Except for my Army time,I've always lived within a 10 mile radius of where I was born.Today,much of that area is located in Barney Frank's district.I don't know when,if ever,this area voted for decent,respectable candidates but it certainly hasn't for the last 20 years or more.
Although I'm a guy to whom "home" means a lot,I'm growing tired of this state and region.I've grown tired of the weather,the taxes,the amoral politicians,the phoney millionaire "progressives" and other things as well.
Soon,I'll be leaving....probably for Virginia or North Carolina.I'd head to Florida or Georgia,but there's *no* way that I could stand heat and humidity for 9 months a year.
Plenty of room here in Texas...Hot and dry in Fredericksburg....the hill country. Try it!
