A happy ending, at least so far. But why Texas, if you don't mind my asking?

A bit of family, a LOT of space, a view forever, a starry night, dead silence when I turn off the TV and finally of course the financial aspects. We could afford to move over to the retirement community here and even tho we checked it out there was really never any desire to stay even after more than 30 years.
To be honest, we lived our first 15 years in Santa Barbara and if the plant had not closed and we were still there I might be singing a different tune. But the politics of this state do weigh heavily.
I loved Santa Barbara, the view on the way to Cold Springs Tavern was awsome, but it would get old.
Spent a few months in 29 palms, went to LA, Palm Springs, drove from SB to Fresno once, that was cool
I still like New England for the full 4 seasons, but the politics are awful.
My new job should work out, so, I still wont be moving, but at least I am now making enough money to stabilize and actually get ahead once this job falls in place
