I'm not surprised.I'll be leaving in the not-too-distant future for VA or NC.I won't go any farther south because I need four seasons.
I left MA in Sep 2001 after I lost my wife. I never really liked living in MA because I couldn't stand being around Catholics who continued to send those two abortion-mongers, Kennedy and Kerry, back to the Senate. And my congresscritter, Bill Delahunt, was the guy who was treating with Chavez for cheap oil for the poor in Southie after I left. There are some good people in MA, but they are outnumbered by the bed-wetting limp wrists.
I live in Maryland , and hope to be moving in the not too distant future north to New England. New Hampshire would be my first choice, but Massachussetts only comes in second because of NH's tax benefits. Although we have four abbreviated seasons, from the mid-atlantic to the carolinas...summers can be brutal. Often Spring and Fall are only fleeting, and winter still gets cold. This year we had a splendid spring...but it's certainly not usual.
