month now compared under a thousand a year when I moved here. All education taxes for kids that can't count change or tell time but know all about changing their gender or having litter boxes in the locker room. Still better than Connecticut I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
