Feb 2024

I plan to move whoever wins. We're from Vermont and my wife can't take the cold. You'd think after sixty something years, she'd be used to it.

We aready have a house in Baja California South and spend about half the year here. Great people, beautiful scenery, good food, cheap cost of living.

I'm so-called full retirement age, but will probably work three to six more months back in Vermont before living here in Mexico fulltime.

Retiringly yours,
Sorghum Crow
