I often think of moving just far enough north to get some kind of fall and winter or all the way back to my childhood home of the Pacific Northwest.

We do have a nice sunny warm/cool winter

I'm out by Jacksonville Beach. I was happy when the electricity came on this morning.
My internet is still a little slow.

I stayed home with a flashlight and a FM radio with the windows boarded up. It was a beautiful day today though. The car was safe in the garage.

After Army, left my home state of Michigan in 1969 and moved to Florida. Loved every day. Heat/humidity does not bother me. After 8 years, left Florida for job opportunity. Always thought that I would return when I retired. Well, not so. Little did I know that wife hated the 8 years we were in Florida and there was no way she would return even on vacation. So, here I am stuck in a MD. But weather not as bad as Michigan's Winter. Look on the positive side.

I am looking to move out of E. Texas to a cooler and milder four season area. Looking really hard at Bristol Tennessee. Low cost of living, no income tax state, nice distinct but generally mild four season climate. Seems to be a good spot for car guys. Highly recommended by folks I know that live in that general area. In the northwest I love Coure D'Alene Idaho. Gorgeous small city on the shore of a beautiful lake, also on my list but my gal isn't that keen on going that far north. Anyway, just a few thoughts on escaping the heat/humidity thing. Best wishes!

We rent cabins in north Ga. Its a nice compromise because we can drive and take our dogs. But nothing beats the PNW it has everything I like ..... Mountains, coastal water, great seafood and somewhat mild winter as compaired to the midwesst or even the north east.

I got the Corvette out of the garage today for a cruise at the beach. The main drag was happy and I got a wave from a C7 vert owner.

My engine is still in the brake-in stage so I needed to push it in harder than cruising the beach.

It was nice to be able to go out doors and have fresh air.
