I was In Chicago since Saturday night returning last night. Monday and Tuesday we’re full on summer-85-90 with dews. I’m embracing change-time to turn old man winter’s eyes to the north.
It’s ironic that bears, big cats, bulls, and other big animals scare people a lot more world wide vs tiny mosquitoes which can cause malaria and other diseases...
This is the worst time of year to me....almost tied with spring but at least in spring we’re gaining light. Once it’s chilly enough for snow I’m good but typically that’s 2 months away.
Taxes are a bad reason to leave given the difficulty in relocating. Then again-MA is pretty tax friendly to retirees especially govt retirees-no state taxes on social security or federal pension. I would never go to the wasteland known as Florida. I’m staying in New England.
I loved Flowers for Algernon! Read it about 20 years ago and periodically do a reread. I was somewhat tongue in cheek though I sense the back half of October is cold.
