Apparently the latter. I live in North Dakota. I would not live in CT if you offered to pay me to (nor MA, CA, NY, NJ, MD, IL,...none of the states with heavily socialist gun laws).
Someday we will leave California. I hope it is soon, and after the housing implosion. Sigh. Hubby has a good job that he has been with for over 30 years that he loves. But I have no desire to retire here.
